Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones <lgj (at) usenix.org> On behalf of the first USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the Internet (FOCI '11) program committee, we invite you to submit short position papers or work-in-progress reports on policies or technologies to detect or circumvent practices that inhibit free and open communications on the Internet. Please submit all papers by May 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. FOCI '11 seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from both technology and policy backgrounds to share their experience in this field of study. We encourage submissions of new, interesting work on a wide variety of topics of interest, including but not limited to the following areas: * Evaluation or analysis of existing anti-censorship systems * Comparisons of existing performance-measurement tools that might be used to detect tampering (e.g., violations of "network neutrality") * Studies and findings on censorship or tampering from field deployments (e.g., what content various countries are currently censoring, the extent to which ISPs are degrading certain types of content) * Analysis of the economic impact of censorship * Metrics for deniability and robustness * Performance metrics and benchmarks for detecting content tampering or performance degradation * Detecting and measuring the censorship of search results * The design of network protocols and topologies that resist tampering or censorship * Techniques to counter mass surveillance * Policy-related issues Submissions are due by May 1, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/foci11/cfpa/ We look forward to receiving your submissions!
