CanSecWest 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS VANCOUVER, Canada -- The eleventh annual CanSecWest applied technical security conference - where the eminent figures in the international security industry will get together share best practices and technology - will be held in downtown Vancouver at the the Sheraton Wall Centre on March 22-26, 2010. The most significant new discoveries about computer network hack attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and pragmatic real world security experience will be presented in a series of informative tutorials. The CanSecWest meeting provides international researchers a relaxed, comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key developments in security technology, and collaborate and socialize with their peers in one of the world's most scenic cities - a short drive away from one of North America's top skiing areas. The CanSecWest conference will also feature the availability of the Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei instructors, and their advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses - featuring small class sizes and practical application excercises to maximize information transfer. We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, and/or lightning talk proposals for selection by the CanSecWest technical review committee. This year we will be doing one hour talks, and some shorter talk sessions. Please make your paper proposal submissions before November 30th, 2009. 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 you have a proposal for a tutorial session then please make your submission using our new online form, available at https://cansecwest.com/submissions/. If the on-line form is not available you can alternatively email a synopsis of the material and your biography, papers and, speaking background to secwest09 [at] cansecwest.com . Only slides will be needed for the March paper deadline, full text does not have to be submitted - but will be accepted if available. This year we will be opening up the presentation guidelines to include talks not in English which we will offer to translate for the speaker if they are not a native English speaker. The CanSecWest 2010 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 new 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). 2. Employer and/or affiliations. 3. Brief biography, list of publications and papers. 4. Any significant presentation and educational experience/background. 5. Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph description. 6. Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an important tutorial. 7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready. 8. Will you have full text available or only slides? 9. Language of preference for submission. 10. Please list any other publications or conferences where this material has been or will be published/submitted. 11. If you have multiple speakers, please outline why each presenter is necessary and what each is presenting. Please include the plain text version of this information in your email as well as any file, pdf, sxw, ppt, or html attachments. Please forward the above information to secwest09 [at] cansecwest.com or use our on-line submissions form at https://cansecwest.com/submissions/ to be considered for placement on the speaker roster, or have your lightning talk scheduled. If you contact anyone else at our organization please ensure you also cc the submission address with your proposal or use the on-line submissions system or else it may be omitted from the review process. thanks, --dr P.S. please accept my apologies if your submission feedback hasn't arrived yet from PacSec (but no news is good news for a few which will be invited to Vancouver ;-). -- World Security Pros.
