Technical Track Paper Submissions (contact Program Chair)

* Michael Franz, University of California, Irvine (Program Chair)
* John McDermott, Naval Research Lab (Program Co-Chair)

We solicit papers offering novel contributions in any aspect of computer and application security. Papers should present technique or applications with practical experience. Papers are encouraged on technologies and methods that have been demonstrated to be useful for improving information systems security and that address lessons from actual application.

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 15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices and formatted as a single column, using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper. (This format enhances readability for the reviewers. Accepted papers will be reformatted according to IEEE instructions.) Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made using the OpenConf system on this site. Only pdf or postscript files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline above. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.

Panels (contact Panels Chair)

* Hongxia Jin, IBM (Panels Chair)

Panels are encouraged on the topics listed above. Panels may frame a debate on a controversial question or summarize interesting results, but they must encourage audience participation. A typical submission will include a proposed moderator, panel members (usually 3-5) and an abstract of the proposed topic.

Case Studies in Applied Security (contact Case Studies Chair)

* Steven Rome, Booz Allen Hamilton (Case Studies Chair)

The Case Studies in Applied Security Track is a critical part of the technical conference. It is an opportunity for professionals to share information that is current without writing a detailed technical paper, but enables attendees to learn about the next generation of products and solutions. It is open to anyone in the community such as vendors, network providers, systems integrators, government civil/federal/military programs or users across the spectrum of computer security applications. Potentially this is where attendees can learn about client needs and vendors solutions. This year we are especially interested in automated solutions based on existing knowledge. While the Case Studies will not be included in the Proceedings, the presentations will be posted to the ACSAC site following the conference.

More info

Posters (Contact Poster Chair)

* Benjamin Kuperman, Oberlin College (Posters Chair)

The poster session provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their new and innovative preliminary work in an informal, interactive setting. Conference attendees can learn about novel on-going research projects that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting. Poster presenters will have an opportunity to discuss their work and get invaluable feedback from knowledgeable sources at an early stage of their research.

More info

Tutorials (contact Tutorials Chair)

* Daniel Faigin, The Aerospace Corporation, USA. (Tutorials Chair)

Tutorials are full (6 hour) or half (3 hour) day classes on how to apply or use a particular technology to address a security need. A typical tutorial submission includes an abstract of the tutorial, a brief (1-2 page) outline, an instructor bio, an indication of length, and notes on prerequisites and textbooks. Tutorial instructors receive an honorarium and expenses. If you would like to indicate a topic you would like to see, you may do that as well; please suggest an instructor if you can. Send your submissions to... [tutorials_chair].

More info

Workshop (Contact Workshops Chair)

* Harvey Rubinovitz, The MITRE Corporation (Workshop Chair)

ACSAC workshops are on up to date topics that attendees usually rate to provide a useful and exciting forum for information technology professionals (e.g., standards developers, software developers, security engineers, security officers) to exchange ideas, concerns, and opinions.

More info

Works In Progress (Contact WIP Chair)

* Charlie Payne, Adventium Labs (WiP Chair)

The Works In Progress (WIP) session packs as many 5 minute presentations as it can into one fast paced and popular session. These talks highlight the most current work in both business and academia, emphasizing goals and value added, accomplishments to date, and future plans. Special consideration is given to topics that discuss real life security experience, including system implementation, deployment, and lessons learned.

Exhibitors & Sponsors

Again this year we will offer attendees access to exhibits and displays of products and services related to the conference topics. For information on exhibiting at this year's conference contact exhibit@acsac.org.

Conferenceship Program

ACSAC offers a conferenceship program to enable students to attend the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference. This program will pay for the conference and tutorial expenses, including travel, for selected students. Additional information about this program is available on the Student Awards page.

Future Updates:

To be added to the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference Mailing List, click here.

ACSAC does not accept "speaking proposals" per se, however; you are encouraged to submit suggestions in the form of a one paragraph description of a topic and a biography of the proposed presenter. Depending on a proposal's technical content, it may be acceptable as a case study. If a full paper is available, it may be acceptable as a technical paper. If a presentation by a group of related speakers is contemplated, a proposal for this session may be acceptable as a panel or forum. If a proposal for a half day or full day seminar is appropriate, it may be acceptable as a tutorial. If a one or two page technical writeup is available that describes work that is not yet completed, it may be acceptable as a poster. Finally, if your have an interest in a full day interactive dialogue, exchanging ideas, opinions and concerns between multiple presenters and attendees, consider being a workshop presenter.

About the Sponsor

Applied Computer Security Associates (ACSA) had its genesis in the first Aerospace Computer Security Applications Conference in 1985. That conference was a success and evolved into the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC). Several years ago the word "Aerospace" was dropped from the name to promote a wider range of government and commercial applications. ACSA was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit association of computer security professionals who have a common goal of improving the understanding, theory, and practice of computer security. ACSA continues to be the primary sponsor of the annual conference.

In 1989, ACSA began the Distinguished Lecture Series at the annual conference. Each year, an outstanding computer security professional is invited to present a lecture of current topical interest to the security community. In 1991, ACSA began a Best-Paper by a Student Award, presented at the Annual conference. This award is intended to encourage active student participation in the annual conference. The award winning student author receives an honorarium and all expenses to the conference.

ACSA continues to be committed to serving the security community by finding additional approaches for encouraging and facilitating dialogue and technical interchange. ACSA is always interested in suggestions from interested professionals and computer security professional organizations on how to achieve these goals.
