Subject: CFP: ACM Workshop on XML Security 2003
The following is the call for papers of ACM workshop on XML security 2003. http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2003/workshops.html Michiharu Kudo ================================= 2003 ACM Workshop on XML Security October 31, 2003 George W. Johnson Center at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA Held in conjunction with the Tenth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-10) - CALL FOR PAPERS The ACM Workshop on XML Security will address security problems faced by users who try to develop XML-based applications, Web services, and security middleware for XML. XML is now used for both a messaging format to connect services and a data representation format for data storage, and this workshop addresses both aspects from the perspective of security. Our scope ranges from specific security features, such as digital signatures and element-wise encryption and access control of XML documents, to the XML-based infrastructure, such as Web services security and XML databases. This year, the workshop also welcomes advanced programming techniques for improving the performance in handling XML security features. The experimental evaluation of standards with regard to XML security is one of the important topics covered by this workshop. The XML Security workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry covering novel research on theoretical and practical aspects of the security required for XML-based systems. We also encourage submissions from standardization communities such as W3C and OASIS, particularly from the technical viewpoint - Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: XML digital signatures XML encryption XML access control XML-based key management XML-based messaging XML-based security assertions XML database security Security policy languages for XML Architecture of XML security Security for Web services Programming techniques Performance measurement and improvements Experimental studies of above topics - Important Dates: Paper submissions due: July 18, 2003 Acceptance notifications: August 31, 2003 Proceedings papers due September 30, 2003 XML Security Workshop: October 31, 2003 - Program Committee: Blake Dournaee, RSA Security Blair Dillaway, Microsoft Carlisle Adams, Entrust Ernesto Damiani, University of Milan Hiroshi Maruyama, IBM Research Jonathan Robie, DataDirect Technologies Phillip Hallam-Baker, VeriSign Raghavan N. Srinivas, Sun Microsystems Selim Aissi, Intel Shinichi Morishita, University of Tokyo - Submission instructions: Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Papers should have a cover page with the title, authors, abstract and contact information. To submit a paper, send to kudo@jp.ibm.com a plain ASCII text email containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Papers must be received by the deadline of July 18, 2003. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the authors no later than August 31, 2003, and authors will have an opportunity to revise for preproceedings version by September 30, 2003. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. During the workshop preproceedings will be made available. It is planned to publish selected revised full papers in an edited collection after the workshop. Final versions are not due until after the workshop, giving the authors the opportunity to revise their papers based on discussions during the meeting.
