SUBMITTING PAPERS:
==================
We will be using the OpenConf Paper Submission and Review System, as we
did last year.  Full papers, including abstracts, should 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).

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.

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

An Outstanding Paper Award will be given to the author(s) of the
outstanding refereed paper.  The Best Paper by a Student Award and
stipend will be given to a paper the primary content of which was
developed by students.  Student authors must provide written
confirmation of their student status with their paper submissions. A
student must have a current course load of at least 9 credit hours or
equivalent, or be enrolled in a degree-granting program and not employed
in a professional capacity outside of the university more than 20 hours
per week.  Questions? Student_chair () acsac org.
