EUSecWest/core06 CALL FOR PAPERS 
--------------------------------

London Security Summit February 20/21 2006

LONDON, United Kingdom -- Applied technical security will be the focus
of a new annual conference from the organizers of CanSecWest, and
PacSec, which is sponsored by the U.K. Ministry of Defence - where the
eminent figures in the international security industry will get
together with leading European researchers to share best practices and
technology.  The most significant new discoveries about computer
network hack attacks and defenses, commercial security solutions, and
pragmatic real world security experience will be presented in central
London at the Victoria Park Plaza hotel on February 20 and 21.

The EUSecWest meeting provides international researchers a relaxed,
comfortable environment to learn from informative tutorials on key
developments in security technology, and to collaborate and socialize
with their peers in one of the world's hubs of IT activity - downtown
London.

In addition to the usual one hour tutorials, panel sessions and highly
entertaining 5 minute "lightning" talks, this conference will also
feature a new session called "Elevator Focus Groups". Featuring
several short sessions, these commercial presentations will showcase
new, significantly used, or dramatically innovative products in the
information security realm. Each selected vendor will have a short 10
minute presentation ("elevator pitch"), after which 10 minutes of
audience Q&A and interactive discussion amongst the expert security
practitioners attending will follow.  In this session both the
audience and the vendors can get valuable feedback from world leading
experts. The attendees can get user evaluations and learn from sharing
experiences about real world security applications and the practical
uses of the products - the "focus group." Hence the name: Elevator
Focus Groups.

The EUSecWest conference will also feature the availability of the
Security Masters Dojo expert network security sensei instructors, and
their advanced, and intermediate, hands-on training courses -
featuring small class sizes and practical application excercises to
maximize information transfer.

We would like to announce the opportunity to submit papers, lightning
talk proposals, and elevator focus candidate products for selection by
the EUSecWest technical review committee.

Please make your proposal submissions before December 1st 2006. Slides
for the papers must be submitted by February 1st 2006.

Some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of
speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for
travel and accomodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for
a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and
your biography, papers and, speaking background to
core06 at eusecwest.com. Only slides will be needed for the February
paper deadline, full text does not have to be submitted.

The EUSecWest/core06 conference consists of tutorials on technical
details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices
in the information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national
mix of professionals involved on a daily basis with security work:
security product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network
administrators. We give preference to technical details and new
education for a technical audience.

The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a
lecture theater environment.  The presentations offer speakers the
opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers
while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and
techniques.  The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education
instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but
it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a
valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing
significant new technology in the products.

Paper proposals should consist of the following information:

1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport)
   and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax).
2) Employer and/or affiliations.
3) Brief biography, list of publications and papers.
4) Any significant presentation and educational experience/background.
5) Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph description.
6) Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an 
    important tutorial.
7) Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready. 

Please include the plain text version of this information in your
email as well as any file, pdf, or html attachments.

Please forward the above information to core06 at eusecwest.com to be
considered for placement on the speaker roster, have your lightning
talk scheduled, or submit your product for inclusion in the focus
groups.

Advance discount registration is now available for EUSecWest at
