ARES 2016 - CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************************************************** The 11th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2016) August 31 – September 2, 2016, Salzburg, Austria http://www.ares-conference.eu/ ****************************************************************************************** *********** ARES CONFERENCE ************ The 11th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (“ARES”) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of dependability. ARES will highlight the various aspects of security - with special focus on the crucial linkage between availability, reliability and security. ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of security as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, confidentiality, integrity, maintainability and security in the different fields of applications. ARES will emphasize the interplay between foundations and practical issues of security in emerging areas such as e-government, m-government, location-based applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, chances of grid computing etc. ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Secure and Dependable Computing and the definition of a future road map. Selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference will be published, after further revision, in special issues of international journals. The acceptance rate of the ARES 2015 conference was 29% (full papers only). The ARES conferences have been published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). ************ CONFERENCE OFFICERS ************ General Chair Dominik Engel, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria Program Committee Chairs Stephen B. Wicker, Cornell University, USA Dominik Engel, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria ************ IMPORTANT DATES ************ Submission Deadline: March 13, 2016 extended to March 29, 2016 (23:59 UTC-11) Author Notification: May 30, 2016 Proceedings Version: June 20, 2016 Conference: August 31 - September 2, 2016 ************ SUBMISSION ************ The proceedings of ARES (including workshops) have been published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) of IEEE. Authors of selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference (including workshops) will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues of international journals. Authors are invited to submit research and application papers according the following guidelines: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 pt fonts and number each page. For the main conference as well as the workshops submission papers are classified into 3 categorizes representing original, previously unpublished work: full paper (10 pages) short paper (6 pages) workshop paper (8 pages, a maximum of 10 pages is tolerated) Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation and clarity of exposition. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. ARES, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. Double blind review: ARES requires anonymized submissions – please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references. The ARES submission system (EasyChair) is available here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ares2016 ************ PROGRAM COMMITTEE ************ Isaac Agudo, University of Malaga, Spain Esma Aimeur, University of Montreal, Canada Philipp Amann, Europol, EC3, Netherlands Todd R.
