> The 2010 Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) will bring
> together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners
> in
> human computer interaction, security, and privacy. The program will
> feature technical papers, a poster session, panels and invited talks,
> discussion sessions, and in-depth sessions (workshops and tutorials).
> Detailed information about technical paper submissions appears below.
> For information about other submissions please see the SOUPS web site
> http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/cfp.html.
>
> TECHNICAL PAPERS
>
> We invite authors to submit original papers describing research or
> experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. Topics
> include,
> but are not limited to:
>
> * innovative security or privacy functionality and design,
> * new applications of existing models or technology,
> * field studies of security or privacy technology,
> * usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy
> features,
> * security testing of new or existing usability features,
> * longitudinal studies of deployed security or privacy features,
> * the impact of organizational policy or procurement decisions, and
> * lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable privacy and
> security features.
>
> All submissions must relate to both usability and either security or
> privacy. Papers on security or privacy applications that do not
> address
> usability or human factors will not be considered.
>
> Papers need to describe the purpose and goals of the work completed
> to date, cite related work, show how the work effectively integrates
> usability and security or privacy, and clearly indicate the innovative
> aspects of the work or lessons learned as well as the contribution of
> the work to the field.
>
> Submitted papers must not significantly overlap papers that have been
> published or that are simultaneously submitted to a peer-reviewed
> venue or publication. With the exception of publicly available prior
> work
> that is documented in your related work section, any overlap between
> your submitted paper and other work either under submission or
> previously published must be documented in a clearly-marked
> explanatory note at the front of the paper. State precisely how the
> two
> works differ in their goals, any use of shared experiments or data
> sources, and the unique contributions. If the other work is under
> submission elsewhere, the program committee may ask to review that
> work to evaluate the overlap. Please note that program committees
> frequently share information about papers under review and reviewers
> usually work on multiple conferences simultaneously. As technical
> reports are not peer reviewed they are exempt from this rule. You may
> also release pre-prints of your accepted work to the public at the
> time
> of your discretion.
>
> Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the
> ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. The technical papers
> committee will select an accepted paper to receive the SOUPS 2010
> best paper award.
>
> New this year, authors have the option to attach to their paper
> supplemental appendices containing study materials (e.g. surveys) that
> would not otherwise fit within the body of the paper. These appendices
> may be included to assist reviewers who may have questions that fall
> outside the stated contribution of your paper, on which your work is
> to
> be evaluated. The body of your paper must still be self contained and
> provide sufficient detail to elucidate your study methodology and
> results,
> as reviewers are neither required nor expected to read supplemental
> appendices. Accepted papers will be published online with their
> supplemental appendices included.
>
> Papers must use the SOUPS formatting template (available for MS Word
> or LaTeX) and be up to 12 pages in length, exclusive of the
> bibliography
> and any supplemental appendices described above. Submissions must
> be no more than 20 pages including bibliography and appendices. If
> your supplemental materials exceed this page limit, you may upload a
> separate external appendix file with these materials. The external
> appendix file need not conform to the SOUPS formatting template. In
> that case, make sure you mention the external appendix in the body of
> your paper and describe its contents. For the body of your paper,
> brevity
> is appreciated, as evidenced by the fact that many papers in prior
> years
> have been well under this limit. All submissions must be in PDF format
> and should not be blinded. In addition, you must cut and paste an
> abstract of no more than 300 words onto the submission form.
>
> Submit your paper using the electronic submissions page for the SOUPS
> 2010 conference (http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/submit.html).
> A successful submission will display a web page confirming it, and a
> confirmation email is sent to the corresponding author. Please make
> sure you receive that confirmation email when you submit, and follow
> the directions in that email if you require any follow up.
>
> Technical paper submissions will close at 5 PM, US Pacific time, the
> evening of Friday, March 5. This is a hard deadline! Authors will
> be notified of technical paper acceptance by April 30, and camera
> ready final versions of technical papers are due June 12.
>
> Authors are encouraged to review: Common Pitfalls in Writing about
> Security and Privacy Human Subjects Experiments, and How to Avoid
> Them.
