Submissions

Authors are invited to submit electronically (PDF format) a non-anonymous extended abstract. The extended abstract should be typeset using 11-point or larger fonts, in a single-column, single-space (between lines) format and have reasonable margins. Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. All submissions will be treated as confidential, and will only be disclosed to the committee and their chosen sub-referees. The submission should begin with a title, followed by the names, affiliations and contact information of all authors, and a short abstract. The length of the submission should be at most 14 pages excluding the title page, bibliography, and appendices. Within these 14 pages the submission should clearly indicate the results achieved, their significance, and their relation to other work in the area. Referees are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that was published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted in parallel to a journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings.

Best Paper award

All submissions are eligible for the Best Paper award. The committee may decide to split the award between multiple papers, or to decline to make an award.

Presentation

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

Proceedings and Special Issue

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

A Special issue of Journal of Computer Security will be devoted to selected papers from SCN 2020.
