Symposium On Usable Privacy and Security 2014 In-cooperation with USENIX http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/ July 9-11, 2014 Menlo Park, CA CALL FOR PAPERS http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2014/cfp.html The 2014 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 technical papers, a poster session, panels and invited talks, lightning talks and demos, and workshops and tutorials. This year SOUPS will be held at Facebook in Menlo Park, CA. TECHNICAL PAPERS (see the SOUPS website for details on other types of submissions) We invite authors to submit original papers describing research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. Topics include, but are not limited to: - innovative security or privacy functionality and design, - new applications of existing models or technology, - field studies of security or privacy technology, - usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features, - security testing of new or existing usability features, - longitudinal studies of deployed security or privacy features, - the impact of organizational policy or procurement decisions, and - lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable privacy and security features, - reports of replicating previously published studies and experiments, - reports of failed usable security studies or experiments, with the focus on the lessons learned from such experience. All submissions must relate to both usability and either security or privacy. Papers on security or privacy applications that do not address usability or human factors will not be considered. Papers must use the SOUPS formatting template (available for MS Word or LaTeX) and be up to 12 pages in length, excluding the bibliography and any supplemental appendices. Authors have the option to attach to their paper supplemental appendices containing study materials (e.g., surveys) that would not otherwise fit within the body of the paper. Reviewers are not required to read any appendices so your paper should be self contained without them. Accepted papers will be published online with their supplemental appendices included. Submissions must be no more than 20 pages including bibliography and appendices. Submissions must be in PDF format and should be made electronically at http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/crp/soups2014/. New this year, reviewing is double blind: Author names and affiliations should not appear on the title page, and papers should avoid revealing the authors' identity in the text. Any references to own work should be made in the third person. Contact the program chairs if you have any questions. Submissions that violate these requirements may be rejected without review. Technical papers must be registered by 5pm, US Pacific time, Friday, Feb 28 and submitted by 5pm, US Pacific time, Thursday, Mar 6. This is a hard deadline! Authors will be notified of technical paper acceptance by May 5, and camera-ready final versions of technical papers will be due May 30. Accepted papers will be published by the USENIX Association, and will be freely available on the USENIX and SOUPS websites. Submitted papers must not significantly overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a peer-reviewed venue or publication. Any overlap between your submitted paper and other work either under submission or previously published must be documented in a clearly-marked explanatory note at the front of the paper. State precisely how the two works differ in their goals, any use of shared experiments or data sources, and the unique contributions. If the other work is under submission elsewhere, the program committee may ask to review that work to evaluate the overlap. Please note that program committees frequently share information about papers under review and reviewers usually work on multiple conferences simultaneously. As technical reports are not peer reviewed they are exempt from this rule. You may also release pre-prints of your accepted work to the public at your discretion. 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 are encouraged to include in their submissions explanation of how ethical principles were followed, and may be asked to provide such an explanation should questions arise during the review process.
