The goal of NESD is to bring together premier practitioners, researchers, students, and funding partners in security, in and around New England. NESD serves as an opportunity to share the latest advances, debate roadmaps and future directions, create new collaborations, and seek new opportunities. More information here: http://infosec.cs.umass.edu/nesd
Over 100 people are scheduled to attend, including researchers from: BAE Systems, BBN Technologies, Boston University, Brown University, Cigitas, Cisco, Colgate University, College of the Holy Cross, Cornell University, George Washington University, Guardian Project, Harvard University, IMDEA Software Institute, Keene State College, MIT, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MITRE, New York University, Northeastern University, Robnett Consultants, RSA Labs, Stony Brook University, Tufts University, UMass Amherst, UMass Lowell, University of Connecticut, University of Vermont, Veracode, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Yale University.
We are interested in all presentations that concern research on computer security. NESD presentations do not need to be about polished or complete results. Proposals for presentations of preliminary work, progress reports on ongoing projects, useful lessons from research that has failed, and tool demos are also welcomed at NESD. For submissions please use https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nesd19. Deadline is March 1, 2019. You will be notified via email by March 8, 2019.
There are 12 slots for presentations in the schedule. If we have more presentation proposals than slots, we will select presentations based on the diversity of the participants' talks, and appeal to a broad audience.
Each slot is 25 minutes long. However, we would like to use an unconventional slot structure. Each speaker will be given 15 minutes to present their material (strict). Then for 5 minutes, members of the audience will form groups of 3-5 people, discuss the talk, filter and form questions. The last 5 minutes of each slot will involve Q&A between the speaker and the audience. This structure encourages members of the audience to interact with each other and exchange opinions, and clarify their understanding of the talk. It is especially beneficial for students as it will allow them to interact with senior researchers. Moreover, the quality of questions filtered up to the speaker is improved.
We invite you to submit a poster proposal as well. Like the talks, posters should concern security and can report on ongoing work. Posters will be displayed all day around the workshop space; there is no particular poster session. We have limited space for posters, and we'll follow the same selection process that we have for presentations.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and CAN BE simultaneously submitted to another journal, conference, or workshop (because we have no published proceedings). The following submissions types are welcome:
- Presentations. Please submit 2--3 paragraphs describing what you intend to present. Do not submit the presentation itself. Please read the description above: you'll have only 15 minutes. Please include the full list of co-authors but point out who will be presenting the work. Be sure to denote that this submission is a presentation and not a poster.
- Posters. Please do not submit the actual poster. Instead submit 1 paragraph describing the topic of your poster. Include a full list of co-authors. At least one must attend NESD. Be sure to denote that this submission is a poster and not a presentation.
You are welcoe to submit a poster and presentation on the same topic.
