Speakers should submit a one- or two-paragraph abstract to sec05wips@usenix.org by 6:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, August 3, 2005. Make sure to include your name, your affiliation, and the title of your talk. The accepted abstracts and session schedule will be posted on the conference Web site. The time available will be distributed among the presenters, with each speaker allocated between 5 and 10 minutes. The time limit will be strictly enforced. Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BoFs) Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) will be held Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are informal gatherings of persons interested in a particular topic. BoFs often feature a presentation or a demonstration followed by discussion, announcements, and the sharing of strategies. BoFs can be scheduled onsite, but if you wish to preschedule a BoF, please email the USENIX Conference Department, conference@usenix.org. They will need the title of the BoF with a brief description; the name, title, affiliation, and email address of the facilitator; your preference of date; and whether an overhead projector and screen are desired.
