High-quality poster presentations are an integral part of SOUPS. We seek poster abstracts describing recent or ongoing research related to usable privacy and security. SOUPS will include a poster session in which authors will exhibit their posters. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed to symposium participants and made available on the symposium Web site. Interactive demos alongside posters are welcome and encouraged. We also welcome authors of recent papers on usable privacy and security (2015 to 2016) to present their work at the SOUPS poster session. Poster acceptance will be determined by the poster chairs and jury. At the conference, best posters will be honored with prizes awarded by the poster jury and SOUPS attendees.
Poster submission requirements:
- Poster abstract. In the SIGCHI extended abstracts format, at most 4 pages (excluding references). For posters on previously published papers, please submit a document with the full bibliographical citation (title, authors, venue, etc.), a link to the published (official) version, and an abstract. All submissions must be in PDF format. Poster submissions should not be anonymized.
- Poster draft. All submissions (including recently published research) must include a draft of the poster to receive feedback before the conference. Presented posters should be sized 36x48 inches, but should be scaled down to normal size (A4 or letter) for submission as a PDF.
- Demo requirements (optional). If you would like to present a demo alongside your poster, please describe your requirements (table, power outlet, etc.) in the appropriate field of the submission system.
- Submission. Submit your poster using the electronic submission page: https://soups16posters.usenix.hotcrp.com.
Please use the correct template and follow formatting instructions when preparing your poster abstract to reduce the need for revision after acceptance.
Submissions will close at 5:00 p.m. PDT on Monday, May 16, 2016. Contact soups16-posters@lists.andrew.cmu with questions.

Panels
Panels Chair
Tim McKay, Kaiser Permanente
- Panel proposal submission deadline: Sunday, February 7, 2016 Deadline extended!
SOUPS is seeking proposals for panels. A good panel focuses on an issue of current concern, and has a strong and clear point of contention in the topic, in the questions, and in the panelist points of view. Full proposals should contain a title, description of the topic, and suggested panelists (with pertinent biographical information). We encourage panels structured as debates rather than just a series of short talks. We are also interested in ideas for panels you would like to see on the program, even if you do not wish to be a panel organizer. Send suggestions or proposals for panels to soups16panels@usenix.org.
Invited Talks
Invited Talks Chair
Yang Wang, Syracuse University
- Speaker suggestion submission deadline: Sunday, February 7, 2016 Deadline extended!
We're looking for ideas for invited speakers. Please suggest a speaker you would like to hear from, or have heard recently with something provocative or visionary to say on the topic of usable security and privacy.
Send suggestions for invited speakers to soups16it@usenix.org.

A continuing feature of SOUPS is a session of 5-minute talks and 5- to 10-minute demos. These could include emerging hot topics, preliminary research results, practical problems encountered by end users or industry practitioners, a lesson learned, a research challenge that could benefit from feedback, a war story, ongoing research, a success, a failure, a future experiment, tips and tricks, a pitfall to avoid, exciting visualization, new user interface or interaction paradigm related to security and privacy. etc. Demo presentations should convey the main idea of the interface and one or more scenarios or use cases. If you would like to participate in the lightning talk and demo session, please email soups16lightning@usenix.org with your name, affiliation, the title, and a brief abstract (up to 200 words) of your lightning talk or demo.
