The Conference is an European extension of the Annual Security Conference that has been held in Las Vegas (USA) for over a decade. The conference attracts a nice mix of participants from academia, government and industry. Co-organizers for the European 2012 event are Orebro University, Lulea University of Technology, Information Institute and Virginia Commonwealth University. Administrative office for the conference is at Orebro University.</font></p><p><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">The theme of the 2012 event is identity and privacy management. With widespread use of Internet based technologies and the general virtualization of work, the manner in which individuals identify with organizations and the relation enterprises might have with individuals is evolving. Such changes are defining the manner in which privacy is handled, identity is protected and responsibility and accountability established. The 2012 European Security Conference aspires to establish a discourse in this domain.</font></p><h4><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Recommended Topics (but not limited to)</font></h4><ul sizcache="14" sizset="26"><li nodeindex="1"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Theoretical aspects of identity, security and privacy</font></li><li nodeindex="2"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Roles and responsibilities in security management</font></li><li nodeindex="3"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Challenges posed by Web 2.0 and 3.0</font></li><li nodeindex="4"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Access and authentication in information based societies</font></li><li nodeindex="5"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Cases in security management</font></li><li nodeindex="6"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Regulatory and legal aspects of identity, privacy and security</font></li><li nodeindex="7"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Ethical challenges in a networked society</font></li></ul><h4><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Important Dates</font></h4><ul sizcache="14" sizset="30"><li nodeindex="1"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Submission: May 15, 2012</font></li><li nodeindex="2"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Notification Due: June 15, 2012</font></li><li nodeindex="3"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Final Version Due: August 15, 2012</font></li><li nodeindex="4"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Conference dates: September 12-13, 2012</font></li></ul><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">We are proud to announce Steven Furnell, Plymouth University as key note speaker at the conference. </font></div><p><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">For more information about the venue, submissions, programme committee, etc. please visit the conference website at: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.oru.se/hh/esc">www.oru.se/hh/esc</a><br></font></p><p><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101">Karin Hedstrom & Gurpreet Dhillon,Co-Conference Chairs</font></p></div></div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101"><br></font></blockquote><div><br></div></body></html>
