Who Are You? AUUG'2004 Annual Conference Call For Papers

[David Purdue]

As more devices, companies and people get connected to the Internet,
computer security becomes increasingly important. And often security boils
down to three things:

o Identification - working out who you are dealing with.

o Authentication - confirming you know who you are dealing with.

o Authorisation - letting the known person do what they are allowed to do
  and no more.

With that in mind, AUUG has chosen as the theme for the 2004 conference:
"Who Are You? Identification and Authorisation Issues in Computing." AUUG
invites proposals for papers and tutorials relating to:

o Identification, authentication and authorisation
o Applications of cyptography and cryptographic protocols
o Maintaining privacy
o Achieving anonimity on the Internet
o Internet security
o Other aspects of computer security

We also call for papers relating to topics of general interest to AUUG
members:

o Standards based computing
o Open source projects
o Business cases for open source
o Open source in government
o Technical aspects of Unix, Linux or BSD
o Performance measurement and management
o Software development
o Networking, Internet and the World Wide Web.

Presentations may be given as tutorials, technical papers, or management
studies. Technical papers are designed for those who need in-depth
knowledge, whereas management studies present case studies of real-life
experiences in the conference's fields of interest.

A written paper, for inclusion in the conference proceedings, must
accompany all presentations.

Speakers may select one of two presentation formats:

o Technical presentation: a 30-minute talk, with 10 minutes for questions.

o Management presentation: a 25-30 minute talk, with 10-15 minutes for
  questions (i.e. a total 40 minutes).

Panel sessions will also be timetabled in the conference and speakers
should indicate their willingness to participate, and may like to suggest
panel topics.

Tutorials (held 29-31 August) provide a more thorough presentation, of
either a half-day or full-day duration. They may be of either a technical
or management orientation.

The AUUG'2004 conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to present
your ideas and experiences to an audience with a major influence on the
direction of computing in Australia.



Submission Guidelines
=====================

If you are interested in submitting a paper you should send an extended
abstract (1-3 pages) and a brief biography, and clearly indicate their
preferred presentation format.

If submitting a tutorial proposal you should send an outline of the
tutorial and a brief biography, and clearly indicate whether the tutorial
is of half-day or full-day duration.



Speaker Incentives
==================

Presenters of papers receive free registration to the conference (1-3
September), including social functions, but excluding tutorials.

Tutorial presenters may select 25% of the profit of their session OR free
conference registration. Past experience suggests that a successful
tutorial session generate a reasonable return to the presenter.
