Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop

The goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects of
information-theoretic security. To this end, ICITS 2012 will consist
of two types of contributed presentations. The conference track will
act as a traditional conference (original papers with published
proceedings). The workshop track will operate more like an informal
workshop, with papers that have appeared elsewhere or that consist of
work in progress.

1) Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must
Ìýbe original papers that have not previously appeared in published
Ìýform. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will
Ìýalso be published in the conference proceedings (which will appear
Ìýin Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series). We note
Ìýthat simultaneous submission to journals is acceptable, but
Ìýsimultaneous submission to other conferences with published
Ìýproceedings is not.

2) Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work
Ìýfrom a variety of fields (especially those where conference
Ìýpublication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the
Ìýcommittee also solicits "workshop track" papers. Accepted papers
Ìýwill be presented orally at the conference but will not appear in
Ìýthe proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously
Ìýappeared (or are currently submitted elsewhere) are acceptable, as
Ìýlong as they first appeared after January 1, 2011. Papers that
Ìýdescribe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same
Ìýstandards of quality will apply to conference and workshop papers.
