[Full-disclosure] Troopers 09 Security Conference, Call for Papers

[Enno Rey <erey@xxxxxxx>]

We'll do it again ;-)
Last year _everybody_ involved in the event (speakers and attendees) enjoyed 
themselves and could significantly gain knowledge (and/or network with other 
researchers). There were keynotes by Dan Bernstein and Chris Hoff, a number of 
great talks ... and we had a fabulous speakers dinner in a medieval place in 
Munich. For anybody interested in the inaugural event see www.troopers08.org.

This year's Troopers edition will be held in Munich again (on 04/22 and 04/23) 
and will only be one track, as we cooperate with another industry style event 
(mainly to avoid the heavy workload of organizing a con which keeps us away 
from the technical stuff we prefer to do in our lives ;-)


Our call for papers addresses security researchers interested in sharing their 
knowledge with other researchers and a high level audience. We would like to 
invite everyone with special knowledge in breaking security in whatever area or 
practical experience in securing complex information systems to present their 
skills.


Speaker Privileges
==================

We will cover the flight costs (limited to EUR 500 for speakers from Europe and 
US$ 1500 for speakers from other continents) and two nights of accomodation. 



"Fresh Headz"
=============

Given an appropriate subject and technical level we're happy to welcome "fresh 
speakers" (not seen in various places before) and we're happy to help you with 
setting up your talk (or getting over your pre-talk excitement).



Submissions
===========

We are mainly interested in talks on

Virtualization Stuff
Embedded Devices
Industrial Networking
Security in Carrier Environments
Secure Coding

Obviously heavy vendor-pitching will not be welcomed warmly and we reserve the 
right to ask for modifications of confirmed talks if we have the impression 
there's too much of that in a talk. If you have to offer another "Web 2.0 cross 
browser unicode overflow" talk you may submit it. However chances will be 
bigger if you have some more innovative stuff to talk about...



CFP submissions [to erey@xxxxxxx] must include the following information: 

1) Brief biography including list of publications and papers published 
previously. 

2) Proposed presentation title & synopsis/description.

3) Contact Information (full name, alias, handler, e-mail, postal address, 
phone, country of origin, special meal requirement, smoking habits ;-).

4) Employment and/or affiliations information. 
 
5) Why is your material different or innovative or significant?

Please note that all speakers will be allocated 45 minutes of presentation time 
+ 5 minutes Q+A. Any speakers that require more time must inform the CFP 
committee in the course of the submission.

By agreeing to speak at Troopers 09 you are granting ERNW GmbH the rights to

limited to http://www.troopers09.org, printed and/or electronic advertisements,
