CALL FOR PAPERS
ASIAN'07
12th Annual Asian Computing Science Conference
Focusing on Computer and Network Security
December 9-11, 2007
Carnegie Mellon University
Doha, Qatar
http://www.qatar.cmu.edu/asian07
The ASIAN conference series provides a forum for researchers throughout Asia
to present cutting-edge results in yearly-themed areas of Computer Science, to
discuss advances in these fields, and to interact with researchers from other
continents. The 2007 edition focuses on computer and network security.
Networked computer systems stand at the core of today's information society:
by providing fast access to huge quantities of information, they enable higher
productivity at a much higher convenience than ever in the past. They also
provide a substantial opportunity for abuse. The closely related areas of
Network and Computer Security are concerned with mitigating this risk and
preventing disruption, fraud, disclosure, etc. The former tends to concentrate
on the infrastructure, while the latter deals with everything else. In recent
years, they have made enormous progress both in our theoretical understanding
of what security is and in the development of practical protection
mechanisms. Yet, they are engaged in a continuing arms race with an
underground army of ever more sophisticated attackers intent to bypass
whatever shield protects a system. This makes network and computer security
one of the most active fields in today's scientific landscape.
New results in the fields of computer and network security are welcome. Also
welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions
and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Access control * Data and system integrity
* Database security * Distributed systems security
* Privacy and Anonymity * Security for mobile computing
* Cryptographic protocols * Wireless network security
* Trust and trust management * Denial-of-service and prevention
* Authentication * Intrusion detection and avoidance
* Digital rights management * Digital forensics
* Executable content * Vulnerabilities and risk management
* Language-based security * Secure electronic commerce
* Formal methods for security * Secure software engineering
Invited Speakers
----------------
It has been a tradition of ASIAN to invite three of the most influential
researchers in the focus area, one from Asia, one from Europe and one from the
Americas, to discuss their work and their vision for the field. We are honored
that the following members of the community have accepted this invitation.
* Joshua Guttman, MITRE (USA)
* Andrei Sabelfeld, Chalmers University (Sweden)
* Kazuhiko Kato, University of Tsukuba (Japan)
Submission Instructions
-----------------------
Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or
that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or Portable Document
Format (PDF); papers submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as
Microsoft Word cannot be considered. Submissions can be of two types:
* Regular papers are meant to describe solid new research results. They
can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS style, including figures, bibliography
and appendices.
* Short papers are intended to report on interesting work in progress. They
can be at most 7 pages long in the LNCS style.
Papers can be electronically submitted by visiting
http://www.easychair.org/ASIAN07/. Prospective authors are required to
register a title and an abstract a week before the paper submission deadline
(see below).
As with the previous editions, the proceedings of ASIAN'07 will be published
in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. They will be
available at the conference.
Participation
-------------
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one will be
present at the symposium. Papers that do not adhere to this policy will be
removed from the proceedings.
Important Dates
---------------
Abstract submission deadline: July 27, 2007
Paper submission deadline: August 3, 2007
Notification of acceptance: September 7, 2007
Camera-ready papers: September 28, 2007
ASIAN 2007: December 9-11, 2007
