[fc-announce] Advance CFP: Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2008 [deadline: September 25]

[Radu Sion]

Dear Colleague,

This is an advanced call for papers for the Financial
Cryptography and Data Security Conference in Cozumel,
Mexico, 28-31 January, 2008 (http://fc08.ifca.ai).

Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major
international forum for research, advanced development,
education, exploration, and debate regarding information
assurance in the context of finance and commerce. The
conference covers all aspects of securing transactions
and systems. Submissions focusing on both fundamental
and applied real-world deployments are solicited.

This year, for the first time, we are also accepting
submissions for posters and short papers. The poster
session is the perfect venue to share a provocative
opinion, interesting established or preliminary work,
or a cool idea that will spark discussion. Poster
presenters will benefit from a multi-hour session to
discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback
from attendees. The intention behind short papers
(peer-reviewed) is to encourage authors to introduce
work in progress, novel applications and corporate or
industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated
with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking
participants' interest and future research avenues.
