[Sysreading] CFP: SecDev 2018
by James Davis 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hi all, Dr. Yao is co-chairing SecDev 2018. CFP below: ==================================================== We are pleased to announce the call for papers and tutorials for the third IEEE Secure Development Conference (SecDev) <http://secdev.ieee.org/2018/home> on 30 September - 2 October, 2018 in Cambridge, MA, USA. Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy <http://www.ieee-security.org/>, the conference will once again bring together academia, government, and industry to encourage and disseminate ideas for secure system development. IEEE hosted more than 160 participants at each of the first two SecDev conferences to focus on how developers can “build security in” from the start – and not simply discover the absence of security later. Expanding on that theme, we invite submissions of *research papers*, SoK-like *best practices papers*, and* tutorials* on secure system development and design principles. Developers have valuable experiences and ideas that can inform academic research, and researchers have concepts, studies, and even code and tools that could benefit developers. We appreciate your submissions and sharing with colleagues who might be interested in presenting their ideas, research, and experiences. Authors should submit papers and tutorials by *March 5th, 2018* that present a new direction or future vision of how to build security in for new and existing systems. *NEW this year* - *Practitioners session abstracts [due in July]*. SecDev provides an integrated forum for researchers and practitioners to share their experiences. We strongly encourage practitioners from the industry and government to submit, to share their security experiences and insights, challenges and obstacles encountered. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a short talk during the practitioners sessions at the conference. The abstracts will be included in the conference’s IEEE proceedings.
