Sixth Annual IEEE/APWG eCrime Researchers Summit

Call for Papers

Papers are now being accepted for the sixth annual IEEE/APWG eCrime
Researchers Summit to be held November 7-9, 2011 in San Diego, CA. This
year’s event, which will bring together academic researchers, security
practitioners and law enforcement to discuss all aspects of electronic
crime and ways to combat it, will be hosted in the Embassy Suites, San
Diego Bay.

Topics of interests will include these and many others; phishing,
rogue-AV, pharming, click-fraud, crimeware, extortion and emerging
attacks, technical, legal, political, social and psychological aspects
of fraud and fraud prevention, malware, botnets, ecriminal/phishing
gangs and collaboration, or money laundering, techniques to assess the
risks and yields of attacks and the success rates of countermeasures.

Submissions should be in English, in PDF format with all fonts embedded
and formatted using the IEEE conference template, found here:
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_journals.html.
Submissions are due on 21 July 2011.

Submissions should include author names, affiliations and
acknowledgments. They should not exceed 12 letter-sized pages, not
counting the bibliography and appendices. Papers should begin with a
title, abstract, and an introduction that clearly summarizes the
contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist
reader. Papers should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas,
techniques, and results, including motivation, relevance to practical
applications, and a clear comparison with related work. Committee
members are not required to read appendices, and papers should be
intelligible without them. Submitted papers risk being rejected without
consideration of their merits if they do not follow all the above
guidelines. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that was
published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted in
parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.

Accepted papers will be published in proceedings. In addition, cash
awards will be given for the best paper overall and the best student
co-authored paper. A limited number of cash travel awards will also be
made to student authors of papers and posters.

We also seek poster abstracts describing recent or ongoing research or
experience in all areas related to the prevention of electronic crime.
Submission of late breaking results and work in progress is especially
encouraged. Posters will not be published, and thus may substantially
overlap published papers or papers simultaneously submitted to a
conference or journal. Submissions should follow the same formatting
instructions as refereed papers, but should be at most two pages and
need not be blinded or include abstracts, keywords, copyright boxes, etc.
