FPS 2020: International Symposium on Foundations & Practice of Security Montreal, Canada, December 1-3, 2020 |
Submission link | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2020 |
The aim of FPS is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical ideas that address security issues in inter-connected systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this important and fast moving research field.
We invite researchers and practitioners from all countries working in security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to participate in the event.

Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be written in English. Full papers should be at most 16 pages, including the bibliography and the appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Short and Position papers should be up to 8 pages. Authors should indicate whether their paper is a “Position paper” to differentiate them from regular ones (“Position paper” should be mentioned in the title).
Authors must submit their papers by October 1st, 2020 using the EasyChair web site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2020) and following the requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The submitted contribution should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style (TeX, Word). Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys and controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.
