CONFERENCE SCOPE:

Building on the success of ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (CCS) and ACM Transactions on Information and
System Security (TISSEC), the ACM Special Interest Group on Security,
Audit, and Control (SIGSAC) formally established the annual ACM
Symposium on InformAtion, Computer and Communications Security
(ASIACCS). The inaugural ASIACCS was held in Taipei (2006). Since then
ASIACCS has been held in Singapore (2007), Tokyo (2008), Sydney
(2009), Beijing (2010), Hong Kong (2011), Seoul (2012), and Hangzhou
(2013).

ASIACCS 2014 is the ninth conference of the series, and will be held
in Kyoto, Japan, a city renowned for its historic relics and natural
beauty. Kyoto was (and some say still is a) capital of Japan for over
a millennium, and contains many sites of cultural significance,
including some of the most famous temples and shrines in Japan as well
as imperial palaces and gardens. In addition, Kyoto is home to
Nintendo among many other computer companies.

ASIACCS is a major international forum for information security
researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore and
exchange the newest cyber security ideas, breakthroughs, findings,
techniques, tools, and experiences. We invite submissions from
academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all
theoretical and practical aspects of computer and network
security. Areas of interest for ASIACCS 2014 include, but are not
limited to:

- access control
- accounting and audit
- anonymity
- applied cryptography

- authentication
- cloud computing security
- data and application security
- digital forensics
- embedded systems security
- formal methods for security
- hardware-based security
- inference control and disclosure
- intrusion detection
- key management
- malware and botnets
- mobile computing security
- network security
- operating system security
- privacy-enhancing technology
- security architectures
- security metrics
- software security
- trusted computing
- usable security and privacy
- web security
- wireless security

PAPER SUBMISSIONS:

Submissions must be written in English, and must be at most 10
pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices,
and at most 12 pages overall. Committee members are not required
to read appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them.
Submissions must be in double-column ACMSIG Proceedings format
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates, both
Option 1 and Option 2 on the page are fine) with page numbers. No
changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those
specified by the style file. We reserve the right to request the
source files for a submission to verify compliance with this
requirement. Only PDF files will be accepted.

All submissions must be anonymized. An author's name should occur only
in references to that author's related work, which should be
referenced in the third person and not overtly distinguishable from
the referenced work of others. Submitted papers must not
substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are
simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or
workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not
allowed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers
will be presented at the conference.

Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press as conference
proceedings in USB thumb drives and in the ACM Digital Library. Final
proceedings versions will be 10 pages in double-column ACM format,
although authors will have the option of buying a limited number of
additional pages. In addition to regular papers, some short papers
could also be accepted and included in the proceedings.
