******Reminder: March 31, 2012 Deadline approaching ***************
Dear TC chairs and vice chairs,
As you probably know we have conducted during the last year a portfolio
analysis of ComSoc's financially sponsored conferences.
One of the findings was that currently ComSoc is lacking a major
conference focusing on security technologies, beyond the security
symposia in our flagship conferences GLOBECOM and ICC. On the other hand
Security, Privacy and Trust are topics of rapidly growing importance and
interest in the community, especially when we think about the ever
growing importance of trends like pervasive computing, cloud computing,
e-commerce, e-government and others. They are of interest to many ComSoc
TCs, TC CIS, TC CC and many others
In the meantime we have received several proposals focusing on specific
sub-areas of security topics. In order to do it right from the beginning
we would like to invite interested ComSoc researchers to help shaping
ComSoc's new core security conference.
Therefore we ask all TCs to distribute this "call for proposal" to
their members.
Call for Proposal
-----------------
Please submit a proposal covering the following items:
Technically:
---------------
- security and privacy technologies covered
- Technical committee chair persons as
well as TPC members, as well as
how will you recruit further TPC members
- Review process
- Conference Technical program content
- academic and industry program components
Organization and Venue:
---------------------
- conference venue
- conference dates and preparation schedule
- local organizers
- budget plan
- possible patrons (typically major
industry in the region)
- travel logistics and hotel costs
- (technically) co-sponoring organization (if any)
- etc
Whereas we welcome proposals covering both aspects (Technical Program as
well as Venue and Organization), this is not a hard requirement. It is
entirely possible to propose only one of both aspects and let the
selection committee recommend collaboration between a technical and
organizing group.
All proposals should be sent to ComSoc's conference leadership team (VP
of conferences and 3 Conference Directors)
conferenceleadership at comsoc.org
Deadline for Proposals is March 31, 2012. The Target date for the first
conference to happen is 2. half of 2013.
The conference leadership team will study the various proposals in
April, possibly ask for clarification and revision and then decide
before ICC 2012 in Ottawa. I want to hold a first meeting with the
successful proposing team at ICC in Ottawa.
Please note, this is planned to be an annual conference, so don't be
frustrated if your proposal does not make it in the first attempt, there
will be many more chances in the coming years.
For any proposals or other questions you may have, please mail to
conferenceleadership at comsoc.org.
Kind regards
Heiner Stuettgen
