**************************************** Website: https://www.acsac.org **************************************** Deadline for submission of Technical Papers, Case Studies, Panels, and Workshops: June 23, 2021 Deadline for submission of Student Conferenceship applications: September 15, 2021 Deadline for submission of Posters and Works in Progress: November 7, 2021 Conference Dates: December 6-10, 2021 The 37th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC 2021) will be held at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, TX, USA. ACSAC is monitoring the evolving situation with COVID-19. While we are anticipating holding the physical conference, we are also planning to accommodate remote presenters in case any authors of accepted contributions are unable to travel to the venue. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ACSAC invites you to submit your work to the conference. As an internationally recognized forum where practitioners, researchers, and developers meet to learn and to exchange practical ideas and experiences in computer and network security, we welcome your contributions. In addition to peer-reviewed papers on new work, we also welcome case studies on real-world applications, panels featuring interactive expert discussions, posters and work in progress talks on new and emerging topics, and workshops consisting of 1-2 days sessions on hot topics. The deadline for submission of Technical Papers, Case Studies, Panels, and Workshops is June 23, 2021. Authors of technical papers accepted at ACSAC 2021 will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of the ACM Digital Threats: Research and Practice (DTRAP) journal. We are planning to accommodate remote presenters in case they are unable to travel to the venue, and would thus encourage submitting your work regardless of travel restrictions. See https://www.acsac.org/2021/submissions/ for additional information. HARD TOPIC THEME — DEPLOYABLE AND IMPACTFUL SECURITY: We especially invite submissions on research results and technologies that are more practical and applied, and can be potentially deployed, where they can have a direct impact on improving the quality of cybersecurity in real-world systems. Deployable and impactful security generally involves the development of defensive solutions, rather than simply exposing weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The work may involve prototyping, defining metrics, benchmark evaluation, and experimental comparison with state-of-the-art approaches in testbeds or real-world pilots, possibly with operational data. While ACSAC has always solicited work on applied security, by having it as a hard topic theme we hope to put greater emphasis on deployability and impactfulness. More information on the hard topic theme is at https://www.acsac.org/2021/submissions/hardtopic/ ARTIFACT SUBMISSION: To help support the reproducibility for research results, ACSAC encourages authors of accepted papers to submit software they have developed and datasets they have used to perform their research and make them publicly available to the entire community. We believe that this is an important initiative that can help the entire community increase its reputation, and make research in the security field proceed faster by taking advantage of systems previously built by other researchers. Accepted papers with artifacts that have been tested by the evaluation committee will receive a special mention during the conference and on the ACSAC web page, an ACM Artifacts Evaluated badge on their papers, and a Distinguished Paper Award. See https://www.acsac.org/2021/submissions/papers/artifacts/ for more information about artifact submission and evaluation.
