ARES 2008 – The International Security and Dependability Conference

http://www.ares-conference.eu/

4-7 MARCH 2008
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF CATALONIA, BARCELONA, SPAIN
 

***Scope***

The Third International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security 
(“ARES – The International Security and Dependability Conference”) 
will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of IT-Security and Dependability. 

ARES will highlight the various aspects of security – with special focus on secure 
internet solutions, trusted computing, digital forensics, privacy and organizational 
security issues. ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of 
security as anintegrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, 
integrity,maintainability and security in the different fields of applications.

***Submission Guidelines***

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings 
Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, 
and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at 
one of the following web pages:

    * http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html
    * or http://www.tinmith.net/tabletop2006/IEEE/Format/instruct.htm

Submission papers are classified into 3 categorizes 
(1) full paper (8 pages), (2) short paper (5 pages), and (3) poster (2 pages) representing 
previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, 
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.

Contact author must provide the following information at the AReS web site: 
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.

Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors 
will register and present the paper in the conference.

Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together 
with the notification of acceptance.
