(Apologies for multiple copies) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- First Call For Papers 17th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop June 28 - 30, 2004 Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CA, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy of the IEEE Computer Society This workshop series brings together researchers in computer science to examine foundational issues in computer security. We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Both papers and panel proposals are welcome. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Access control Authentication Data and system integrity Database security Network security Distributed systems security Anonymity Intrusion detection Security for mobile computing Security protocols Security models Decidability issues Privacy Executable content Formal methods for security Information flow Language-based security For background information about the workshop, and an html version of this Call for Papers, see http://www.csl.sri.com/csfw/index.html (the CSFW home page). This year the workshop will be held in Pacific Grove, CA, USA. Information about the location and the organization will be soon available on the web page. (http://www.csl.sri.com/csfw/csfw17). The proceedings are published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshop. Selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security. Instructions for Participants ----------------------------- Submission is open to anyone. Workshop attendance is limited to about 50 participants. Submitted papers 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 at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font, single column format, and reasonable margins on 8.5"x11" paper), and at most 25 pages total. Alternatively, papers can be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for various document preparation systems at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long (at most 15 pages including bibliography and appendices). The page limit will be strictly adhered to. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Proposals for panels should be no more than five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed participation. Instructions about how to submit a paper will be soon available on the web page (http://www.csl.sri.com/csfw/csfw17). If for any reason you cannot conform to those submission guidelines, please contact the program chair at focardi@dsi.unive.it. 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. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is expected to attend CSFW-17. Papers that do not adhere to this policy will be removed from the proceedings.

Asilomar, meaning "refuge by the sea", is a tranquil environment surrounded by forest and white sand beaches. As a member of the California State Park system, it offers 107 extraordinary acres of forests, dunes, and coastline situated on the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Founded in 1913 as the western conference center for the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), it is the ideal conference setting. Asilomar offers secluded guest rooms with forest or marine views. Rooms are clustered into quaint lodges, some of which feature fireplaces. Sunset walks along the beach and coastal trails are a great way to unwind. On-site recreation includes a heated swimming pool, volleyball and billiard tables. Just minutes away is Pebble Beach, featuring world-class golf courses and scenic 17-Mile Drive. And some of the most breathtaking coastline in the world can be found just 20 minutes to the south toward Big Sur along Hwy 1. Also nearby is the Monterey Bay Aquarium, featuring spectacular, deep-sea and kelp forest exhibits. Monterey Bay hosts a unique deep-sea environment close to shore. There is an underwater canyon over 2km deep at around 15km from shore. Asilomar is 2.3 hours by car from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). There are direct flights between San Francisco and most major European and American cities. The Monterey regional airport (MRY) is 10 minutes by car from Asilomar. There are direct flights to MRY from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and SFO about every 2 hours until 10pm. More travel information can be found on the CSFW17 website.
