If your talk requires any sort of demonstration we encourage you to
set up a network (machines can be provided at cost) and have each
machine projecting on one of the LCDs. Audience members will then be
able to follow what is occurring on each node as the talk progress,
or the speaker may provide different information on different screens.
Also a speaker honourarium of 1000 Euros will be paid for each talk.

Talks will be reviewed in bulk at the submission deadline through a
three round system. Speakers will be contacted if there are any questions
about their presentations. If your talk is accepted you can continue to
modify and evolve it up until the 5th November 2002, at which time it is
frozen for burning to the conference goers CDs.
NOTE: a version of the presentation must be submitted by 12th November
2002 for inclusion in the printed conference papers. These deadlines are
not negotiable and failure to meet deadlines deadline will result in your

Talks that are more technical or reveal new vulnerabilities are of more
interest than a review of material covered many times before. We are
striving to create a high-end technical conference and any talk that helps
in this goal will be given extra consideration.
