Call for Papers

Workshop on Ethics in Computer Security Research
January 28-29, 2010
Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~spock/wecsr2010/

Computer security often leads to discovering interesting new problems and 
challenges. The challenge still remains to follow a path acceptable for 
Institutional Review Boards at academic institutions, as well as compatible 
with ethical guidelines for professional societies or government institutions. 
However, no exact guidelines exist for computer security research yet. This 
workshop will bring together computer security researchers, practitioners, 
policy makers, and legal experts.

This workshop solicits submissions describing or suggesting ethical and 
responsible conduct in computer security research. While we focus on setting 
standards and sharing prior experiences and experiments in computer security 
research, successful or not, we tap into research behavior in network security, 
computer security, applied cryptography, privacy, anonymity, and security 
economics.

This workshop will favor discussions among participants, in order to shape the 
future of ethical standards in the field. It will be co-located with the 
Fourteenth International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security 
2010.

Submissions

We solicit submissions in three categories.

1. Position papers. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers 
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or 
conference with proceedings. Position paper submission should not exceed 6 
pages in length, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices.

2. Case studies. Submitted case studies must not substantially overlap with 
papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a 
journal or conference with proceedings. Submitted case studies should not 
exceed 12 pages in length, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices.

3. Panel proposals. Submitted panel proposals should list the panel topic, a 
moderator, and a list of confirmed panelists, along with a short biography of 
the participants. The composition should be adequately selected as to generate 
copious discussion. Panelists will be given an opportunity to submit a position 
statement for the final proceedings.

The proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS series. More information 
on how to submit your work via the EasyChair system
can be found at http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~spock/wecsr2010/cfp.html
