CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
======================
9th International Conference on Security of Information and Networks (SIN 2016)
20-22 July 2016, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, www.sinconf.org

In Technical Cooperation with ACM / SIGSAC (pending).
Proceedings by ACM Press; all papers will be inserted into the ACM Digital 
Library (pending).
-------------------------
In succession to the successful SIN 2007 - SIN 2015, the 9th International 
Conference on Security of Information and Networks (SIN 2016) will provide an 
international forum for presentation of research and applications of security 
in information and networks. SIN 2016 conference features contributed as well 
as invited papers, special sessions, workshops, and tutorials on theory and 
practice. 
The next SIN Conference is scheduled to take place in Australia (2017).

PROPOSALS 
==================
Papers, special sessions, tutorials, and workshops addressing all aspects of 
security in information and networks are being sought. Researchers and 
industrial practitioners working on the following and related subjects are 
especially encouraged: development and realization of cryptographic solutions, 
security schemes, new algorithms; critical analysis of existing approaches; 
secure information systems, especially distributed control and processing 
applications, and security in networks; interoperability, service levels and 
quality issues in such systems; information assurance, security, and public 
policy; detection and prevention of cybercrimes such as fraud and phishing; 
next generation network architectures, protocols, systems and applications; 
security education curriculum; industrial experiences and challenges of the 
above. Doctoral students are encouraged to propose papers on ongoing research.
Original papers will be considered; submissions must not substantially 
duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted 
in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. All 
submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program 
committee judging its originality, significance, correctness, presentation and 
relevance. Authors are also encouraged to propose position papers on practical 
studies and experiments, critique of existing work, emerging issues, and novel 
ideas under development. 
Enterprises and research centers developing, implementing, or using security 
tools and frameworks are encouraged to propose application / tool demo. 
Proposals of half-day tutorials on fundamental to advanced subjects covering 
practical implementation aspects of security are welcome.

Proposals of special session(s) to be held in the main conference are welcome.
Proposals are invited for workshops to be held in conjunction with SIN 2016 
Conference. The workshop proposal theme should be closely related to the 
conference topics. Broad areas of interest include theory, tools, and 
applications of security for information, computer, network, and cloud but are 
not limited to, the following:  
* Access control and intrusion detection
* Security of cyber-physical systems
* Autonomous and adaptive security
* Security tools and development platforms
* Computational intelligence techniques in security
* Security ontology, models, protocols & policies
* Computer network defense
* Standards, guidelines and certification
* Cryptographic techniques and key management
* Security-aware software engineering
* Trust and privacy
* Information assurance
* Malware analysis
* Network security and protocols
* Security in Mobile/Embedded Systems
* Cloud security
* Security education and innovative curriculum

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
=======================
Papers must be submitted electronically via the SIN 2016 Submission Site at 
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIN2016/. Title, author's name(s), 
affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax and email of the principal author 
should be included. Maximum length for the proceedings is 8 pages for full 
paper, 5 pages for short paper, 2 pages for fast abstract and position 
statement, and 2 pages for demo and tutorial proposals. Extra page charges 
apply. All papers should be written according to double-column ACM conference 
format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). 
All proposals for organizing workshops, tutorials, demos, and special sessions

All accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in conference proceedings 
and placed into ACM Digital Library (pending). Extended versions of selected 
papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of an 
international journal (TBA). Book and the special issues published so far are 
listed on the Website.
