Call for Papers

Introduction
============
Software security is about protecting information and ensuring that
systems continue to function correctly even when under malicious
attack. The traditional approach of securing a system has been to
create defensive walls such as intrusion detection systems and
firewalls around it, but there are always cracks in these walls, and
thus such measures are no longer sufficient by themselves. We need to
be able to build better, more robust and more _inherently secure_
systems, and we should strive to achieve these qualities in all
software systems, not just in the ones that _obviously_ need special
protection. This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and
lessons learned for building secure and dependable software.

Topics
======
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Secure architecture and design
- Security in agile software development
- Aspect-oriented software development for secure software
- Security requirements
- Risk management in software projects
- Secure implementation
- Secure deployment
- Testing for security
- Quantitative measurement of security properties
- Static and dynamic analysis for security
- Verification and assurance techniques for security properties
- Security and usability
- Design and deployment of secure services
- Secure composition and adaptation of services
- Teaching secure software development
- Experience reports on successfully attuning developers to
secure software engineering
- Lessons learned

Important dates:
================
- Submission Deadline: March 14th, 2011 (Extended!)
- Author Notification: April 18th 2011
- Author Registration: June 1st 2011
- Proceedings Version: June 1st 2011
- Conference/ Workshop: August 22nd -26th 2011

Submission Guidelines
=====================
Authors are invited to submit papers in IEEE Computer Society
Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, including
figures and references, using 10 pt fonts, and number each
page). Please consult the IEEE CS Author Guidelines at the following
web page: http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting

We solicit the submission of academic workshop papers (6 pages)
representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers
will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Duplicate submissions are not allowed. A submission is considered to
be a duplicate submission if it is submitted to other
conferences/workshops/journals or if it has been already accepted to
be published in other conferences/workshops/journals. Duplicate
submissions thus will be automatically rejected without review.

Contact author must provide the following information: Paper title,
authors' names, affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail
address of the author(s), about 200-250 word abstract, and about five
keywords. Paper registration and submission is done through the ARES
Paper Management System at the following address:
http://stdev.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ares2011/

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at
least one of the authors will register for the ARES conference and
present the paper in the workshop. Accepted papers will be given
guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s)
together with the notification of acceptance. New for 2011: ARES and
SecSE now require anonymized submissions, so please remove all author
names and obvious self references from your submission.

Publication
===========
All accepted papers will be published as ISBN proceedings by the IEEE
Computer Society, and will be available online through IEEE Xplore (EI
indexing).

Journal special issue: Distinguished papers submitted to SecSE will be
invited for possible publication in the International Journal of
Secure Software Engineering (ISSN 1947-3036 -
http://www.igi-global.com/ijsse).
