On behalf of the 2nd USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy 
(HealthSec '11) program committee, we invite you to submit innovative 
papers covering all aspects of healthcare information security and 
privacy.

The focus of HealthSec '11 is the exploration of security and privacy 
issues that arise from the exploding quantity of digital personal health 
information, in both the provider and the patient settings.

The Program Commitee strongly encourages cross-disciplinary interactions 
between fields, including, but not limited to, technology, medicine, and 
policy. Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly 
favored; complete papers with polished results in well-explored research 
areas are comparatively discouraged.

We will select position papers that show potential to stimulate or 
catalyze further research and explorations of new directions, as well as 
extended abstracts that explore a specific issue a little more deeply, 
including preliminary results.

Position papers are solicited on topics in all areas relating to 
healthcare information security and privacy, including:

* Security and privacy models for healthcare information systems
* Industry experience in securing healthcare information systems
* Design and deployment of patient-oriented systems for securely 
  accessing and managing personal health data
* Security and privacy threats against existing and future medical 
  devices--and countermeasures
* Regulatory and policy issues of healthcare information systems
* Privacy of medical information
* Usability issues, especially combined with security constraints
* Threat models for healthcare information systems

Submissions are due April 5, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. UTC (7:59 p.m. EDT).

For submission guidelines and more information, please see the
complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/healthsec11/cfpa/

HealthSec '11 will be co-located with the 20th USENIX Security Symposium
(USENIX Security '11), which will take place August 10-12, 2011.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.
