URL: https://esorics2024.org/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

===================
CONFERENCE OUTLINE:
===================

ESORICS is the annual European research event in Computer Security.

The Symposium started in 1990 and has been held in several European
countries, attracting a wide international audience from both the
academic and industrial communities.

We are looking for papers with high quality, original and unpublished
research contributions. The Symposium will start on September 16, 2024
with an exciting technical program, including vetted papers, invited
talks and collocated workshops.

Important Dates:
-----------------

All submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m. any where on earth Time
on the day of the corresponding deadline.

* Title and abstract: April 19, 2024 (firm)
* Full paper submission: April 19, 2024 (firm)
* Notification to authors: June 14, 2024
* Camera ready due: June 28, 2024

Submission Guidelines:
----------------------

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference / workshop with proceedings. Papers that either lack
originality, clarity in presentation, fall outside the scope of this
call for papers or were already rejected in the first review cycle,
might be rejected without a review. Authors will be promptly informed
in such cases.

Publication Guidelines:
----------------------

The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). In addition, we will publish
a special issue containing selected papers from the ESORICS 2024
proceedings. As in previous years, ESORICS will present a Best Paper
Award chosen by the Program Committee. This award is generously sponsored
by Springer.


How to submit your paper:
-------------------------

Submitted papers must follow the LNCS template from the time they are
submitted. Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages (using 10-point
font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at
most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the
appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All
submissions must be written in English. Submissions must be uploaded
to the following EasyChair website:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics2024

Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions are not anonymous.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must agree
with Springer LNCS copyright and guarantee that their papers will be
presented at the conference.

Conflict of Interest (CoI):
----------------------------

The program co-chairs require cooperation from both authors and PC
members to prevent submissions from being evaluated by reviewers who
have a conflict of interest. In the one hand, during the bidding
procedure, PC members will be required to indicate potential CoIs. On
the other hand, authors will be asked during the submission process to
indicate any PC members with whom they share CoIs as well as the types
of CoIs. That is, if they and one the authors 1) share an
institutional affiliation at the time of submission; 2) had at any
time in the past a supervisor/PhD student relationship; 3) have
collaborated or published with in the prior two years; 4) are in some
form of financial relationship, or have been at some point during the
past two years; or 5) are related, or have close personal friendships.
For other forms of conflict, authors must contact the chairs and
explain the perceived conflict.

Program committee members who have conflicts of interest with a paper,
including program co-chairs, will be excluded from discussing and
reviewing the submission. Authors also need to notify the PC Chairs of
any other reason or circumstance that creates a risk that professional
judgement may be unduly influenced.

The chairs reserve the right to request further explanation and can
remove non-mandatory conflicts at their discretion.
