=================================================================
ACM CCS 2019

The 26th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security 
in London, UK, November 11-15, 2019

http://ccs2019.sigsac.org

CALL FOR PAPERS

=================================================================

The Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) seeks submissions \
presenting novel contributions related to all real-world aspects of computer security \
and privacy. Theoretical papers must make a convincing case for the relevance of \
their results to practice. Authors are encouraged to write the abstract and \
introduction of their paper in a way that makes the results accessible and compelling \
to a general computer-security researcher. In particular, authors should bear in mind \
that anyone on the program committee may be asked to give an opinion about any paper.

IMPORTANT: CCS will have three review cycles in 2019: the first with a submission \
deadline of January 31, the second with a submission deadline of May 15, and the \
third with a tentative submission deadline of September 1. The third review cycle is \
only for papers invited for resubmission from the first two cycles; no new \
submissions will be considered. Papers rejected from the first review cycle may not \
be submitted again (even in revised form) to the second review cycle.   
Paper Submission Information
-----------------------------

All submissions must be received by 11:59 PM AoE (UTC-12) on the day of the \
corresponding deadline (January 31, May 15, and September 1) through a submission \
site to be announced. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers \
that have been published, accepted for publication, or simultaneously in submission \
to a journal, conference, or workshop with published proceedings.  All submissions \
should be properly anonymized, removing all identifiable information whenever \
possible including obvious self-references.  Papers not properly anonymized may be \
rejected without review.

All submitted papers will be evaluated based upon their merits, particularly their \
importance to practical aspects of computer and communications security and privacy, \
novelty, quality of execution, and presentation. For papers that might raise ethical \
concerns, authors are expected to convince reviewers that proper procedures (such as \
IRB approval) have been followed and due diligence has been made to minimize \
potential harm. 

For each submission to one of the main review cycles, one of the following decisions \
                will be made:
- Accept: Papers in this category will be accepted for publication in the proceedings \
and presentation at the conference, possibly after making minor changes with the \
                oversight of a shepherd.
- Major Revision: Papers in this category are considered to be promising but need \
additional work (e.g., new experiments, proofs, or implementations), after which they \
will be re-evaluated. Authors may choose to resubmit such papers, with appropriate \
revisions, to another review cycle of this conference in 2019, in which case they \
                should clearly explain how the revisions address the comments of the \
                reviewers. 
- Reject: Papers in this category are not allowed to resubmit to CCS in 2019. 

Authors of accepted papers must ensure that their papers will be presented at the \
conference. 

Paper Format
-------------

Submissions must be single PDF files, no more than 12 pages long in double-column ACM \
format (see https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler \
version at https://github.com/acmccs/format), excluding the bibliography, well-marked \
appendices, and supplementary material. Note that reviewers are not required to read \
the appendices or any supplementary material. Authors should not change the font or \
the margins of the ACM format. Submissions not following the required format may be \
rejected without review. 

Revised submissions should come with a summary to highlight the changes that have \
been made and explain how these changes address key review comments.   
Conflicts of Interest
----------------------

The conference requires cooperation from both authors and program-committee members \
to ensure a fair review process. For this purpose, authors must report all \
program-committee members who, in their opinion, have a conflict of interest and \
therefore may not be able to provide an unbiased review. Mandatory declared conflicts \
of interest include current or former doctoral advisor/advisee, members of the same \
organization, close family members and recent paper collaborators. For other CoI, \
authors are required to explain the nature of the conflicts in submissions, which are \
subject to the program co-chairs' reviews. The chairs also reserve the right to \
request further explanations and can remove the conflicts when necessary. 

Program-committee members who have a genuine conflict of interest with a paper, \
including the program co-chairs, will be excluded from evaluation and discussion of \
that paper. When a program co-chair is conflicted, the other co-chair will be \
responsible for managing that paper. When both program co-chairs are in conflict, a \
committee member will be appointed to handle the paper. Program co-chairs are not \
allowed to be authors or co-authors of any submissions.
