CALL FOR PAPERS 
2015 INFORMATION SECURITY CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE (InfoSecCD2015) October 10-11 * , 2015, Kennesaw State University, Georgia 

InfoSecCD seeks to provide academics, researchers, and practitioners with 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 2015 InfoSecCD 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The primary focus is on high-quality, original, unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences.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 supporting literature and 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 that work in progress papers can be accepted if substantial progress has already been made and completion is expected by the conference date.
