Funding progress for 2010:
Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS 2009)
Topics of SOUPS 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 security or privacy features or security testing of usability features, and lessons learned from deploying and using usable privacy and security features.
Call For Papers / Call For Participation (CfP)
The 2009 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). This year SOUPS will be held in Mountain View, CA.
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 security or privacy features or security testing of usability features, and
lessons learned from deploying and using 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 substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. 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 2009 best paper award.
Papers may be up to 12 pages in length including bibliography, appendices, and figures, using the SOUPS proceedings template [MS Word] [LaTeX]. 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 2009 conference. 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 midnight, US East Coast time, the evening of Friday, February 27. This is a hard deadline! Authors will be notified of technical paper acceptance by April 20, and camera ready final versions of technical papers are due May 29.
POSTERS
We seek poster abstracts describing recent or ongoing research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. Submissions should use the SOUPS poster template [MS Word] [LaTeX] and be at most two pages. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed to symposium participants and made available on the symposium web site. Please follow the final submission formatting instructions when preparing your poster abstract to avoid the need to revise poster abstracts after acceptance decisions are made. In addition, SOUPS will include a poster session in which authors will exhibit their posters. Note, poster abstracts should be formatted like short papers, not like posters. Authors of accepted posters will be sent information about how to prepare and format posters for the conference.
Submit your poster using the electronic submissions page. 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.
We also welcome authors of recent papers (2008 to 2009) on usable privacy and security to present your work at the SOUPS poster session. Please submit the title and abstract of your conference paper, full citation, and a link to the published version.
Submissions will close at 5pm, US East Coast time, the evening of May 29.
DISCUSSION SESSIONS
SOUPS will feature parallel, moderated breakout sessions (similar to Birds of a feather sessions) in which symposium participants will discuss a topic related to usable privacy and security. These sessions may include a brief introduction to the topic by the moderator, but otherwise will not include formal presentations. Discussion session topics may include, but are not limited to, definitions or metrics, design critiques, research agendas, or frameworks for collaborative research. We seek proposals for discussion session topics. Proposals must include a one paragraph statement of the topic to be discussed and a one paragraph bio of each proposer that describes their experience or interest in the topic. Optionally, proposers may submit up to two pages of background material that can be distributed to participants and posted on the SOUPS website. Authors of accepted proposals will be expected to moderate their discussion session and provide a brief report on their session for posting on the SOUPS web site after the symposium.
Proposals for discussion sessions should be submitted via email to sessions AT cups DOT cs DOT cmu DOT edu
Submissions will close at 5pm, US East Coast time, the evening of May 29.
IN-DEPTH SESSIONS (WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS)
We are soliciting proposals for a small number of in-depth sessions on usable security and privacy. These sessions could run either a half or full day, and could be lecture-oriented (tutorial) or a group-oriented session designed to widely share experience (workshop). To get a better idea, please see the following examples of previous workshop and tutorial descriptions:
Examples of Previous Workshops:
Security User Studies Workshop
Workshop on Usable IT Security Management
Examples of Previous Tutorials:
Protocol ABCs
Hands-On Usability Testing
User Interface Design, Prototyping, and Evaluation
Introduction to Computer Security and Privacy
Proposals should include the following:
Title
Leader(s) (including pertinent biographical information)
Format (tutorial or workshop)
Description
Duration (half or full day)
Target audience
(Workshops only) Goals and highlights of the call for participation.
In-depth sessions will be open to all SOUPS attendees. They will generate materials that will be made available on the SOUPS website (tutorial notes, workshop presentations and a report/summary). Workshops will have their own CFP for presentations, abstracts, or short papers, which will be published by February 1.
Send in-depth session proposals to sessions AT cups DOT cs DOT cmu DOT edu by November 25.
PANELS
SOUPS is seeking proposals for panels. A good panel focuses on an issue of current concern, and has a strong and clear point of contention in the topic, in the questions, and in the panelist points of view. Full proposals should contain a title, description of the topic, and suggested panelists (with pertinent biographical information). We are also interested in ideas for panels you would like to see on the program, even if you do not wish to be a panel organizer.
Send suggestions or proposals for panels to sessions AT cups DOT cs DOT cmu DOT edu by January 12.
INVITED TALKS
We're looking for ideas for invited speakers. Please suggest a speaker you would like to hear from, or have heard recently with something provocative or visionary to say on the topic of usable security and privacy.
Send suggestions for invited speakers to sessions AT cups DOT cs DOT cmu DOT edu by January 12.
