Would you like to share a provocative opinion, interesting preliminary work, or a cool idea that will provoke discussion? The USENIX Security technical sessions will include slots for work-in-progress (WiPs) reports and a poster session. WiPs are the last session of the conference; posters will be presented during the pool-side reception a day earlier. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. To submit, please send a proposal (one page or less, PS or PDF, please) via email to sec04wips@usenix.org by August 2, 2004—new extended deadline! Note that we have a limited number of slots available for WiPs and Posters; proposals received by the deadline will be considered with a higher priority than those received late. Please indicate if you wish your proposal to be considered for a WiP report, a poster session, or either; if you choose either, you may specify a preference for WiP or Poster.

Make sure to include your name, names of collaborators, all affiliations, and the title of your WiP or poster. All accepted abstracts will be posted on this Web site; final WiP and poster presentations will also be posted to the conference Web site after the conference is over. The time available for WiPs will be distributed among the presenters, with each speaker allocated between 5 and 10 minutes. This time limit will be strictly enforced. The schedule of presentations will be posted at the Symposium and on this Web site. Poster presenters will have the entirety of the evening reception to discuss their work with attendees.

You will be notified if your WiP or poster was accepted by August 5, 2004. If your WiP is accepted, you will have to email your presentation (PowerPoint or PDF only) by August 8th to sec04wips@usenix.org. All WiP presentations will be verified, pre-loaded onto, and presented using a single laptop.
