EUSecWest 2012, Amsterdam, September 19/20, Featuring Mobile PWN2OWN
CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline June 15 2012
AMSTERDAM, Nederland -- The seventh annual EUSecWest
applied technical security conference - where the eminent
figures in the international security industry get
together share best practices and technology - will be
held in downtown Amsterdam near Leidseplein Square on
September 19/20, 2012. The most significant new
discoveries about computer network hack attacks and
defenses, commercial security solutions, and pragmatic
real world security experience will be presented in a
series of informative tutorials.
This year the EUSecWest conference will also host
dedicated security coverage of mobile devices, and host
the first mobile device only focused PWN2OWN competition,
where researchers get to demonstrate live vulnerability
attack code against designated targets and, if
successful, get to keep the target hardware and cash
prizes.
The EUSecWest meeting provides international researchers
a relaxed, comfortable environment to learn from
informative tutorials on key developments in security
technology, and collaborate and socialize with their
peers in one of the world's most scenic cities - a short
walk away from several large hotels and the Leidseplein
entertainment and shopping district, conveniently close
to many famous museums, convenient transport, Vondel
Park, and a plentitude of restaurants and bars.
The EUSecWest conference will also feature the
availability of the Security Masters Dojo expert network
security sensei instructors, and their advanced, and
intermediate, hands-on training courses - featuring small
class sizes and practical application excercises to
maximize information transfer.
We would like to announce the opportunity to submit
papers, courses, and/or lightning talk proposals for
selection by the EUSecWest technical review committee.
This year we will be doing one hour talks, and some
shorter talk sessions.
Please make your proposal submissions before June 15th,
2012.
Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited
number of speaking slots are still available. The
conference is responsible for travel and accommodations
for the speakers. If you have a proposal for a tutorial
session then please make your submission by mailing a
plain text version of the information along with any
other supporting material or formats to synopsis of the
material and your biography, papers and, speaking
background to "secwest12 [at] eusecwest.com" Only slides
will be needed for the September paper deadline, full
text does not have to be submitted - but will be accepted
if available. This year we will be opening up the
presentation guidelines to include talks not in English
(particularly Dutch, Chinese, French, Russian, and
Spanish) which we will offer to translate for the speaker
if they are not a native English speaker.
The EUSecWest 2012 conference consists of tutorials on
technical details about current issues, innovative
techniques and best practices in the information security
realm. The audiences are a multi-national mix of
professionals involved on a daily basis with security
work: security product vendors, programmers, security
officers, and network administrators. We give preference
to technical details and new education for a technical
audience.
The conference itself is a single track series of
presentations in a lecture theater environment. The
presentations offer speakers the opportunity to showcase
on-going research and collaborate with peers while
educating and highlighting advancements in security
products and techniques. The focus is on innovation,
tutorials, and education instead of product pitches. Some
commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to be
backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a
valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or
detailing significant new technology in the products.
Paper proposals should consist of the following
information:
1. Presenter, and geographical location (country of
origin/passport) and contact info (e-mail, postal
address, phone, fax).
2. Employer and/or affiliations.
3. Brief biography, list of publications and papers.
4. Any significant presentation and educational
experience/background.
5. Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one
paragraph description.
6. Reason why this material is innovative or significant
or an important tutorial.
7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or
outlines ready.
8. Will you have full text available or only slides?
9. Language of preference for submission.
10. Please list any other publications or conferences
where this material has been or will be
published/submitted.
11. If there are multiple speaker applicants please

Restrictions on expenses for multiple speakers may
apply.
IMPORTANT:Please include the plain text version of this
information in your email as well as any file, pdf, sxw,
ppt, or html attachments.

eusecwest.com" to be considered for placement on the
speaker roster, or have your lightning talk scheduled. If
