====================================================================== Please excuse multiple postings of this message ====================================================================== ACM CCS 2010 --- CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ====================================================================== Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACM CCS 2010. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security research. A workshop must be one full day in length. Proceedings of all workshops will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees. Each workshop will also have on-line proceedings through ACM Digital Library, with a separate ISBN. ====================================================================== Important Dates * Submission deadline: February 15, 2010 * CFP and Website for each workshop by March 15-25 * Suggested workshop papers submission deadline: around July 2 * Suggested workshop papers notification: before August 10 * Workshop papers camera ready: August 25 (hard deadline) ====================================================================== Workshop Proposal Submission For new workshops, proposals should include: * Workshop title * A draft "Call for Papers" articulating the scope and topics covered by the workshop * A brief summary and justification for the workshop, including anticipated benefits to the ACM CCS community. * Planned activities * Expected number of submissions and acceptance rate * Expected number of attendees * Program chair(s), and, if available, tentative program committee * A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organizing experience For previously-held workshops, in addition to the above, proposals must provide the following information, for the most recent incarnation of the workshop: * Number of submissions * Number of accepted papers * Estimated number of attendees Please submit workshop proposals by email to the ACM CCS Workshop Chairs, Ting Yu (yu@xxxxxxxxxxxx) and Ninghui Li (ninghui@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). All workshop proposals will be reviewed by the CCS Steering Committee. ====================================================================== Proposal Evaluation Criteria * The workshop is within the scope of computer and communications security and concerns a coherent and important technical topic of high interest in the community. * Its novelty with respect to other forums, especially with respect to other CCS workshops. * Its likely impact on the target community, including likely high participation. * One of the best ways to show likely interest is to have a strong set of researchers who have agreed to serve on the PC. ====================================================================== CCS Support for Workshops: If a workshop proposal is accepted, the ACM CCS workshop chairs will work closely with workshop organizers. The ACM CCS workshop chairs will help create/maintain the submission and reviewing websites for workshops (likely through EasyChair), and are responsible for monitoring and coordinating organizational aspects of the workshops. ======================================================================
