Call for Proposals (preliminary)

[PDF]
Industry Track Submission Deadline: July 15, 2007  August 3, 2007
 

The Industry and Government Track of the 14th ACM Computer and Communications Conference seeks novel and innovative reports of experiences in security product development and deployment of products to meet system security goals. In addition, reports on the scope and content of current sponsored research programs in information security are of interest.

The track will foster active discussion of practical experiences in the imaginative or large scale deployment of security solutions in organizational contexts and the relationship of these experiences to current research initiatives. Particularly of interest are lessons learned and deficiencies in existing products or systems that might identify areas in which research is needed. Government or commercial requirements for future systems are also relevant. Technical characteristics of novel products may be of interest, but marketing pitches are verboten! As one of the most influential conferences in the area, CCS affords industry and government the opportunity to gain the attention of a capable and energetic set of researchers.



Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Authentication
Case studies of computer and systems security design
Database and system security
Embedded systems security
Intrusion detection
Physical security
Security issues in administration of large computer systems

Access control
Commercial and industry security
DoS detection and mitigation
Enterprise security policies
Intellectual-property protection
Privacy and anonymity
Security management
 
Accounting and auditing
Cryptographic protocols
Digital rights management
Experimental studies of impact of tools and processes
Key management
Secure networking
Security measurement and modeling

Applied cryptography
Data/system integrity
e-business/e-commerce
Information warfare
Mobile code security
Security verification
Smart cards and secure PDAs

For this track, we are soliciting panel and presentation proposals. Proposals accepted for the program will be made accessible prior to the conference. The track may include invited speakers as space and interest permit. Submission format and other instructions are available soon.

Presentation Proposals
