CfP: New Security Paradigms Workshop 2019 / Social manipulation through technology
NSPW 2019: Call for Papers <br> <br>San Carlos, Costa Rica <br> <br>September 23-26, 2019 <br> <br>www.nspw.org <br> <br> <br>Submission deadline: April 12, 2019 23:59 (UTC -11) firm <br> <br>Format: PDF file (ACM SIG formatting) via <br>Easychair <br> <br>Author responses: May 24 - June 3, 2019 <br>Notification of acceptance: June 12, 2019 <br>Pre-proceedings deadline: July 8, 2019 <br>Invitations sent: July 15, 2019 <br>Early registration: July 29, 2019 <br>Late registration: August 5, 2019 <br>Workshop: September 23-26, 2019 <br>Final version: November 15, 2019 <br> <br> <br>The New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW) seeks embryonic, disruptive, and <br>unconventional ideas on information and cyber security that benefit from early <br>feedback. Submissions typically address current limitations of information <br>security, directly challenge long-held beliefs or the very foundations of <br>security, or discuss problems from an entirely novel angle, leading to new <br>solutions. We welcome papers both from computer science and other disciplines <br>that study adversarial relationships, as well as from practice. The workshop <br>is invitation-only; all accepted papers receive a 1 hour plenary time slot for <br>presentation and discussion. In order to maximize diversity of perspectives, <br>we particularly encourage submissions from new NSPW authors, from Ph.D. <br>students, and from non-obvious disciplines and institutions. <br> <br> <br>In 2019, NSPW invites theme submissions around "Social manipulation through <br>technology" next to regular submissions. Recently, a new type of concern is <br>emerging in the cybersecurity community: how should the field deal with the <br>possibility of manipulating societies or subgroups within a society via <br>information and communication technology (e.g. trolling, fake news, election <br>manipulation)? What are new paradigms that could help in this context? <br>Possible topics include, but are not limited to: <br> <br>* What are the motives, origins and characteristics of such <br>manipulations? <br> <br>* What are the effects on social systems in terms of culture, politics, <br>communication, media, trust, power? <br> <br>* What can and should our field do, if anything, to safeguard the <br>values embedded in our societies against such manipulations? <br> <br>* How do current technical and social arrangements enable or facilitate <br>manipulation? <br> <br>* What new technical or social protections might we put in place? What <br>new social media could help, or hurt? <br> <br>For the theme, we particularly invite cross-disciplinary submissions that may <br>be having trouble finding the right venue, and submissions (co-)authored by <br>social and political scientists. <br> <br> <br>NSPW 2019 will be held at Hotel Tilajari in San Carlos, Costa Rica. As in the <br>past, this choice of venue is designed to facilitate interactions between the <br>invited attendees throughout the workshop. <br> <br>Submission Instructions <br> <br>NSPW accepts three categories of submissions: <br> <br>* Regular Submissions present a new approach (paradigm) to a security <br>problem or critique existing approaches. While regular submissions may present <br>research results (mathematical or experimental), unlike papers submitted to <br>most computer security venues, these results should not be the focus of the <br>submission; instead, the change in approach should be the focus. <br> <br>* Theme Submissions are focused on "Social manipulation through <br>technology", and should explain the connection with the theme in the <br>justification statement (see below). They follow the format of a regular <br>submission. <br> <br>* Panel Proposals describe a debatable topic of interest to the <br>security community that merits significant discussion. Proposals should <br>describe the major perspectives on the chosen topic. They should also present <br>the background of the panelists, explaining how they are the right people to <br>discuss the chosen topic at NSPW. <br> <br> <br>Submissions must be made in PDF format, 6-15 pages, ACM SIG <br>formatting, through <br>EasyChair, as linked on the NSPW site. Submissions must include a cover page <br>with authors' names, affiliation, justification statement and attendance <br>statement. Papers not including these risk rejection without review. The <br>justification statement briefly explains why the submission is appropriate for <br>NSPW and the chosen submission category. The attendance statement must specify <br>which author(s) will attend upon acceptance/invitation. Submissions should not <br>be blinded. Organizers and PC members are allowed to submit, but will not be <br>involved in the evaluation of their own papers. All submissions are treated as <br>confidential as a matter of policy. NSPW does not accept previously published <br>or concurrently submitted papers. <br> <br> <br>Authors may submit review responses during the review process indicating the <br>changes they wish to commit to. Papers are accepted conditionally and are <br>shepherded, with final proceedings being published after the workshop. <br> <br>Attendance <br> <br>The workshop itself is invitation-only, with typically 30-35 participants <br>consisting of authors of about 12 accepted papers, panelists, program <br>committee members, and organizers. One author of each accepted paper must <br>attend; additional authors may be invited if space permits. All participants <br>must commit to a "social contract": no one arrives late, no one leaves early, <br>no electronic distractions (including laptops, tablets, and mobile devices), <br>and all attend all sessions of the 2.5 day program, sharing meals in a group <br>setting and complying with the code of conduct. The workshop is preceded by an <br>evening reception allowing attendees to meet each other beforehand. <br> <br> <br>Financial Aid: Financial aid may be available, especially for U.S.-based <br>students and junior faculty. We encourage submissions from students and junior <br>faculty, even if support is required to attend. <br> <br> <br>Program Committee Co-chairs: <br> <br> Wolter Pieters, Delft University of Technology, <br>w.pieters@tudelft.nl <br>Elizabeth Stobert, National Research Council Canada, <br>elizabeth@stobert.ca <br> <br> <br>Dr.ir.
