SAC 2011
For the past twentytwo years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC)
has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer
engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present
their research. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on
Applied Computing (SIGAPP); its
proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they
are also available on the web through the ACM Digital Library. More information
about SIGAPP and past editions of SAC can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp
The Security Track reaches its tenth edition this year, thus appearing among the most established tracks in the Symposium. The list of issues remains vast, ranging from protocols to workflows .
Topics of interest include but are not limited to
- software security (protocols, operating systems, etc.)
- hardware security (smartcards, biometric technologies, etc.)
- mobile security (properties for/from mobile agents, etc.)
- network security (anti-virus, anti-hacker, anti-DoS tools, firewalls, real-time monitoring, etc.)
- alternatives to cryptography (steganography, etc.)
- security-specific software development practices (vulnerability testing, fault-injection resilience, etc.)
- privacy and anonymity (trust management, pseudonymity, identity management, electronic voting, etc.)
- safety and dependability issues (reliability, survivability, etc.)
- cyberlaw and cybercrime (copyrights, trademarks, defamation, intellectual property, etc.)
- security management and usability issues (security configuration, policy management, usability trials etc.)
- workflow and service security (business processes, web services,
etc.)
The best papers of the 2003 edition are published in a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley), vol. 16, no.1, 2004.
The best papers of the 2004 edition are published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer Security (IOS), vol. 13, no.5, 2005.
The best papers of the 2006 edition are published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer Security (IOS), vol. 17, no.3, 2009.
This practice will be continued on the basis of appropriateness of the submissions.

Submission Guidelines
The submission guidelines must be strictly followed for a paper to be
considered.
Original papers from the above mentioned or other related areas will
be considered. Only full papers about original and unpublished research
are sought. Parallel submission to other conferences or other tracks of
SAC 2011 is forbidden. Each paper must be BLIND in the sense that it
must only include its title but not mention anything about its authors.
Self-reference must be blind too. All submissions must be formatted
using the ACM conference-specific
LaTeX style, which can be obtained from the symposium web
page.The standard extension of a submission in the stated format is
6 pages. Longer papers (up to 8 pages
maximum) will imply an additional charge. All papers must be submitted
by 24 August 2010.
Each paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees.Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2011 proceedings. Some papers may only be accepted as poster papers, and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the proceedings. According to the authors' guidelines, which can be obtained from the symposium web page, at least one author per paper must register before their paper is included in the proceedings.
