FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
NEW SECURITY PARADIGMS '97
A workshop sponsored by ACM and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Langdale Hotel, Great Langdale, Cumbria, UK
23 - 26 September 1997
Paradigm shifts disrupt the status quo, destroy outdated ideas, and open the way to new possibilities. This workshop explores deficiencies of current computer security paradigms and examines radical new models which address those deficiencies. Previous years' workshops have identified problematic aspects of traditional security paradigms and explored a variety of possible alternatives. Participants have discussed alternative models for access control, intrusion detection; new definitions of security, privacy, secrecy and trust; biological and economic models of security; multiple policies; and a wide variety of other topics. The 1997 workshop will strike a balance between building on the foundations laid in past years and exploring new directions.
We offer a creative and constructive workshop environment for about 25 participants at the Langdale Hotel in the English Lake District.
Because of the workshop format, the organizers urge submitters to arrange to be present for all three days of the conference; authors' ability to attend for the duration of the workshop will be considered when evaluating submissions for acceptance.
Dress is casual. The tone of the workshop is exploratory rather than critical. The refereed papers will be printed in a workshop proceedings.
To participate, please submit the following, preferably via e-mail, to both Program Chairs (Mary Ellen Zurko and Catherine Meadows) by 4 April 1997:
Papers may be submitted in hardcopy. To submit hardcopy, please mail five (5) copies to Program co-chair Mary Ellen Zurko; please allow adequate time for delivery; the hardcopy deadline is 28 March 1997.
The Program Committee will referee the papers and notify authors of acceptance status by 13 June 1997.
We expect a limited number of scholarships to be available.
More information will be provided on-line as it becomes available.
