SAFECONFIG 2011 Call for Posters and Demos 

SAFECONFIG 2011 to be held in Arlington, Virginia, USA on October
31-November 1, 2011 will host a Configuration Analytics and Security
Automation exhibition consisting of poster presentations and tool
demonstrations. The purpose of the exhibition is to provide a wide forum for
researchers, practitioners, and tool developers to present their work in the
general areas of configuration analytics and security automation. The
symposium will be co-located with the 7th Annual IT Security Automation
Conference, and will present an excellent opportunity for researchers
(particularly graduate students) to obtain feedback from and network with
industry and government attendees. 

Submissions from industry, universities, and research institutes are
encouraged. The areas of interest are the same as the main track. See
<http://www.safeconfig.org/2011/index4ea2.html?q=node/1>

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 
Poster presentation will provide an opportunity for researchers to report on
interesting original results and ongoing work, and for practitioners to
share their field experiences highlighting real-world challenges in
configuration and security automation. Poster presentations will enable
authors to receive early feedback on their work and exchange ideas.
Submissions for poster presentations must be sent as a single PDF file
attachment to safeconfig2011 at gmail.com. The submission should contain an
abstract of no more than 2 pages describing the research content of the
poster, along with title, authors, affiliations, and contact information.
Accepted abstracts of poster presentation submissions will appear in the
conference proceedings. 

Submissions for tool demonstrations can report on early implementations of
recent advances or novel concepts, as well as mature prototypes. The tool
demonstration paper provides a good way of showing how approaches and
techniques described in a previous research paper have been transferred into
a working tool. Authors of regular research papers are thus encouraged to
submit an accompanying tool demonstration paper. Submissions for tool
demonstration must be sent as a single file attachment to
safeconfig2011 at gmail.com. The PDF file should contain two parts: 
* An abstract of no more than 2 pages describing how the system or tool to
be demonstrated solves an important problem, and may contain discussion of
system implementation, deployment, or case studies of use in the field.
Accepted abstracts of demo submissions will appear in the conference
proceedings. 
* An additional informal description (1-2 pages) describing what attendees
will be able to see or do during your demo (e.g. screenshots), and itemize
any equipment or facilities that you will bring for your system
demonstration. Please note that demonstrators will be required to bring
their own equipment. WiFi will be available at the demonstration venue.

EVALUATION OF SUBMISSIONS 
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the program
committee. The submissions will be evaluated based on relevance for the
SAFECONFIG audience, originality, technical soundness, presentation quality,
and appropriate consideration of relevant literature.
