Thought some might find this interesting. I went to the SCISS last year at UNT. It is really a great program. One of the most well organized I have ever been to and the people are just as nice as can be. The main focus is Undergrads and Grads, however, I'm sure anyone can ask to be a guest. There wasn't a registration fee last year. S.
Dear SCISS '03 attendee: Thank you for your participation in last year's South Central Information Security Symposium. Due to the success of last year's event, we will be holding a second SCISS, this time hosted on the Rice University campus in Houston. I've attached the announcement below, and if you have research that is related to our symposium topics of interest, please consider sending in an abstract. The symposium web site is http://cops.csci.unt.edu/sciss04, and while information is a little scant now, we are updating it almost daily. Submission instructions will be posted in the next few days, and local information will be posted soon afterwards. Thanks, and I hope to see you at SCISS '04! -- Steve Tate [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========== 2004 South Central Information Security Symposium (SCISS '04) Announcement and Call for Papers The 2004 South Central Information Security Symposium (SCISS '04) is designed to bring together people from Texas, Oklahoma, and surrounding areas who are performing original research in the areas of computer and information security. The symposium will be scheduled with ample opportunity for meeting and mingling, and it is hoped that the symposium will spur research collaboration in the region. The symposium will be held April 24, 2004 at Rice University, in Houston, Texas. Submissions of one-page abstracts are encouraged from people in this area. Abstracts may present either research results or more speculative and incomplete ideas. The program committee will select abstracts for either 25 minute presentations or 5 minute "Work in Progress" talks. Attendees will receive copies of abstracts at the symposium, which will also be published on the web, but the publication of only abstracts is meant to leave open the possibility of publishing full results at a conference of wider national or international scope. Topics of Interest: The topics listed below are representative of the areas of interest in this symposium. The list is not meant to be exhaustive, and other related, relevant topics will be considered. Approaches may be theoretical or applied, but work should make an original contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Authentication Network Security Access Control Denial of Service Privacy and Anonymity Security Protocols Cryptography and Applications Digital Forensics Intrusion Detection Security Verification Data Integrity Distributed Systems Security Mobile Code and Agent Security Viruses and Malicious Code Database Security Submissions: Authors should submit papers through the conference web site (see "More Information" below). While one page abstracts are required, authors may additionally submit more detailed papers that give more information, which may be reviewed by the program committee at their discretion. Dates: Abstract submission deadline: March 24, 2004 Notification of acceptance: April 9, 2004 Final versions of accepted abstracts due: April 16, 2004 Symposium date: April 24, 2004 Symposium web site: http://cops.csci.unt.edu/sciss04/index.html More Information: More information can be obtained from the symposium web site, or by writing to Steve Tate at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Program committee: Jan Guynes Clark University of Texas at San Antonio John Hale University of Tulsa Steve Tate University of North Texas Dan S.
