Call For Papers
13th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop
July 3-5, 2000
Cambridge, England
Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy
of the IEEE Computer Society
This workshop series brings together researchers in computer science to
examine foundational issues in computer security. For background information
about the workshop, see the CSFW home page. This year the workshop will be
in Cambridge, UK.
We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and
also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise
fundamental concerns about existing theories. Both papers and panel
proposals are welcome.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
---------------
access control authentication data and system integrity
database security network security distributed systems security
anonymity privacy security for mobile computing
security protocols security models formal methods for security
information flow executable content
The proceedings are published by the IEEE Computer Society and will be
available at the workshop. Selected papers will be invited for submission to
the Journal of Computer Security.
Instructions for Participants
Submission is open to anyone. Workshop attendance is limited to about 40
participants. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that
have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with a proceedings. Papers should be at most 20 pages excluding
the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font, single
column format, and reasonable margins on 8.5"x11" paper), and at most 25
pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and
so the paper should be intelligible without them. Proposals for panels
should be no longer than five pages in length and should include possible
panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed
participation.
To submit a paper, send to syverson@itd.nrl.navy.mil a plain ASCII
text email containing the title and abstract of your paper, the
authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and
identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your
submission (as a MIME attachment) in PDF or portable postscript
format. Do not send files formatted for word processing packages
(e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Submissions received
after the submission deadline or failing to conform to the guidelines
above risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Where
possible all further communications to authors will be via email. If
for some reason you cannot conform to these submission guidelines,
please contact the program chair at syverson@itd.nrl.navy.mil.

Workshop Location
------------------
The workshop will be held at the University of Cambridge, UK. Cambridge is a
world-renowned collegiate university about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north
of London. Both the city and the university are small by modern standards;
about 130 000 people live in Cambridge and the university has about 9000
undergraduate and 6000 postgraduate students. Some name dropping: a
remarkable number of eminent people have worked at Cambridge, including
Isaac Newton, Charles Babbage, James Clerk Maxwell, Ernest Rutherford, J. J.
Thompson, James Watson and Francis Crick, J. M. Keynes and Stephen Hawking.
Sixty-four people working at Cambridge have won Nobel prizes.
The Cambridge colleges offer mediaeval architecture and a quiet,
contemplative environment. Kings College is particularly notable. The
accommodation and meals for the workshop will be in Pembroke College,
founded in 1347. Accommodation will be in student rooms in a modern college
block, just two years old. Meals will be in the Old Library, which was the
College chapel before Christopher Wren designed the existing chapel,
finished in 1665. The workshop meetings will be in the modern presentation
room of Microsoft Research Limited, a five minute walk from the college.
The countryside north of Cambridge is mostly the fens (swamps that were
drained about 1750). In the fens, cities and towns are invariably on the top
of occasional small hills to keep the feet of their inhabitants dry. One
city, called the Isle of Ely, includes the historic, enormous and elegant
Ely Cathedral, started in 1108 on the remains of an earlier Christian
shrine. Nearby is the town of Newmarket, the centre of the horseracing
industry in the UK.
There is excellent train service to Cambridge from London's Kings Cross. The
schedule is available on the web. Coaches operate frequently from London and
from the airports.
