CALL FOR PAPERS 
2012 INFORMATION SECURITY CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE (InfoSecCD'12) 

October 12-13, 2012, Kennesaw State University, Georgia 

InfoSecCD aims to provide academics, researchers, and practitioners an opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of Information Security Curriculum Development. Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of information security education are solicited for submission to the 2012 Information Security Curriculum Development Conference. 

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the design, development, implementation and best-practices in information security education or for best-practices in the design, implementation and management of information security or digital forensics. 

Theoretical papers must make convincing argument for the practical significance of the results. Theory must be justified by compelling examples illustrating its application. The primary criterion for appropriateness is demonstrated practical relevance. The conference will include three tracks: pedagogy, practice, and student. Note: Work in Progress papers can be accepted if substantial progress and expected completion by the conference date is demonstrated. 

All submissions go to the conference paper management site (provided by Microsoft Research) 
available at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/INFOSECCD2012 \ 

To submit a paper, go to the CMT Microsoft site, register as an author and upload. Additional details are provided by the system. Please note that all submissions must use the ACM approved format available in the template downloadable from http://infosec.kennesaw.edu/InfoSecCD/InfoSecCD_ACM_Template.docx .

Pedagogy and Practice Tracks 
Contributions are solicited for InfoSec areas including, but not limited to pedagogical issues and best practices in the instruction of or practice of: foundations, risk management, technology (firewalls, IDS, etc.), digital forensics, access control, and biometrics cryptography. Also included are general pedagogical issues in InfoSec instruction, configuration of InfoSec labs, computer law and ethics, and other related areas. 
Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper). Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Author names and affiliations should only appear on the cover page. 
Authors may only be a co-author on a maximum of 3 papers submitted to the conference, and on only 2 accepted for publication. 

Student Track 
Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to submit papers. Papers should be clearly marked as student submissions. Students may author papers on various aspects of learning or practicing information security. 
Papers should be at most 10 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper). Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Author names and affiliations should only appear on the cover page. 
In order to be considered a student paper and thus eligible for the student best paper recognition, the paper must be written exclusively by student authors. 

Note: All authors please use the Author Template available from http://infosec.kennesaw.edu/InfoSecCD/ 
Proceedings contents will be submitted to the ACM Digital Library. Every author who submits will be expected to serve as a reviewer for other submissions. At least one author must register for the conference by August 15 for the paper to be included in the proceedings and ACM Press publication.
