TROOPERS18 - Call For Papers (TR18-CFP)
As you are probably already used to, TROOPERS18 Main Conference (14th & 15th March) will feature three tracks: Track 1:"Attack & Research" on Wednesday and Thursday, Track 2: "Defense & Management" also on Wednesday and Thursday, and Track 3: will feature "SAP Security" on Wednesday and "Active Directory" on Thursday. You can also submit talks for our Next Generation Internet event on 12th & 13th of March. This is a 2 day 2 track event featuring a blend of IoT and IPv6 topics.
This call for papers is for security researchers interested in sharing their work with other researchers and a high-level audience (composed of about 60% people from industry, 20% from academia and another 20% from [research] community). We would like to invite everyone with special knowledge in breaking security in whatever area or practical experience in securing complex information systems to present their skills, tools or experience. The CfP will happen in two phases (see below): we will give final notice by December 14, 2017. Submit early and submit (new) talks often ;-).
Submissions
We are mainly interested in talks on:
- Vulnerability research in all flavors
- Embedded Devices
- Anything that is related to cars
- Medical device security
- Security in a Mobile World
- Virtualization & Cloud Stuff
- Industrial Networking

Heavy vendor-pitching will not be welcomed warmly and we reserve the right to ask for modifications of confirmed talks if we have the impression there’s too much of that in a talk.
