ACM CCS 2010 --- CALL for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
======================================================================
Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with
ACM CCS 2010. Each workshop provides a forum to address a specific
topic at the forefront of security research.

A workshop must be one full day in length. Proceedings of all
workshops will be available (on a CD) to the workshop attendees. Each
workshop will also have on-line proceedings through ACM Digital
Library, with a separate ISBN.

======================================================================
Important Dates

* Submission deadline: February 15, 2010

* CFP and Website for each workshop by March 15-25
* Suggested workshop papers submission deadline: around July 2
* Suggested workshop papers notification: before August 10
* Workshop papers camera ready: August 25 (hard deadline)

======================================================================
Workshop Proposal Submission

For new workshops, proposals should include:

* Workshop title
* A draft "Call for Papers" articulating the scope and topics covered
  by the workshop
* A brief summary and justification for the workshop, including
  anticipated benefits to the ACM CCS community.
* Planned activities
* Expected number of submissions and acceptance rate
* Expected number of attendees
* Program chair(s), and, if available, tentative program committee
* A one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer, describing
  relevant qualifications, including research and conference/workshop
  organizing experience

For previously-held workshops, in addition to the above, proposals
must provide the following information, for the most recent
incarnation of the workshop:

* Number of submissions
* Number of accepted papers
* Estimated number of attendees

Please submit workshop proposals by email to the ACM CCS Workshop
Chairs, Ting Yu (yu () csc ncsu edu) and Ninghui Li
(ninghui () cs purdue edu). All workshop proposals will be reviewed by
the CCS Steering Committee.

======================================================================
Proposal Evaluation Criteria

* The workshop is within the scope of computer and communications
  security and concerns a coherent and important technical topic of
  high interest in the community.
* Its novelty with respect to other forums, especially with respect to
  other CCS workshops.
* Its likely impact on the target community, including likely high
  participation.
* One of the best ways to show likely interest is to have a strong set
  of researchers who have agreed to serve on the PC.

======================================================================
CCS Support for Workshops:

If a workshop proposal is accepted, the ACM CCS workshop chairs will
work closely with workshop organizers. The ACM CCS workshop chairs
will help create/maintain the submission and reviewing websites for
workshops (likely through EasyChair), and are responsible for
monitoring and coordinating organizational aspects of the workshops.
