Submission Guidelines
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference in-person and will be included in the conference proceedings published in the IFIP AICT series by Springer.
All papers must be written in English. Submissions should be at most 14 pages long including references and appendices. Submissions should not be anonymised. PC members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them.
Each paper will receive at least three reviews. At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the author registration date indicated on the conference website and present the paper at the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one full registration is necessary.
After the conference, extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the Elsevier journal Computers & Security. Selected papers will undergo at least one further review round.
