Call for Papers
===============

Overview
--------
To build on the success of ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) and ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC), the ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and Control (SIGSAC) formally established the annual ACM Symposium on InformAtion, Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). The inaugural ASIACCS was held in Taipei (2006). Since then the ASIACCS have been held in Singapore (2007), Tokyo (2008), Sydney (2009) and Beijing (2010). ASIACCS 2011 is the sixth conference of the series.

ASIACCS is a major international forum for information security researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore and exchange the newest cyber security ideas, breakthroughs, findings, techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and network security.

------
Areas of interest for ASIACCS 2011 include, but are not limited to:
- anonymity
- inference/controlled disclosure
- cryptographic protocols
- access control
- intellectual-property protection
- data/system integrity
- secure networking
- digital-rights management
- information warfare
- accounting and audit
- trusted computing
- formal methods for security
- key management
- phishing and countermeasures
- identity management
- intrusion detection
- commercial and industry security
- security in ubiquitous computing, e.g., RFIDs
- authentication
- security management
- smartcards
- web security
- security and privacy for emerging technologies, e.g., VoIP, peer-to-peer and overlay network systems, Web 2.0
- data and application security
- applied cryptography
- malware and botnets
- mobile-computing security
- privacy-enhancing technology
- software security


Instructions for Authors
------------------------
Submissions must be at most ten pages in double-column ACM format (note: pages must be numbered), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices and at most 12 pages overall. Committee members are not required to read appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be anonymized (an author's name should only occur in references to that author's related work, which should be referenced in the third person and not overtly distinguishable from the referenced work of others). Only PDF or Postscript files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

All papers should be submitted through the website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asiaccs2011

Papers must be written in English. We require that the authors use the ACM format for papers, using one of the ACM SIG Proceeding Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).

Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in conference proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library, which is indexed by EI. Final proceedings versions will be 10 pages in double-column ACM format; although authors will have the option of buying a limited number of additional pages. In addition to regular papers, some short papers could also be accepted and included in the proceedings.
