Papers offering research contributions in any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the Sixth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security. Papers may present theoretical results, techniques/protocols, applications, or practical experience on a wide rage of topics, e.g.:

Submitting papers: submitted material must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with a proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding bibliographies and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on 8.5'x11' or A4 paper), and at most 20 pages total. Since reviewers are not required to read the appendices papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized, i.e., no author names or affiliations, no obvious citations (where possible) and no web pointers!

Submission Procedure:

1.

Email to ccs99@isi.edu in plain ASCII: paper title, abstract, authors and contact information.

2.

In addition, submit your paper using ONE of the following two methods:

• Electronic submission (preferred): Instructions for submitting postscript papers by e-mail are available from http://www.isi.edu/ccs99/esub.html. Early electronic submission is strongly recommended. Allow at least five (5) days ahead of the due date to allow for test-printing of the paper and, in case of problems, leaving sufficient time to re-submit in hardcopy. Organizers are not responsible for unprintable papers!
• Hardcopy submission: Send eight (8) copies of your paper to the program chair at the address below along with a cover letter and a listing (on a separate page) of authors' names, email/postal addresses, phone/fax numbers, and identifying the contact author.

Submitting Panel and Tutorial Proposals: this conference will include panel and tutorial sessions addressing topics of interest to the computer security community. Proposals should be no longer than five (5) pages in length and, for panels, should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed participation. Proposals can be e-mailed or sent in hardcopy to the program chair at the address below along with a cover letter indicating that the proposal is for the 6th ACM CCCS, and listing the proposers' names, email/postal addresses as well as phone/fax numbers.
