Call for Papers in PDF Format

HOW AND WHERE TO SUBMIT REFEREED PAPERS

Authors must submit a mature paper. Any incomplete sections (there shouldn't be many) should be outlined in enough detail to make it clear that they could be finished easily. Full papers are encouraged, and should be about 8 to 15 typeset pages. Submissions must be received by 9 a.m. CST, February 12, 2001 (The deadline was originally Feb. 1, but has been extended.).

Papers will only be accepted electronically, via the symposium Web site, and must be in PDF format (e.g., processed by Adobe's Acrobat Distiller). We request that you follow the NSF FastLane guidelines in preparing your PDF.

Please use this web form for submissions.

For more details on the submission process, authors are encouraged to consult the detailed author guidelines.

All submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, and correctness. Each accepted submission may be assigned a member of the program committee to act as its shepherd through the preparation of the final paper. The assigned member will act as a conduit for feedback from the committee to the authors. Authors will be notified of acceptance by March 27, 2001. Camera-ready final paper due date is May 11, 2001 (the original date was May 2, 2001, but has been extended.).

The USENIX Security Symposium, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers not be submitted simultaneously to another conference or publication and that submitted papers not be previously or subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.

Specific questions about submissions may be sent via e-mail to sec01chair@usenix.org.
