LSEC - Leaders in Security

Computer security is concerned with the protection of information in environments where there is a possibility of intrusion or malicious action. The aim of ESORICS is to further the progress of research in computer security by establishing a European forum for bringing together researchers in this area, by promoting the exchange of ideas with system developers and by encouraging links with researchers in related areas.

Progressively organized in a series of European countries, the symposium is confirmed as the European research event in computer security.

Instructions for paper submission
The proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series. All submissions should follow the LNCS template from the time they are submitted (follow the “Information for Authors” link at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages (using 11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be written in English.

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

All accepted papers should be presented at the Symposium. Therefore, at least one author of each accepted paper must register to the symposium, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper. Upon acceptance, authors must sign a copyright transfer statement.

Paper submissions must be received by March 21, 2011, 23:59 PST through the ESORICS 2011 submission server at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics11. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by May 20, 2011 and authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to revise their papers for the proceedings version due on June 17th, 2011.
