2005 IFIP WG 1.7, ACM SIGPLAN and GI FoMSESS
Workshop on Issues in the Theory of Security (WITS'05)

  January 10-11, 2005, Long Beach, California
co-located with POPL'05


OVERVIEW OF WITS

WITS is the official workshop organised by the IFIP WG 1.7 on "Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and Design", established to promote the investigation on the theoretical foundations of security, discovering and promoting new areas of application of theoretical techniques in computer security and supporting the systematic use of formal techniques in the development of security related applications. The members of WG hold their annual workshop as an open event to which all researchers working on the theory of computer security are invited. This is the fourth workshop of the series. We are sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, and plan to be organized in cooperation with GI working group FoMSESS.  Proceedings from of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library.  We are also planning a special issue of the Journal of Computer Security on the workshop.

The call for papers for WITS may be found at http://chacs.nrl.navy.mil/wits05cfp
