11th International Symposium on Foundations & Practice of Security

The eleventh edition of FPS will be hosted by Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, on November 13, 14 and 15 2018. We invite researchers and practitioners from all countries working in security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to participate in the event.

Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an increasingly inter-connected world has become vital to the normal functioning of all aspects of our world. Security has emerged as an important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer science and engineering communities.

The aim of FPS is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical ideas that address security issues in inter-connected systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this important and fast moving research field.

We also invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to submit their original papers. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

- Access Control Languages
