*******************************************************
WISTP2007 Background and Goals:
With the rapid technological development of information technologies,
computer systems and especially embedded systems are becoming more
mobile and ubiquitous, increasingly interfacing with the physical world.
Ensuring the security of these complex and yet, resource constraint
systems has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges.
The aim of this first workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in related areas and to encourage interchange and
cooperation between the research community and the industrial/consumer
community.
The workshop will consist of technical paper presentations, one special
session for student papers and five invited talks.
To contribute to the structuring of the community, a networking meeting
to discuss EU FP7 projects proposals will take place just after the
workshop.

Submission Details:
Authors are invited to submit original papers (written in english) not
previously published nor submitted in parallel for publication to any
other conference, workshop or journal. All submissions will be subjected
to thorough blind review by at least three reviewers (if the paper
involved a Program Committee member, the paper will be reviewed at least
by five reviewers). All submitted papers should be anonymous with no
author(s) names, affiliations, acknowledgments, nor obvious references.
Each paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of
keywords, following the template indicated by Springer at:
www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
The papers will be in .pdf format, at most 10 pages long excluding
bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 14 pages long in
total, using at least 11-point fonts with reasonable margins. As the
reader should not be required to read any appendices, the paper should
be intelligible even without them.
20 papers will be accepted for presentation at the workshop (they will be
included in the proceedings) and 12 additional papers will be selected to
be presented as A1 poster at the workshop (they will NOT be included in
the proceedings).
If a submitted paper is mainly the result of the work of a student author,
this paper could have the chance to be selected as "Best student paper"
(even if the paper has been written with senior co-authors).
To participate to this selection process, please add the word "STUDENT" in the
affiliation field in the submission form.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with
the Conference and present the paper. For authors presenting multiple
papers, one normal registration is valid for up to two papers.
For electronic paper submission please use the following URL:

*******************************************************
Awards:
* Best student paper: 400€ + a CD-Rom version of the Handbook of
Information Security
* Best workshop paper: 400€ + a CD-Rom version of the Handbook of
Information Security
* Best innovative technology: Gift + a CD-Rom version of the Handbook
of Information Security

Authors of the best works in the Smart Card domain selected by the PC
co-chairs of the international conference Cardis'2008 (Fran�ois-Xavier
Standaert, Gilles Grimaud) will be encouraged to submit extended and
significantly revised versions at Cardis'2008.

Some accepted papers written by French-speaking authors will be published
in a journal of the SEE (in a french version).

Opportunities for students:
To help the students looking for a PhD thesis or a postdoctoral
position, we will propose them to add a colorized sticker on their
badge. In the same way, we will propose to persons offering these
positions to add a sticker with a different color. We hope this
mechanism will help to support the exchanges between young and senior
researchers.
