Overview
------------------------------------
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. Papers offering novel research
contributions in computer security are solicited for submission to the
Symposium. The primary focus is on original, high quality, unpublished
research and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of
papers discussing industrial research and development.

Paper Submission Guidelines
------------------------------------
Submissions must be made through EasyChair at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics2016

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. The conference proceedings will be
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(LNCS).

All submissions should 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 are to be made to
the Submission web site. 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
guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.

Papers must be received by the aforementioned dates, 11:59 p.m.
American Samoa time (UTC-11).
