Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer
security are solicited for submission to the Ninth European Symposium on
Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2004). Organized in a series of
European countries, ESORICS is confirmed as the European research event in
computer security. The symposium started in 1990 and has been held on
alternate years in different European countries and attracts an
international audience from both the academic and industrial communities.
>From 2002 it will be held yearly. The Symposium has established itself as
one of the premiere, international gatherings on Information Assurance.

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of papers
discussing industrial research and development. Proceedings will be
published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series.


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference
with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the
bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font), and at most
20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices,
and so the paper should be intelligible without them.

To submit a paper, send to esorics04 at dti.unimi.it a plain ASCII text email
containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors' names, email
and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the
contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME
attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files
formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect
files). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.

Submissions must be received by March 26, 2004 in order to be considered.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by May 30,
2004. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright
statement and must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the
conference. Authors of accepted papers must follow the Springer Information
for Authors' guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript and use the
templates provided there.
