SACMAT 2021: ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies Barcelona, Spain, June 16-18, 2021 |
Conference website | http://sacmat.dista.uninsubria.it/2021/about.php |
Submission deadline | February 15, 2021 |
The ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT) is the premier forum for the presentation of research results and experience reports on leading edge issues of access control, including models, systems, applications, and theory.
Submission Guidelines
Regular Track Paper Submission and Format
Papers must be written in English. Authors are required to use the ACM format for papers, using the two-column SIG Proceedings Template (the sigconf template for LaTex) available in the following link:
https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions
The length of the paper in the proceedings format must not exceed twelve US letter pages formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper and be no more than 5MB in size. It is the responsibility of the authors to ensure that their submission will print easily on simple default configurations. The submission must be anonymous, so information that might identify the authors - including author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious self-citations - must be excluded. It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that their anonymity is preserved when citing their own work. Submissions should be made to the EasyChair conference management system by the paper submission deadline of February 15, 2021 11:59 pm AOE:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacmat21
All submissions must contain a significant original contribution. That is, submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Wherever appropriate, relevant related work, including that of the authors, must be cited. Submissions that are not accepted as full papers may be invited to appear as short papers. At least one author from each accepted paper much register for the conference prior to the camera-ready deadline.
Blue Sky Track Paper Submission and Format
All submissions to this track should be in the same format as for the regular track, but the length must not exceed ten US letter pages, and the submission are not required to be anonymized (optional). Submissions to this track should be submitted to the EasyChair conference management system by the same deadline as for the regular track.
Work-in-progress Track Paper Submission and Format
Authors are invited to submit papers in the newly introduced work-in-progress track. This track is introduced for (junior) authors, ideally Ph.D. and Masters students, to obtain early, constructive feedback on their work. Submissions in this track should follow the same format as for the regular track papers while limiting the total number of pages to six US letter pages. Paper submitted in this track should be anonymized and can be submitted to the EasyChair conference management system by the same deadline as for the regular track.
Call for Lightning Talk
Participants are invited to submit proposals for 5-minute lightning talks describing recently published results, work in progress, wild ideas, etc. Lightning talks are a new feature of SACMAT, introduced this year to partially replace the informal sharing of ideas at in-person meetings. Submit at https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sacmat21 by May 28, 2021 (the early registration deadline). Notification of acceptance on June 2, 2021.
Call for Posters
SACMAT 2021 will include a poster session to promote discussion of ongoing projects among researchers in the field of access control and computer security. Posters can cover preliminary or exploratory work with interesting ideas, or research projects in early stages with promising results in all aspects of access control and computer security. Authors interested in displaying a poster must submit a poster abstract in the same format as for the regular track, but the length must not exceed three US letter pages, and the submission should not be anonymized. The title should start with "Poster:". Accepted poster abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.Submissions should be emailed to the poster chair, Dr. Diego Perino (diego.perino@telefonica.com), by Apr 19, 2021, 5PM PDT. The subject line should include "SACMAT 2021 Poster:" followed by the poster title.
Call for Demos
A demonstration proposal should clearly describe (1) the overall architecture of the system or technology to be demonstrated, and (2) one or more demonstration scenarios that describe how the audience, interacting with the demonstration system or the demonstrator, will gain an understanding of the underlying technology. Submissions will be evaluated based on the motivation of the work behind the use of the system or technology to be demonstrated and its novelty. The subject line should include "SACMAT 2021 Demo:" followed by the demo title.Demonstration proposals should be in the same format as for the regular track, but the length must not exceed four US letter pages, and the submission should not be anonymized. A two-page description of the demonstration will be included in the conference proceedings. Submissions should be emailed to the Demonstrations Chair, Dr. Diego Perino (Diego.perino@telefonica.com), by Apr 19, 2021, 5pm PDT.
