ACM SIGSAC's CCS 2003 10th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security Wyndham City Center Hotel, Washington, DC, USA October 27-31, 2003 http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2003/ Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the Tenth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security. The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make convincing argument for the practical significance of the results. Theory must be justified by compelling examples illustrating its application. The primary criterion for appropriateness for CCS is demonstrated practical relevance. CCS can therefore reject perfectly good papers that are appropriate for theory-oriented conferences. Topics of Interest :: access control accounting and audit security for mobile code data/ system integrity cryptographic protocols intrusion detection key management security management information warfare security verification authentication database and system security applied cryptography smart-cards and secure PDAs e-business/ e-commerce inference/ controlled disclosure privacy and anonymity intellectual property protection secure networking commercial and industry security Paper Submissions :: Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper) . Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. A submissions should be appropriately annonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations) . Submission instructions will be posted in a timely manner at the web site cimic.rutgers.edu/ccs03. Paper submissions will be electronic only and web-based. Only PDF or postscript files will be accepted. Submission size should ideally be less than 1MB and no more than 2MB. Authors who have difficulty with the 2MB size limit should inform the program chair by email to ccs03@cimic.rutgers.edu. Please do not submit MS Word documents. Papers must be received by the deadline of May 9,2003. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published by the ACM in a conference proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Information and System Security. Tutorial Submissions :: Proposals for 90 minute tutorials on research topics of current and emerging interest should be submitted electronically to sandhu@gmu.edu by May 9, 2003. Tutorial proposals must clearly identify the intended audience and any prerequisite knowledge for attendees. Proposals must be no more than three pages, and must include enough material to provide a sense of the scope and depth of coverage, as well as a brief biography of the speaker(s). Tutorial presenters will receive a small honorarium.
