Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop
The goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects of
information-theoretic security. To this end, ICITS 2012 will consist
of two types of contributed presentations. The conference track will
act as a traditional conference (original papers with published
proceedings). The workshop track will operate more like an informal
workshop, with papers that have appeared elsewhere or that consist of
work in progress.
1) Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must
be original papers that have not previously appeared in published
form. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will
also be published in the conference proceedings (which will appear
in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series). We note
that simultaneous submission to journals is acceptable, but
simultaneous submission to other conferences with published
proceedings is not.
2) Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work
from a variety of fields (especially those where conference
publication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the
committee also solicits "workshop track" papers. Accepted papers
will be presented orally at the conference but will not appear in
the proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously
appeared (or are currently submitted elsewhere) are acceptable, as
long as they first appeared after January 1, 2011. Papers that
describe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same
standards of quality will apply to conference and workshop papers.
