    Call for Papers and Presentations 
    
    Financial Cryptography '04 
    9-12 February 2004 
    Key West, Florida, USA 
    Conference Web site: http://ifca.ai/fc04 
    
    Important dates: 
    Conference: 9-12 February 2004
    Submission deadline 1 September 2003 23h59 GMT 
    Author notification 15 November 2003 
    Pre-proceedings version due 15 December 2003 
    
    Original papers and presentations on all aspects of financial-data
    security and secure digital commerce are solicited for submission to
    the Eight Annual Conference on Financial Cryptography (FC '04). FC '04
    will bring together researchers and practitioners in the financial,
    legal, cryptologic, and data-security fields to foster cooperation and
    exchange of ideas.
    
    In addition to novel scientific research as in previous years, the
    program for FC '04 will include sessions on digital finance and
    economics and on secure financial systems and digital-cash
    architectures. For the systems and finance sessions, submissions must
    have a visible bearing on financial-security issues, but need not be
    exclusively concerned with cryptography or security. Possible topics
    for submission to the various sessions include:
    
    Research Sessions: Submissions accepted to the research portion of the
    conference will be published in full in the conference proceedings (up
    to 15 pages in total).
    
    Systems and Finance Sessions: For the systems and finance portions of
    the conference, the primary emphasis is on presentation. For accepted
    submissions in these sessions, a one-page abstract will be published
    in the conference proceedings.
    
    Submissions to the systems portion of the conference may include
    architectural descriptions and/or accounts of industry or technical
    experience with implementations of secure digital commerce systems.
    Presentations may concern commercial systems, academic prototypes, or
    open-source projects for any of the topics listed above. Where
    appropriate, software or hardware demonstrations are encouraged as
    part of the presentations in these sessions.
    
    Contributions to the systems and the finance sessions of the
    conference need not necessarily include novel contributions in the
    realm of scientific research, nor must they concern financial
    cryptography or security exclusively. They must, however, reflect
    careful thought and effort and provide valuable, up-to-date experience
    that is relevant to practitioners in the fields of financial
    cryptography and security. Submissions to these sessions may consist
    of a short summary of work of one to six (1-6) pages in length.
    
    Instructions for Authors: Complete papers (or complete extended
    abstracts) must be received by 23h59 GMT on 1 September 2003. All
    papers must be submitted electronically. (In exceptional
    circumstances, paper submissions can be accepted, but special
    arrangements must be made with the program chair prior to 1 August
    2003.) Papers must be formatted in standard PostScript, PDF format, or
    MS Word, and should be submitted electronically according to the
    instructions at http://www.ifca.ai/fc04/ prior to the deadline.
    Submissions in other formats will be rejected. Papers should be
    submitted electronically according to the instructions at
    <https://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/websubmission/fc2004/instructions.php3>. 
    
    Papers may be submitted through the submission form available at
    <https://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/websubmission/fc2004/submit.php3>.  
    Submissions to the research portion of the conference may include at
    most fifteen (15) single-spaced standard pages in length. Submissions
    to the systems and finance portions of the conference must be short
    summaries of work consisting of at most six (6) single-spaced standard
    pages in length.
    
    (As indicated above, for accepted submissions in these latter
    sessions, a corresponding one-page abstract will be published in the
    conference proceedings.) Author names and affiliations on submissions
    must be explicit. In other words, submitted papers should not be
    anonymized. Submissions must include on the first page the title of
    the paper, the names and affiliations of all author, a brief abstract,
    a list of topical keywords, and a conference-session category
    (research, finance, or systems). Papers must describe original work.
    
    For the research portion of the conference, submission of previously
    published material and simultaneous submission of papers to other
    conferences or workshops with proceedings is not permitted. Authors of
    research papers found to be doubly submitted risk having all their
    submissions withdrawn from consideration as well as other appropriate
    sanctions.
    
    The conference proceedings containing all accepted submissions will be
    published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
    (LNCS) series after the conference. A pre-proceedings containing
    preliminary versions of the papers will be distributed at the
    conference. For accepted submissions, at least one author must attend
    the conference and present. In addition, authors of accepted
    submissions must prepare the pre-proceedings and final proceedings
    version - a full paper or one-page abstract, as appropriate -- and
    sign an IFCA copyright form <http://www.ifca.ai/documents/copyright.html>. 
    Questions about paper or panel submissions should be directed to the
    program chair (ajuelsat_private).
