The 25th USENIX Security Symposium will be held August 10–12, 2016, in Austin, TX. All researchers are encouraged to submit papers covering novel and scientifically significant practical works in computer security. T...

The 2016 USENIX Summit on Hot Topics in Security (HotSec '16) will be held on Tuesday, August 9, 2016, in conjunction with the 25th USENIX Security Symposium in Austin, TX. HotSec aims to bring together researchers across computer security disciplines to discuss the state of the art, with emphasis on future directions and emerging areas. HotSec '16 is not issuing a traditional "Call for Papers." Instead, leading researchers will be invited to...

The 2016 USENIX Advances in Security Education Workshop (ASE ’16) is a new workshop, co-located with the 25th USENIX Security Symposium, designed to be a top-tier venue for cutting-edge research, best practices, and experimental curricula in computer security education. ASE is the evolution of the USENIX Summit on Gaming, Games and Gamification (3GSE), expanded to welcome a wider range of contributions to security education research. Th...

Join us for the 10th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '16).WOOT aims to present a broad picture of offense and its contributions, bringing together researchers and practitioners in all areas of computer security. Offensive security has changed from a hobby to an industry. No longer an exercise for isolated enthusiasts, offensive security is today a large-scale operation managed by organized, capitalized actors. Meanwhile, the l...

Join us in Austin, TX, on August 8, 2016 for the 9th Workshop on Cyber Security Experimentation and Test. CSET '16 invites submissions on cyber security evaluation, experimentation, measurement, metrics, data, simulations, and testbeds. The science of cyber security poses significant challenges. For example, experiments must recreate relevant, realistic features in order to be meaningful, yet identifying those features and modeling them is ve...

Join us in Denver, CO, June 22–24, 2016, for the Twelfth Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS 2016). This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners in human computer interaction, security, and privacy. The program will feature technical papers, workshops and tutorials, a poster session, panels and invited talks, and lightning talks. Interested in participating? The deadline for...

The 2016 USENIX Annual Technical Conference will again bring together leading systems researchers for cutting-edge systems research and unlimited opportunities to gain insight into a variety of must-know topics, including virtualization, system and network management and troubleshooting, cloud computing, security, privacy, and trust, mobile and wireless, and more.

The 8th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing (HotCloud '16) will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working on cloud computing technologies to share their perspectives, report on recent developments, discuss research in progress, and identify new/emerging "hot" trends in this important area. While cloud computing has gained traction over the past few years, many challenges remain in the design,...

Last March, we held the second SREcon, a conference focused on site reliability and production systems at scale, with 370 attendees. The demand for SREcon16 is high, and we are looking for experts in the site reliability space to drive another outstanding conference. SREcon16 will take place on April 7–8, 2016, in Santa Clara, CA. Last year, we added a second day to cover more subjects; based on last year's success, we've decided to keep...
