Call For Papers
New Security Paradigms Workshop 2001
An ACM/SIGSAC sponsored workshop
11 - 13 September 2001
Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA
http://www.nspw.org
========================================================================
2001 is the tenth anniversary of the New Security Paradigms Workshop
(NSPW), which has provided a productive and highly interactive forum
for innovative new approaches to computer security. The workshop
offers a constructive environment where experienced researchers and
practitioners work alongside newer participants in the field. The
result is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas. NSPW 2001 will take
place September 11 - 13, 2001 at the Cloudcroft Lodge, Cloudcroft, New
Mexico, 20 miles from Alamogordo/White Sands.
In order to preserve the small, focused nature of the workshop,
participation is limited to authors of accepted papers and conference
organizers. Because we expect new paradigms we accept wide-ranging
topics in information security. Any paper that presents a significant
shift in thinking about difficult security issues or builds on a
previous shift is welcomed.
NSPW is highly interactive in nature. Authors are encouraged to
present ideas that might be considered risky in some other forum. All
participants are charged with providing feedback in a constructive
manner. The resulting brainstorming environment has proven to be an
excellent medium for furthering the development of these ideas. Many
authors have mentioned that they received more useful feedback and
ideas than from any other conference. The proceedings, published after
the workshop, have consistently benefited from the inclusion of
workshop feedback.
What makes a paper acceptable for NSPW? While we reject plenty of
excellent papers that would do very well at other venues, our eclectic
program committee particularly looks for new paradigms, innovative
approaches to older problems, early thinking on new topics that are
not necessarily fully polished, and controversial issues that might
not make it into other conferences but deserve to have their try at
shaking and breaking the mold. Conversely, a great paper that does not
have a new paradigm, does not challenge the status quo, or does not
critique an older paradigm will almost certainly get rejected.
To participate, please submit your paper, justification, and
attendance statement, preferably via e-mail, to both Program Chairs --
Brenda Timmerman <btimmer@ecs.csun.edu> and Darrell Kienzle
<DKienzle@NAI.com> -- by Friday, March 30, 2001 (hardcopy submissions
must be received by Friday, March 23, 2001). Further details on the
required format of submissions follow.
1 - Your Paper
You should submit either a research paper, a 5 - 10 page position
paper, or a discussion topic proposal. Submissions of any type must
not have been published elsewhere. Discussion topic proposals should
include an in-depth description of the topic to be discussed, a
convincing argument that the topic will lead to a lively discussion,
and any other supporting materials.
Softcopy submissions should be in Postscript, PDF, Word/RTF or ASCII
format. Papers may be submitted as hardcopy. To submit hardcopy,
please mail 5 (five) copies to Program Co-chair Brenda Timmerman.
Please allow adequate time for delivery.
2 - Justification
You should describe, in one page or less, why your paper is
appropriate for the New Security Paradigms Workshop. A good
justification will describe the new paradigm being proposed, explain
how it is a departure from existing theory or practice, and identify
those aspects of the status quo it challenges or rejects.
3 - Attendance Statement
You should state how many authors wish to attend the workshop.
Accepted papers require the attendance of at least one author. In
order to ensure that all papers receive equally strong feedback, all
attendees are expected to stay for the entire duration of the
workshop.
The program committee will referee the papers and notify the authors
of acceptance status by June 8, 2000. We expect to be able to offer a
limited amount of financial aid to those who require it. More
information will be provided on our web site <http://www.nspw.org> as
it becomes available.
