Call For Papers
New Security Paradigms Workshop 2002
An ACM/SIG sponsored workshop
23 - 26 September 2002
The Chamberlain Hotel, Hampton, Virginia, USA
http://www.nspw.org 


For ten years the New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW) has provided a
productive and highly interactive forum for innovative new approaches
to computer security. The workshop offers a constructive environment
for experienced researchers and practitioners as well as newer
participants in the field.  The result is a unique opportunity to
exchange ideas. NSPW 2002 will take place September 23 - 26, 2001 at
the Chamberlain Hotel, Fort Monroe, Hampton, Virginia, about 2.5 hours
from Washington, DC.

In order to preserve the small, focused nature of the workshop,
participation is limited to authors of accepted papers and conference
organizers. Because we expect new paradigms, we accept wide-ranging
topics in information security. Any paper that presents a significant
shift in thinking about difficult security issues or builds on a
previous shift is welcomed.

What makes a paper acceptable for NSPW? While we reject plenty of
excellent papers that would do very well at other venues, our eclectic
program committee particularly looks for new paradigms, innovative
approaches to older problems, early thinking on new topics that are not
necessarily fully polished, and controversial issues that might not
make it into other conferences but deserve to have their try at shaking
and breaking the mold. Conversely, a great paper that does not have a
new paradigm, does not challenge the status quo, or does not critique
an older paradigm will almost certainly get rejected.

NSPW is highly interactive in nature. Authors are encouraged to present
ideas that might be considered risky in some other forum. All
participants are charged with providing feedback in a constructive
manner. The resulting brainstorming environment has proven to be an
excellent medium for furthering the development of these ideas. Many
authors have mentioned that they received more useful feedback and
ideas on their work during the presentation and discussion of it at
NSPW than from any other conference. The proceedings, published after
the workshop, have consistently benefited from the inclusion of
workshop feedback.

To participate, please submit your paper, justification, and attendance
statement, preferably via e-mail, to both Program Chairs --  Carla
Marceau carla () oracorp com and Simon Foley s.foley () cs ucc ie -- by
Friday, April 5, 2002 (hardcopy submissions must be received by March
28, 2002). Further details on the required format of submissions
follow.

1 - Your Paper

You should submit either a research paper, a 5 - 10 page position
paper, or a discussion topic proposal. Submissions of any type must not
have been published elsewhere. Discussion topic proposals should
include an in-depth description of the topic to be discussed, a
convincing argument that the topic will lead to a lively discussion,
and any other supporting materials.

Softcopy submissions should be in Postscript, PDF, Word/RTF or ASCII
format. Papers may be submitted as hardcopy. To submit hardcopy, please
mail 5 (five) copies to Program Co-chair Carla Marceau. Please allow
adequate time for delivery.

2 - Justification

You should describe, in one page or less, why your paper is appropriate
for the New Security Paradigms Workshop. A good justification will
describe the new paradigm being proposed, explain how it is a departure
from existing theory or practice, and identify those aspects of the
status quo it challenges or rejects.

3 - Attendance Statement

You should state how many authors wish to attend the workshop. Accepted
papers require the attendance of at least one author. In order to
ensure that all papers receive equally strong feedback, all attendees
are expected to stay for the entire duration of the workshop.

The program committee will referee the papers and notify the authors of
acceptance status by June 14, 2002. We expect to be able to offer a
limited amount of financial aid to those who require it. More
information will be provided on our web site <http://www.nspw.org> as
it becomes available.
