Call For Papers:


The 3rd Information Security Practice and Experience Conference (ISPEC 2007)
============================================================================
http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~ispec2007

7 - 9 May 2007, Hong Kong, China


==Overview==

As applications of information security technologies become pervasive,
issues pertaining to their deployment and operation are becoming increasingly
important. ISPEC is an annual conference that brings together researchers
and practitioners to provide a confluence of new information security
technologies, their applications and their integration with IT systems in
various vertical sectors. In 2005 and 2006, the first and second conferences
were successfully held in Singapore and Hangzhou, China, respectively.
The conference proceedings were published by Springer as Lecture Notes in
Computer Science. This third conference ISPEC 2007 will be held in Hong Kong,
China, May 7 - 9, 2007. Again, we plan to publish the conference proceedings
in a volume of Springer LNCS.


==Topics==

Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research results
related to information security technologies and applications. All submissions
must describe original research that is not published or currently under
review by another conference or journal. 

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 

	Applications of cryptography 
	Critical infrastructure protection 
	Digital rights management 
	Economic incentives for deployment of information security systems 
	Information security in vertical applications 
	Legal and regulatory issues 
	Privacy and anonymity 
	Risk evaluation and security certification 
	Resilience and availability 
	Secure system architectures 
	Security policy 
	Security standards activities 
	Trust model and management 
	Usability aspects of information security systems 


==Submission Instructions==

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another
conference or journal for consideration of publication. Papers must be
written in English and be fully anonymous with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements or obvious references. They should be at most 12 pages
(excluding bibliography and appendices), using at least 11-point fonts and
with reasonable margins. Papers must be formatted according to the LNCS rules.
Papers should be sufficiently intelligible and self-contained without
appendices so that PC members can review papers without them. Submissions not
meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of
their merits.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that at least one of the authors
will register and attend the conference and present their paper. We plan to
publish the conference proceedings in a volume of Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes
in Computer Science).

Please refer to related instructions to be available at ISPEC 2007 website
for the submission details.
