between the international and Japanese information security
technology communities..

2007. Slides for the papers must be submitted by October 1st
2007. The conference is November 29th and 30th 2007, presenters

A some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number
of speaking slots are still available. The conference is
responsible for travel and accomodations for the speakers. If

The PacSec conference consists of tutorials on technical
details about current issues, innovative techniques and best
practices in the information security realm. The audiences are
a multi-national mix of professionals involved on a daily basis
with security work: security product vendors, programmers,
security officers, and network administrators. We give
preference to technical details and education for a technical
audience.
The conference itself is a single track series of presentations
in a lecture theater environment. The presentations offer
speakers the opportunity to showcase on-going research and
collaborate with peers while educating and highlighting
advancements in security products and techniques. The focus is
on innovation, tutorials, and education instead of product
pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to
be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a
valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing
significant new technology in the products.
Paper proposals should consist of the following information:
1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of
origin/passport) and contact info (e-mail, postal address,
phone, fax).
