Workshop on Usable Privacy & Security for Mobile Devices (U-PriSM) CALL FOR PAPERS http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2012/mobile.html ================================================================= The U-PriSM workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss research challenges and experiences around the usable privacy and security of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). -------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Deadline: May 18, 2012, 5 pm US Pacific time (EXTENDED) Anonymization: Papers are NOT to be anonymized Short papers: 2-6 pages excluding bibliography & appendices Position papers: 1 page excluding bibliography & appendices Formatting: Use SOUPS MS Word or LaTeX templates Workshop Date: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 -------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND FOCUS --------------- The workshop seeks two types of original submissions: (1) short papers describing new research outcomes and (2) position papers describing new research challenges and worthy topics to discuss in all areas of usable privacy and security of mobile devices. Submissions should relate to both usability and either privacy or security in mobile devices (smartphones or tablets). Topics may include (but are not limited to): - user authentication on mobile devices - permission management of applications - secure mobile payment - do-not-track on mobile devices - protecting location privacy of mobile users - physical security of mobile devices (against loss or theft) - new security or privacy functionality and design for mobile devices - user testing of mobile security or privacy features - lessons learned from deployment of mobile security or privacy features - comparisons of usable privacy or security features between mobile platforms Short papers are 2-6 pages in length and may cover: research results, work in progress, and practitioner/industry or experience reports focused on any workshop topic. Papers should describe the purpose and goals of the work, cite related work, and clearly state the contributions to the field (innovation, lessons learned). Position papers are 1 page in length and present an arguable opinion about an issue. A position paper may include new ideas or discussions of topics at various stages of completeness. Position papers that present speculative or creative out-of-the-box ideas are welcome. While completed work is not required, position papers should still provide reasonable evidence to support their claims. Workshop papers will be available on the SOUPS website, but will not be included in the ACM Digital library. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the workshop. SUBMISSIONS ------------ We invite authors to submit the following types of papers using the SOUPS 2-column formatting template (available for MS Word [http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2012/soups2012-proceedings-template.doc] or LaTeX [http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2012/soups2012-latex-templates.zip]): Short papers: Submissions should be 2 to 6 pages in length, excluding references and appendices. The paper should be self-contained without requiring that readers also read the appendices. The words [Short Paper] should precede the title of the paper. Position papers: Submissions should be 1 page in length, excluding references and appendices. The paper should be self-contained without requiring that readers also read the appendices. The words [Position Paper] should precede the title of the paper. All submissions must be in PDF format and should not be blinded. Papers should be submitted using the electronic submission system available from the Workshop website. Authors are encouraged to review: Common Pitfalls in Writing about Security and Privacy Human Subjects Experiments, and How to Avoid Them. [https://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/howtosoups.pdf] User experiments should follow the basic principles of ethical research, e.g., beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), minimal risk (appropriateness of the risk versus benefit ratio), voluntary consent, respect for privacy, and limited deception. Authors may be asked to include explanation of how ethical principles were followed in their final papers should questions arise during the review process.
