CALL FOR PAPERS

The conference series ICISS (International Conference on Information
Systems Security), held annually, provides a forum for disseminating
the latest research results in information and systems security. The
acceptance ratio of the first four conferences has averaged less than
30%, and the proceedings have been published as part of the Springer
Verlag series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The ICISS 2009
encourages submissions addressing theoretical and practical problems
in information and systems security and related areas. We especially
like to encourage papers in domains that have not been represented
much in the past at the conference, such as database security/privacy,
usability aspects of security, operating systems security, and sensor
networks security. Papers that introduce and address unique security
challenges or present thought-provoking ideas are also welcome. For
details please refer to conference website at:
