Symposium On Usable Privacy and SecurityCALL FOR PARTICIPATIONThe Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners in human computer interaction, security, and privacy. The program will feature refereed papers, tutorials, a poster session, panels and invited talks, and discussion sessions. REFEREED PAPERSRefereed paper submissions are now closed We seek original papers describing research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. Topics include, but are not limited to, breakthrough models, innovative functionality and design, new applications of existing models or technology, usability testing of security features or security testing of usability features, and lessons learned from deploying and using usable privacy and security features. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work or lessons learned as well as the contribution of the work to the field. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. Papers should be at most 12 pages including bibliography, appendices, and figures, using the ACM SIG proceedings template at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html (LaTeX users should use template Option 2). All submissions must be in PDF format. In addition, you must cut and paste an abstract of no more than 300 words into the submission form. Submit your paper using the electronic submissions page. A successful submission will display a web page confirming it, and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding author. Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you submit, and follow the directions in that email if you require any follow up. Submissions closed at midnight, US East Coast time, the evening of Friday, February 25. POSTERSWe seek poster abstracts describing recent or ongoing research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. Submission of late breaking results and work in progress is especially encouraged. Posters will not be published, and thus may substantially overlap published papers or papers simultaneously submitted to a conference or journal. Submissions should follow the same formatting instructions as refereed papers, but should be at most two pages and should not include categories and subject descriptors, general terms, keywords, or a copyright block (LaTeX users should use template Option 1). Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed to symposium participants and made available on the symposium web site. In addition, SOUPS will include a poster session in which authors will exhibit their posters. Note, poster abstracts should be formatted like short papers, not like posters. Authors of accepted posters will be sent information about how to prepare and format posters for the conference. Submit your poster using the electronic submissions page. A successful submission will display a web page confirming it, and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding author. Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you submit, and follow the directions in that email if you require any follow up. Submissions will close at midnight, US East Coast time, the evening of May 6. DISCUSSION SESSIONSSOUPS will feature parallel, moderated breakout sessions (similar to Birds of a feather sessions) in which symposium participants will discuss a topic related to usable privacy and security. These sessions may include a brief introduction to the topic by the moderator, but otherwise will not include formal presentations. Discussion session topics may include, but are not limited to, definitions or metrics, design critiques, research agendas, or frameworks for collaborative research. We seek proposals for discussion session topics. Proposals must include a one paragraph statement of the topic to be discussed and a one paragraph bio of each proposer that describes their experience or interest in the topic. Optionally, proposers may submit up to two pages of background material that can be distributed to participants and posted on the SOUPS website. Authors of accepted proposals will be expected to moderate their discussion session and provide a brief report on their session for posting on the SOUPS web site after the symposium. Submit your discussion session proposal using the electronic submissions page. A successful submission will display a web page confirming it, and a confirmation email is sent to the corresponding author. Please make sure you receive that confirmation email when you submit, and follow the directions in that email if you require any follow up. Submissions will close at midnight, US East Coast time, the evening of May 6.
