FPS 2012, CALL FOR PAPERS
5th International Symposium on
FOUNDATIONS & PRACTICE OF SECURITY,
(Proceedings by Springer LNCS series)

http://conferences.telecom-bretagne.eu/fps2012/
Montreal, QC, Canada, October 25-26, 2012
******************************************************************

Scope: 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.

After the previous meetings held in Montreal, Grenoble, Toronto and
Paris, this fifth edition of the FPS symposium will be held at ETS
(Ecole de Technologie Superieure), in Montreal (QC, Canada), the 25th
and 26th of October of 2012.

The aim of this event 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.

Topics: we 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:

* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis
* Security in Service Oriented Architectures
* Security in Web Services
* Security Administration
* Policy-based Security Architectures
* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware
* Access Control Languages
* Trust Management
* Game Theory
* Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Threat Analysis
* Distributed Security Protocols
* Security of Grid Computing
* Malware & Botnet Detection
* Protocol Verification
* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management
* Data Mining
* Security of Cloud Computing
* Watermarking
* Side Channel Attacks
* Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Information Theoretic Security
* Information Flow
* Security in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Security in Sensor Networks and RFIDs

Submission Guidelines: Papers should be at most 16 pages (using
11-point font), including the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the
paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
written in English. Authors must submit their papers by the deadline
indicated below, using the EasyChair web site (using the link
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2012) and following the
requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The submitted
contribution should be formatted according to Springer's LNCS style.

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

Publication: Proceedings will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register to the symposium, by the
early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
