Please register your contribution for the Policy 2012 Symposium by January 20, 2012 and send your submission by January 25, 2012. Details about this international symposium follow. Please forgive if you receive multiple postings. CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------- IEEE International Symposium on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks (POLICY 2012) 16-18 July 2012 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA http://www.ieee-policy.org/ Policy 2012 brings together researchers and practitioners working on policy-based systems. POLICY 2012 is the 13th in a series of successful events that have provided a forum for discussion and collaboration between researchers, developers and users of policy-based systems. Organizers of the POLICY 2012 Symposium invites unpublished novel contributions on any aspect of policy-based systems. Papers must describe original work and must not have been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be evaluated for technical contribution, originality and significance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Formal aspects and theory - Models for access control, usage control, trust, privacy - Specifications, refinement, analysis, reasoning - Implementation techniques, architectures, tools - Policy systems for mobile, cloud and ubiquitous computing - Policy-based networking - AI approaches, machine learning, agents, natural languages - HCI and usability aspects - Organisational, ethical, legal aspects, standards - Case studies, real-life deployments and experiences Policy 2012 also invites submissions for demonstrations that illustrate research contributions or innovative applications of policy-based technologies. Those interested in demonstrating a system or application should submit a description following the instructions in the submission information section. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing activities are not appropriate. Important Dates -------------------- Paper Registration deadline: 20 January 2012 Paper submission deadline: 25 January 2012 Author notification: 14 March 2012 Demo submission deadline: 20 February 2012 Demo notification: 14 March 2012 Symposium dates: 16-18 July 2012 Submission Information ---------------------------- Papers under review elsewhere must NOT be submitted to Policy 2012.
