Industrial Experience in Security at ACM CCS

I'm on the program committee for this special track on Industrial
Experience in security at the 2003 ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security. This special session in an otherwise academic
conference is an opportunity for security practitioners in industry to
tell academics how it's really done: what works, and what doesn't.
Submissions are only 3 pages long, and so should impose minimal burden
on those submitting a paper. Panel proposals are also encouraged, where
you propose a panel of experts to debate a contentious issue. Please
consider submitting a paper or a panel proposal sharing your industrial
experiences.

Papers are due June 27 (end of this week) and the conference is October
28-29 in Washington DC.

Thanks,
    Crispin

                 Call for Papers -- Industry Experience Track
      Tenth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS)
           October 28-29, 2003, Wyndham City Center, Washington, DC
                           Sponsored by ACM SIGSAC
                            www.acm.org/sigsac/ccs

This year, we introduce a new track aimed at promoting discussion on 
industry efforts to implement security measures. The main topics of 
interest  range from industry experiences delivering security services, 
applications, and systems to industry needs for new security technology. 
Also of interest is  explanation of the decisions that underlie 
technologies being actively employed in industry. Disciplines of 
interest include those typical for CCS including:

Access control                  Authentication
Accounting and Audit            Database and system security
Security for mobile code        Applied Cryptography
Data/system integrity           Smart cards and secure PDAs
Cryptographic protocols         E-business/e-commerce
Intrusion detection             Inference/controlled disclosure
Key management                  Privacy and anonymity
Security management             Intellectual property protection
Information warfare             Secure networking
Security verification           Commercial and industry security

For this track, we solicit panel and presentation proposals. The 
accepted proposals that comprise the track s program will be made 
accessible prior to the conference. The track may also include some 
invited talk speakers.

Presentation Proposals: A presentation proposal should be a position 
paper, no more than three (3) pages in length that describes the goals 
of the work and progress to date sufficiently to motivate the 
corresponding presentation.

Panel Proposals: A panel proposal should be no longer than three (3) 
pages in length, should include possible panelists, and should include 
an indication of which panelists have confirmed participation.

Paper submissions will be electronic only and web-based. Submission 
instructions will be posted in a timely manner at the web site 
www.acm.org/sigsac/ccs. Only pdf or postscript files will be accepted. 
No Microsoft Word documents please. The Industry Experience Track 
Program Committee (see below) will review and select proposals for 
presentation.
