Data and applications security and privacy has rapidly expanded as a research field with many important challenges to be addressed. The goal of the ACM Conference on Data and Applications Security (CODASPY) is to discuss novel, exciting research topics in data and application security and privacy and to lay out directions for further research and development in this area.

The conference seeks submissions from diverse communities, including corporate and academic researchers, open-source projects, standardization bodies, governments, system and security administrators, software engineers and application domain experts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Application-layer security policies

- Secure electronic commerce
- Secure information sharing
- Secure knowledge management
- Secure multiparty computations
- Secure software development
- Securing data/apps on untrusted platforms
- Securing the semantic web
- Security and privacy in GIS/spatial data
- Security and privacy in healthcare
- Security policies for databases
- Social computing security and privacy
- Social networking security and privacy
- Trust metrics for applications, data, and users

Submissions that are not accepted as full papers may be invited to appear as short papers or posters.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER AUTHORS

The CODASPY 2013 posters track seeks to quickly disseminate novel, on-going security and privacy research at an initial stage. Poster submissions must include a three-page poster paper and a one-page slide with the poster contents (submitted as attachment) , both as PDF files. Poster papers should use the same format as full-length papers.  Accepted poster papers will be included in the posters section of the conference proceedings.
