GREPSEC: A Computer Security Workshop for Women and Underrepresented Groups
(target audience: graduate students; if space is available, some undergraduates may be invited) Security research is a great field that has not attracted women and minorities in any great numbers, despite the wonderful opportunities available. We'd like to change that --- and so does NSF, CRA-W/CDC, and Microsoft (among others). We're pleased to announce GREPSEC, a computer security workshop for women and underrepresented groups. Come and learn about why great minds are drawn to security. GREPSEC is a day-and-a-half-long workshop scheduled for May 18-19, 2013 in San Francisco, occurring just prior to the annual IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. The workshop will consist of a number of talks by leading academic and industry researchers in computer security. (A list of speakers may be found at: http://www.ieee-security.org/grepsec/schedule.html.) The workshop will include a number of research talks as well as panels looking at research from various perspectives including information assurance from a hardware and software point of view, picking good research problems, and privacy from both a policy and technical perspective. There will be breaks to afford students time to meet informally with the speakers. Funding for this meeting has been provided by the US National Science Foundation, a grant from CRA-W/CDC, and Microsoft Research, and travel funding will be available for graduate students at US institutions. If space permits, we may admit some advanced undergraduates. Application information can be found at: http://www.ieee-security.org/grepsec/apply.html . Applications are due March 1. Applicants will be informed by April 1 whether they have been admitted and the size of their travel award. Workshop participants will be encouraged to attend the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy meeting, which will begin on May 19. We regret that workshop travel funding cannot cover participation in the IEEE Symposium. If you have questions about the workshop, please direct them to one of Susan, Hilarie, or Terry ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). We encourage all eligible students to apply. Please feel free to share this mail with potential candidates.
