    The Case Studies Track is a complementary part of the technical
    conference. It is an opportunity for professionals to share
    information that is current without writing a detailed technical
    paper. It is open to anyone in the community such as vendors,
    network providers, systems integrators, government
    civil/federal/military programs or users across the spectrum of
    computer security applications.

Technology Blitz Committee  (tbc_chair@private)

    short talks (10 min.+ 5min Q&A) on hot, up to date topics.

Works In Progress  (wip_chair@private)

    * Mary Ellen Zurko, IBM Software Group (WiP Chair)

    The Works In Progress (WIP) session packs as many 5 minute

    These talks highlight the most current work in both business and
    academia, emphasizing goals and value add, accomplishments to date,
    and future plans. Special consideration is given to topics that
    discuss real life security experience, including system
    implementation, deployment, and lessons learned.

Tutorials  (tutorial_chair@private)

    * Daniel Faigin, The Aerospace Corporation, USA. (Tutorials Chair)

    Tutorials are full (6 hour) or half (3 hour) day classes on how to
    apply or use a particular technology to address a security need. A
    typical tutorial submission includes an abstract of the tutorial, a
    brief (1-2 page) outline, an instructor bio, an indication of
    length, and notes on prerequisites and textbooks. Tutorial
    instructors receive an honorarium and expenses. If you would like
    to indicate a topic you would like to see, you may do that as well;
    please suggest an instructor if you can.

Workshop  (workshop_chair@private)

    * Harvey Rubinovitz, Mitre Corporation (Workshop Chair)

    ACSAC workshops are on up to date topics that attendees usually
    rate to provide a useful and exciting forum for information
    technology professionals (e.g., standards developers, software
    developers, security engineers, security officers) to exchange
    ideas, concerns, and opinions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conferenceship Program

ACSAC offers a conferenceship program to enable students to attend the
Annual Computer Security Applications Conference. This program will
pay for the conference and tutorial expenses, including travel, for
selected students. Additional information about this program is
available on the Student Awards page or you may contact the Student
Papers Chair.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACSAC does not accept "speaking proposals" in the form of a biography
and a one paragraph description of a topic. Depending on a proposal's
technical content, it may be acceptable as a case study. If a full
paper is available, it may be acceptable as a technical paper. If a
presentation by a group of related speakers is contemplated, a
proposal for this session may be acceptable as a panel or forum. If a
proposal for a half day or full day seminar is appropriate, it may be
acceptable as a tutorial. If a one or two page technical writeup is
available that describes work that is not yet completed, it may be
acceptable as a works in progress. Finally, if your have an interest
in a full day interactive dialogue, exchanging ideas, opinions and
concerns between multiple presenters and attendees, consider being a
workshop presenter.

About the Sponsor

Applied Computer Security Associates (ACSA) had its genesis in the
first Aerospace Computer Security Applications Conference in
1985. That conference was a success and evolved into the Annual
Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC). Several years ago
the word "Aerospace" was dropped from the name to promote a wider
range of government and commercial applications. ACSA was incorporated
in 1987 as a non-profit association of computer security professionals
who have a common goal of improving the understanding, theory, and
practice of computer security. ACSA continues to be the primary
sponsor of the annual conference.

In 1989, ACSA began the Distinguished Lecture Series at the annual
conference. Each year, an outstanding computer security professional
is invited to present a lecture of current topical interest to the
security community. In 1991, ACSA began a Best-Paper by a Student
Award, presented at the Annual conference. This award is intended to
encourage active student participation in the annual conference. The
award winning student author receives an honorarium and all expenses
to the conference.

ACSA continues to be committed to serving the security community by
finding additional approaches for encouraging and facilitating
dialogue and technical interchange. ACSA is always interested in
suggestions from interested professionals and computer security
professional organizations on how to achieve these goals.
