Submission Guidelines
CLEAR Cyber Leaders Conference is a venue for cutting-edge research, best practices, and experimental curricula in cybersecurity law, education, and applied research. CLEAR Cyber Leaders is a conference for researchers, academics, cyber law professionals, and business leaders to share knowledge and improve existing practices. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following participation categories are welcome:
Full Papers: Full paper submissions should be no more than 8 pages long (excluding references). Full Papers are expected to follow style and format of a typical, academic workshop paper for the computer science field, featuring an abstract, introduction, related work, conclusion and references. As a workshop paper, these may highlight early work, in-progress work, lessons-learned, position papers, or program summaries; however, full papers are intended to do at least one of the following: highlight some technical solution of merit to the education community, feature some analysis or survey work of value to the education community, or employ some assessment based on community-accepted practices for the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Each paper will be accompanied by a presentation delivered at the conference by one of the paper’s authors (approximately 25 minutes in duration).
Lightning Talks: Lightning talks highlight fresh ideas, unique perspectives, valuable experiences, and emerging trends in computer security education. Lighting talks are five to seven-minute presentations on work and ideas not ready or suitable for peer-reviewed publication but worth sharing to jump-start discussion among and solicit feedback from attendees.
There are no length or content requirements for the lightning talk abstract, but a few sentences describing what you'd like to share or announce, informally, is appropriate. All lightning talks will have a corresponding poster that will allow the presenter to solicit feedback from the community.
Paper Submissions: For all submissions, text should be formatted in two columns on 8.5" x 11" paper using 10-point type on 12-point leading ("single-spaced"), with the text block being no more than 6.5" x 9" deep. Text outside the 6.5" x 9" block will be ignored. Submissions need not be anonymized.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. All submissions need to be submitted here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clearcyberleaders201
Cybersecurity Law & Policy Papers:
Submissions should be no less than 10 and no more than 50 pages long. All submissions should adhere to the style and format of an academic legal paper featuring a synopsis, introduction, background, analysis, conclusion, and footnote references. Submissions falling under the Cybersecurity Law and Policy portion of the conference should contribute in some meaningful way to one or more of the following constituencies: members of the bar, law students, legal educators, and policymakers. Full papers are intended to do at least one of the following: highlight some technical solution of merit to the education community, feature some analysis or survey work of value to the education community, or employ some assessment based on community-accepted practices for the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Each paper will be accompanied by a presentation delivered at the conference by one of the paper’s authors (approximately 25 minutes in duration).
Specifications: For all legal submissions, text should be double spaced formatted to 8.5" x 11" paper using 12-point type Times New Roman font.
