CanSecWest 2007 (April 18-20) Call For Papers (Deadline January 7th)

CanSecWest 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS

VANCOUVER, Canada -- The eighth annual CanSecWest applied
technical security 
conference - where the eminent figures in the international
security industry 
will get together share best practices and technology - will
be held in 
downtown Vancouver at the the Mariott Renaissance
Harbourside on April 18-20, 
2007. The most significant new discoveries about computer
network hack 
attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and
pragmatic real world 
security experience will be presented in a series of
informative tutorials. 

The CanSecWest 2007 meeting provides international
researchers a relaxed, 
comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials
on key 
developments in security technology, and collaborate and
socialize with their 
peers in one of the world's most scenic cities - a short
drive away from one 
of North America's top skiing areas. 

The CanSecWest 2007 conference will also feature the
availability of the 
Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei
instructors, and their 
advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses -
featuring small class 
sizes and practical application excercises to maximize
information transfer. 

We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers,
and/or lightning 
talk proposals, for selection by the CanSecWest technical
review committee. 
Please make your paper proposal submissions before January
7th, 2007. Slides 
for the papers must be submitted by March 15th, 2007. 

Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited
number of speaking 
slots are still available. The conference is responsible for
travel and 
accomodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for a
tutorial session 
then please email a synopsis of the material and your
biography, papers and, 
speaking background to secwes07cansecwest.com. Only slides
will be needed 
for the March paper deadline, full text does not have to be
submitted - but 
will be accepted if available. 

The CanSecWest 2007 conference consists of tutorials on
technical details 
about current issues, innovative techniques and best
practices in the 
information security realm. The audiences are a
multi-national mix of 
professionals involved on a daily basis with security work:
security product 
vendors, programmers, security officers, and network
administrators. We give 
preference to technical details and new education for a
technical audience. 

The conference itself is a single track series of
presentations in a lecture 
theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the
opportunity to 
showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers while
educating and 
highlighting advancements in security products and
techniques. The focus is 
on innovation, tutorials, and education instead of product
pitches. Some 
commercial content is tolerated, but it needs to be backed
up by a technical 
presenter - either giving a valuable tutorial and best
practices instruction 
or detailing significant new technology in the products. 

Paper proposals should consist of the following information:


1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of
origin/passport) and 
contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax). 
2) Employer and/or affiliations. 
3) Brief biography, list of publications and papers. 
4) Any significant presentation and educational
experience/background. 
5) Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph
description. 
6) Reason why this material is innovative or significant or
an important 
tutorial. 
7) Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines
ready. 
8) Will you have full text available or only slides? 
9) Please list any other publications or conferences where
this material has 
been or will be published/submitted. 

Please include the plain text version of this information in
your email as 
well as any file, pdf, sxw, ppt, or html attachments. (Some
reviewers only
look at .txt info.) Multiple submissions are acceptable.

Please forward the above information to be considered for
placement on the 
speaker roster, or have your short lightning talk scheduled.
Send all 
conference related correspondence to secwes07cansecwest.com.

thanks,
