About the Conference
If you are developing practical solutions to problems
relating to protecting your commercial enterprise or country's information
infrastructure, consider submitting a paper to the Annual Computer Security
Applications Conference, to be held this December in
New Orleans Louisiana
at the
New Orleans Sheraton Hotel.
This internationally recognized conference provides a forum for
experts in information system security to exchange practical ideas about
solving these critical problems. We are looking for papers, panels and
tutorials that address:
- Access control models and policies
- Certification and accreditation/product evaluation
- Cryptographic protocols and applied cryptography
- Database Security
- Electronic commerce security
- Firewalls and other boundary control devices
- Forensics
- Middleware and distributed systems security
- Modeling and simulation
- Network security
- Operating systems security
- PKIs and certificate management
- Risk/vulnerability assessment
- Intrusion detection and security management
- Survivability and denial of service protection
- Security engineering
- Security against malicious mobile code
Papers will be judged for best paper awards. A prize will be
given for Outstanding Conference Paper and the Best Student Paper. For the Best
Student Paper, expenses to attend the conference will also be provided. Student
authors should be sure to check the "Student paper" box when you
submit your paper to ensure that
your paper is considered for the Best Student Paper Award.
The conference solicits papers, panels, case studies
presentations, and tutorials that address practical approaches to solving these
problems in commercial environments, universities, federal, state and local
governments, and departments of defense. Selected papers will be those that
present examples of in-place or attempted solutions to real problems, lessons
learned, original research analyses, and approaches to securing our information
infrastructure.

About the Sponsor Applied
Computer Security Associates (ACSA) had its genesis in the
first Aerospace Computer Security Applications Conference in 1985. That
conference was a success and evolved into the Annual Computer Security
Applications Conference (ACSAC). Several years ago the word "Aerospace" was
dropped from the name to promote a wider range of government and commercial
applications. ACSA was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit association of
computer security professionals who have a common goal of improving the
understanding, theory, and practice of computer security. ACSA continues to be
the primary sponsor of the annual conference.
In 1989, ACSA began the Distinguished Lecture Series at the annual
conference. Each year, an outstanding computer security professional is invited
to present a lecture of current topical interest to the security community. In
1991, ACSA began a Best-Paper by a Student Award, presented at the Annual
conference. This award is intended to encourage active student participation in
the annual conference. The award winning student author receives an honorarium
and all expenses to the conference.
ACSA continues to be committed to serving the security community
by finding additional approaches for encouraging and facilitating dialogue and
technical interchange. ACSA is always interested in suggestions from interested
professionals and computer security professional organizations on how to
achieve these goals. |
