20:30 - Workshop dinner

The workshop dinner will take place at the restaurant AKROPOLIS, Pl. Solny 18/19, 50-060 Wroclaw.
Thanks to Marcin, who booked the place for us, there is a table booked under "Marcin Bienkowski, University of Wroclaw", at around 20:30.
The webpage is a little bit outdated, and I guess the link to "menu" does not work, but nevertheless: akropolis.
The map from their page is here.


Background, aim and scope

Computer security is an established field of computer science of both theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in logic-based foundations for various methods in computer security, including the formal specification, analysis and design of security protocols and their applications, the formal definition of various aspects of security such as access control mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service attacks, and the modeling of information flow and its application to confidentiality policies, system composition, and covert channel analysis.

The workshop FCS-ARSPA'07 is the second edition of the fusion of two workshops: FCS and ARSPA, which joined forces in 2006 for FCS-ARSPA'06, which was affiliated to LICS'06, in the context of FLoC'06.
The workshop FCS continues a tradition, initiated with the Workshops on Formal Methods and Security Protocols (FMSP) in 1998 and 1999, then with the Workshop on Formal Methods and Computer Security (FMCS) in 2000, and finally with the LICS satellite Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security (FCS) in 2002 through 2005, of bringing together formal methods and the security community.
ARSPA is a series of workshops on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both the security and the formal methods communities, from academia and industry, who are working on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. The first two ARSPA workshops were held as satellite events of the 2nd International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR'04) and of the 32nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP'05), respectively.
The aim of the joint workshop FCS-ARSPA'07 is to provide a forum for continued activity in these areas, to bring computer security researchers in closer contact with the LICS and ICALP communities, and to give LICS and ICALP attendees an opportunity to talk to experts in computer security. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and on work in progress.

We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Automated reasoning techniques
Composition issues
Formal specification
Foundations of verification
Information flow analysis
Language-based security
Logic-based design
Program transformation
Security models
Static analysis
Statistical methods
Tools
Trust management
for Access control and resource usage control
Authentication
Availability and denial of service
Covert channels
Confidentiality
Integrity and privacy
Intrusion detection
Malicious code
Mobile code
Mutual distrust
Privacy
Security policies
Security protocols
All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.

Submission

Submissions should be at most 15 pages (a4paper, 11pt), including references, in the Springer LNCS style available at the URL
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The cover page should include title, names of authors, co-ordinates of the corresponding author, an abstract, and a list of keywords.
It is recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately.
Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.
Simultaneous submissions to a journal or another conference are accepted, unless the rules for the journal or the other conference exclude such a possibility. If the paper is accepted to both FCS-ARSPA'07 and the other venue, it is the responsibility of the authors to promptly notify FCS-ARSPA'07 chairs and to acknowledge copyright holders.

Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps); please, do not send files formatted for work processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or Wordperfect files).

The only mechanism for paper submissions is via the

electronic submission web-site (http://www.easychair.org/FCSARSPA07/)
Please, follow the instructions given there.

Important dates

Papers due: April 15, 2007
Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2007
Final papers: June 10, 2007
Workshop: July 8, 2007

Publication

Informal proceedings will be made available in electronic format and they will be distributed to all participants of the workshop.

A journal special issue associated to the workshop (but open also to non-participants, in all cases with fresh reviewing) is planned.

Audience

Participation to the workshop will be open to anybody willing to register.
