Final Call for Papers

Workshop  on Issues in the Theory of Security (WITS '02)

Portland Oregon, USA
January 14-15 2002
Co-located with POPL '02,
the 29th Annual ACM Symposium
on Principles of Programming Languages
(January 16-18 2002)

IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES:

OVERALL TOPIC AND FORMAT OF WORKSHOP:

The IFIP WG 1.7 on "Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and Design" was established to investigate the theoretical foundations of security. It aims to discover and promote new ways to apply theoretical techniques in computer security, and to support the systematic use of formal techniques in the development of security related applications.

The workshop of Working Group 1.7 is an open event. All researchers working on the theory of computer security are invited. WITS '02 is the second workshop, the first having been held in Geneva in July 2000 (WITS'00).

The program will encourage discussions by all attendees, both during and after scheduled presentations, on participants' ongoing work. Extended abstracts of work presented at the Workshop will be collected before the workshop and distributed to the participants. As in 2000, there will be no formally published proceedings of this year's workshop; however, selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Computer Security based on the Workshop.
