FPS 2012, CALL FOR PAPERS

5th International Symposium on

FOUNDATIONS & PRACTICE OF SECURITY,

(proceedings by Springer Verlag LNCS series)

http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/fps2012/

Montreal, QC, Canada, October 25-26, 2012

*** DEADLINE EXTENDED: July 20, 2012 (11:59PM Samoa time, FIRM) ***

Scope: Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an

increasingly inter-connected world has become vital to the normal

functioning of all aspects of our world. Security has emerged as an

important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities

deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer

science and engineering communities.

After the previous meetings held in Montreal, Grenoble, Toronto and

Paris, this fifth edition of the FPS symposium will be held at ETS

(Ecole de Technologie Superieure), in Montreal (QC, Canada), the 25th

and 26th of October of 2012.

The aim of this event is to discuss and exchange theoretical and

practical ideas that address security issues in inter-connected

systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to

establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research

programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this

important and fast moving research field.

Topics: we invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in

security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to

submit their original papers. The main topics, but not limited to,

include:

* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis

* Security in Service Oriented Architectures

* Security in Web Services

* Security Administration

* Policy-based Security Architectures

* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware

* Access Control Languages

* Trust Management

* Game Theory

* Risk Assessment and Assurance

* Threat Analysis

* Distributed Security Protocols

* Security of Grid Computing

* Malware & Botnet Detection

* Protocol Verification

* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management

* Data Mining

* Security of Cloud Computing

* Watermarking

* Side Channel Attacks

* Monitoring and Auditing

* Privacy in Social Networks

* Information Theoretic Security

* Information Flow

* Security in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications

* Security in Sensor Networks and RFIDs

Submission Guidelines: Full papers should be at most 16 pages (using

11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.

Position papers, as well as extended abstract and contributed talks,

should be up to 8 pages (using 11-point font). Committee members are

not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be

intelligible without them.

All submissions must be written in English. Authors must submit their

papers by the deadline indicated below, using the EasyChair web site

(using the link http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2012)

and following the requirements stated there. All papers will be

refereed. The submitted contribution should be formatted according to

Springer's LNCS style. Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys

and controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or

not) are also encouraged.

Publication: Proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in

Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one author of each accepted

paper must register to the symposium, by the early date indicated by

the organizers, and present the paper.
