Title: "Electronic voting: how logic can help"

2) Krishna Gummadi (Max Planck Institute, Germany)
Title: "Privacy and Fairness Concerns with PII-based Targeted Advertising on Social Media"

3) Florian Kerschbaum (University of Waterloo, Canada)

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

- Deadline for Short / Position Papers : July 9, 2017 (anywhere in the world)
- Deadline for Full Papers : July 9, 2017 (anywhere in the world)
- Acceptance Notification : September 15, 2017


Scope:
------

Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an increasingly inter-connected
world has become vital to the normal functioning of all aspects of our world. Security
has emerged as an important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities
deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer science and engineering
communities.

After the previous meetings held in La Rochelle, Montreal, Grenoble, Toronto, Paris,
Clermont-Ferrand and Quebec city, this 10th edition of the FPS symposium will be held
in Nancy, France.

The aim of FPS is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical ideas that address
security issues in inter-connected systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations
as well as to establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research programs,
and student exchanges between institutions involved in this important and fast moving
research field.

We also invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in security, privacy,
trustworthy data systems and related areas to submit their original papers.
The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Computer and Network Security
* Formal foundations in Information or Operational Security
* Security of Service Oriented Architectures
* Information Theoretic Security
* Security of Cloud Computing
* Security Management and Security Policies
* Policy-based Security Architectures
* Security of P2P systems
* Security & Privacy on Social Networks
* Access Control Languages
* Data Mining & Watermarking
* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis
* Threat Analysis and Trust Management
* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management
* Policy-based Distributed Information Systems
* Security in Sensor Networks and RFIDs
* Security of Cloud Computing, Grid Computing
* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware
* Distributed Security Protocols & Policies
* Security and Privacy in Digital Currencies
* Malware, Botnet and Advanced Persistent Threats
* Code Reverse Engineering and Vulnerability Exploitation
* Side Channel & Physical Attacks
* Social Engineering
* Security of Big-Data


Submissions Guidelines:
-----------------------

Full papers should be at most 16 pages, including the bibliography and appendices.
Short and Position papers should be up to 8 pages. Authors should indicate whether
their paper is a "position paper" to differentiate them from regular ones
(you mention "Position paper" in the title).

Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should
be intelligible without them.

All submissions must be written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below, using
the EasyChair web site (using the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2017)
and following the requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The submitted
contribution should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style.
Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys and controversial ideas are encouraged.
Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.


Publication:
------------
As in previous editions, proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one author of
each accepted paper must register to the symposium, by the date indicated
by the organizers, and present the paper.
