Call for Workshops

Workshops

Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACM CCS 2013. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of security research.

A workshop associated with CCS must be one full day in length. Proceedings of all such workshops will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees. Each workshop will also have on-line proceedings through ACM Digital Library, with a separate ISBN. Submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop chair by February 22, 2013.

Workshop Proposal Submission

For new workshops, proposals should include:

• Workshop title
• A draft “Call for Papers” articulating the scope and topics covered by the workshop
• A brief summary and justification for the workshop, including anticipated benefits to the ACM CCS community.
• Proposed format and agenda
• Expected number of submissions and acceptance rate
• Expected number of attendees
• Program chair(s), and, if available, tentative program committee
• A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop organizing experience

For previously-held workshops, in addition to the above, proposals must provide the following information, for the most recent incarnation of the workshop:

• Number of submissions
• Number of accepted papers
• Number of registered attendees

Please submit workshop proposals by email to the ACM CCS Workshop Chairs,
ccs-workshops@trust.cased.de.
All workshop proposals will be reviewed by the CCS Steering Committee.

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

• The workshop is within the scope of computer and communications security and concerns a coherent and important technical topic of high interest in the community.
• Its novelty with respect to other forums, especially with respect to other CCS workshops.
• Its likely impact on the target community, including likely high participation.
• One of the best ways to show likely interest is to have a strong set of researchers who have agreed to serve on the PC.

Workshop Chairs

• Stefan Katzenbeisser (TU Darmstadt | CASED, DE)
• Christopher Kruegel (UC Santa Barbara, US)
