CYBER SECURITY & PRIVACY EU FORUM 2012

(CSP EU FORUM) 24th - 25th April, Berlin, Germany

Call for Cluster Workshops

CSP EU Forum 2012 will host some focused cluster group workshops during the second day of the event. This will provide an excellent opportunity for leading members of industrial and research communities to interact and view latest developments in on-going research projects.

The typical purpose of such a cluster group workshops is to cover a specific aspect of security and privacy in more detail, making it easy for the participants to attend CSP EU Forum 2012 and a specialised workshop at CSP EU Forum 2012 with just one trip. Furthermore, the co-location offers synergies for the organisers.

We invite contributions from the Cross Topical Clusters, including the “Systems & Network Groups”, “Services & Cloud Groups”, and Special Interest Groups (policy & monitoring)  within the  security research sectors that will demonstrate innovative technologies, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, industrial case studies or researched works. Workshops will be selected by the organising committee based on submissions.

Important dates

  • Workshop proposal submissions due: 9th December 2011,  Please email:  submissions@cspforum.eu - NOW CLOSED
  • Acceptance decision: 19th December 2011

Workshop Proposals (Format)

There will be some interaction in deciding upon and setting up a workshop, but the initial proposal should already contain as much as possible of the following information:

  • Contact information of the workshop organizer.
  • Expected length of the workshop.
  • Technical proposal (1 page minimum): Topics to be addressed; importance of these topics; preliminary call for papers/posters/contributions; preliminary program committee; proposed review process.
  • Expected number of participants and other local meeting issues, such as the special requirements/equipment for the meeting room.
  • Biographies of workshop organizer(s), including workshop organization experience.

View "Submissions" page to download appropriate proposal template.    Please submit all proposals via email to: submissions@cspforum.eu
