The goal of DISC 98 event is to create conscience in the community that uses
computers about security strategies and mechanisms used to protect information.
This year the DISC takes place alongside the most important computing event of
Mexico.  

The computing general congress (http://www.org.org.mx/cuarenta) celebrates
forty years of computing in Mexico and convokes specialists in computer
security to participate.

"Individual Responsibility" is the slogan of this year and it suggests
that the security of an organization should be totally supported 
by directive, security personnel, managers, and system users.

The community is convoked to participate in the DISC 98 event through

There will be parallel tracks of tutorial-style presentations during

and workshop-style presentations, as well as business sessions.
Two evenings are allocated for participants to hold events devoted to
subjects of particular interest ("birds of a feather" sessions).

Contributions should follow the following guidelines:
 
1. Tutorials:      Half or full day tutorial proposals will be considered.
 
2. Papers:         Written papers may be as long as desired, but
                   presentations must be limited to 30 minutes.
 
3. Workshop:       These informal sessions should either follow a more
                   "hands-on" approach or provide for a high degree of
                   audience participation. They should be tailored to
                   address specific issues and should be from 60 to 90 minutes
