CALL FOR PAPERS - EUROSEC WORKSHOP


EuroSec (http://www.cs.vu.nl/eurosec08/) is a new workshop associated
with the Annual ACM SIGOPS EuroSys conference. The workshop aims to
bring together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system
programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the
security of computer systems and networks. The focus of the workshop is
on novel, practical, systems-oriented work.
EuroSec will be held on the 31st of March, 2008, in Glasgow, Scotland.

Topics of Interest

EuroSec seeks contributions on all aspects of systems security. Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
     * new attacks, evasion techniques, and defenses
     * operating system security
     * hardware architectures
     * "trusted computing" and its applications
     * identity management, anonymity
     * small trusted computing bases
     * mobile systems security
     * measuring security
     * malicious code analysis and detection
     * web security
     * systems-based forensics
     * systems work on fighting spam/phishing

In accordance with the spirit of the EuroSys conference we also seek
     * Experience with existing systems
     * Reproduction or refutation of  previous results
     * Negative results
     * Early ideas

You are hereby invited to submit papers of 6-8 single-spaced pages
(including figures, tables and references). Font size should be 10pt.

The format of submitted papers should correspond to our Latex style
file, which can be found on the Workshop web page
(http://www.cs.vu.nl/eurosec08/). Submission details will be available
soon at the same URL.

EuroSec explicitly encourages members of the systems community
to explore leading-edge topics and ideas before they are presented at
a major conference. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program
Committee. Only papers with original, novel work and results will be
considered for publication. Accepted papers will be published in the
proceedings of EuroSec in the ACM Digital Library
