CYBER SECURITY & PRIVACY EU FORUM 2012

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

Call for Tutorials

CSP EU Forum 2012 will host a series of high quality Tutorials during the 1st 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.

CSP  EU Forum 2012 is seeking original high quality Tutorial proposals on focused discussions addressing innovative research highlighting significant topics and emerging issues which are related to the conference theme and with desired expertise.

The typical purpose of  the Tutorials is to cover  specific research in relation to security and privacy in more detail.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in terms of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies.

We invite contributions from security research sectors that will demonstrate innovative technologies, or researched works.  Tutorials  will be selected by the organising committee based on submissions.

Each Tutorial is expected to last two hours within the main CSP EU Forum 2012.

Proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair by 9th December 2011.  Please  email : submissions@cspforum.eu

Important dates

  •     Workshop proposal submissions due: 9th December 2011 - NOW CLOSED
  •     Acceptance decision: 19th December 2011

  •     Description (aims, target audience)
  •     Outline of the tutorial  session content and schedule
