The ASIAN conference series provides a forum for researchers throughout Asia to present cutting-edge results in yearly-themed areas of Computer Science, to discuss advances in these fields, and to interact with researchers from other continents. The 2007 edition focuses on computer and network security.
Networked computer systems stand at the core of today's information society: by providing fast access to huge quantities of information, they enable higher productivity at a much higher convenience than ever in the past. They also provide a substantial opportunity for abuse. The closely related areas of Network and Computer Security are concerned with mitigating this risk and preventing disruption, fraud, disclosure, etc. The former tends to concentrate on the infrastructure, while the latter deals with everything else. In recent years, they have made enormous progress both in our theoretical understanding of what security is and in the development of practical protection mechanisms. Yet, they are engaged in a continuing arms race with an underground army of ever more sophisticated attackers intent to bypass whatever shield protects a system. This makes network and computer security one of the most active fields in today's scientific landscape.
New results in the fields of computer and network security are welcome. Also
welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions
and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories and practices. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:

Invited Speakers
It has been a tradition of ASIAN to invite three of the most influential researchers in the focus area, one from Asia, one from Europe and one from the Americas, to discuss their work and their vision for the field. We are honored that the following members of the community have accepted this invitation.
- Joshua Guttman, MITRE (USA)
- Andrei Sabelfeld, Chalmers University (Sweden)
- Kazuhiko Kato, University of Tsukuba (Japan)
Submission Instructions
Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF); papers submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered. Submissions can be of two types:
- Regular papers are meant to describe solid new research results. They can be up to 15 pages long in LNCS style, including figures, bibliography and appendices.
- Short papers are intended to report on interesting work in progress. They can be at most 7 pages long in the LNCS style.
Papers can be electronically submitted by visiting http://www.easychair.org/ASIAN07/. Prospective authors are required to register a title and an abstract a week before the paper submission deadline (see below).
As with the previous editions, the proceedings of ASIAN'07 will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. They will be available at the conference.
Participation
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one will be present at the symposium. Papers that do not adhere to this policy will be removed from the proceedings.Important Dates
