SUBMITTING PAPERS:
==================
We will be using the OpenConf paper submission and review system as we
did last year. Full papers, including abstracts, must be submitted
electronically via the ACSAC web site by 1 June 2003 in Adobe Acrobat
(PDF) format such that they are viewable in the English-language version
of Acrobat (i.e., no language extensions).

Since we use a "double-blind" review system, your paper must not reveal
the author names or organizations on the cover page, in headers or
footers, in acknowledgements, etc.

All submissions will be judged on writing quality, originality,
relevance, and correctness.  Accepted papers may be assigned to a member
of the Program Committee to assist the author(s) through the preparation
of the final paper.  The assigned member will act as the Point of
Contact between the author(s) and the Committee.

Papers that have been formally reviewed and accepted will be presented
during the conference on December 10-12 and published in the conference
Proceedings.  The Proceedings will be distributed to conference
attendees and be made available for purchase after the conference at the
ACSAC web site.

For more details on the submission, review and publication processes,
authors are encouraged to consult the detailed guidance provided at the
conference web site: http://www.acsac.org

OUTSTANDING PAPER AWARD:
========================
An Outstanding Paper Award will be given to the author(s) of the
