============================================================

The organizing committee of the 25th ACM Symposium on Access Control Models
and Technologies (SACMAT 2020) invites contributions on all aspects of
access control. The symposium will provide participants the opportunity to
present work at different levels of development, from early work on
promising ideas to fully developed technical results as well as system
demonstrations. The symposium will feature a Best Paper Award. The program
will include keynote talks, research paper presentations, demos, a panel,
and a poster session.

Paper submissions due: February 10, 2020  *** Extended to February 17 ***

Author feedback about initial reviews: March 25-27, 2020

Notification to authors: April 10, 2020

Demo and Poster submissions due: April 12, 2020

Demo and Poster notification: April 20, 2020

Camera-ready due for all accepted submissions: April 24, 2020

CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS

========================

Papers offering novel research contributions are solicited for submission.
Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and published by the ACM
in the symposium proceedings. In addition to the regular research track,
this year SACMAT will again host a special track: Blue Sky/Vision Track.
Researchers are invited to submit papers describing promising new ideas and
challenges of interest to the community as well as access control needs
emerging from other fields. We are particularly looking for potentially
disruptive and new ideas which can shape the research agenda for the next
10 years. We encourage submissions that present ideas that may have not
been completely developed and experimentally evaluated. Submissions to the
regular track covering any relevant area of access control are welcomed.
Areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Applications

- Authentication

- Big data

- Biometrics

- Blockchain

- Cloud computing and edge computing

- Cryptographic approaches

- Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT)

- Databases and data management

- Data leakage prevention

- Data protection on untrusted infrastructure

- Distributed and mobile systems

- Economic models and game theory

- Enforcement

- Hardware enhanced security, trusted execution environments

- Identity management

- Machine learning

- Mechanisms, systems, and tools

- Models and extensions

- Multimedia

- Network access control

- Obligations

- Privacy

- Policy engineering and policy mining

- Policy analysis and policy verification

- Requirements

- Risk and uncertainty

- Theoretical foundations

- Trust management

- Usability

REGULAR TRACK PAPER SUBMISSION AND FORMAT

=========================================

Papers must be written in English. Authors are required to use the ACM
format for papers, using the two-column SIG Proceedings Template (the
sigconf template for LaTex) in the following link:

https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions

The length of the paper in the proceedings format must not exceed twelve US
letter pages formatted for 8.5" x 11" paper.  The file should be in PDF
format and no more than 5MB in size. It is the responsibility of the
authors to ensure that their submission will print easily on simple default
configurations. The submission must be anonymous, so information that might
identify the authors - including author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, or obvious self-citations - must be excluded. It is the
authors' responsibility to ensure that their anonymity is preserved when
citing their own work. Submissions should be made to the EasyChair
conference management system by the paper submission deadline of February
10, 2020, at this URL:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacmat20

All submissions must contain a significant original contribution. That is,
submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or
workshop. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same work is not
allowed. Wherever appropriate, relevant related work, including that of the
authors, must be cited. Submissions that are not accepted as full papers
may be invited to appear as short papers. At least one author of each
accepted paper much register for the conference prior to the camera-ready
deadline.

BLUE SKY/VISION TRACK PAPER SUBMISSION AND FORMAT

=================================================

All submissions to this track should be in the same format as for the
regular track, but the length must not exceed ten US letter pages, and the
submission should not be anonymized.  Submissions to this track should be
submitted to the EasyChair conference management system by the same
deadline as for the regular track.

CALL FOR POSTERS

================

SACMAT 2020 will include a poster session to promote discussion of ongoing
projects among researchers in the access control field. Posters can cover
preliminary or exploratory work with interesting ideas, or research
projects in early stages with promising results in all aspects of access
control. Authors interested in displaying a poster must submit a poster
abstract in the same format as for the regular track, but the length must
not exceed three US letter pages, and the submission should not be
anonymized. The title should start with "Poster:". Accepted poster
abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings. Submissions
should be emailed to the poster chair, Edelmira Pasarella <
edelmira at cs.upc.edu>, by Apr 1, 2020, 5PM PDT. The subject line should
include "SACMAT 2020 Poster:" and the poster title.

CALL FOR DEMOS

==============

A demonstration proposal should clearly describe (1) the overall
architecture of the system or technology to be demonstrated, and (2) one or
more demonstration scenarios that describe how the audience, interacting
with the demonstration system or the demonstrator, will gain an
understanding of the underlying technology. Submissions will be evaluated
based on the motivation of the work behind the use of the system or
technology to be demonstrated and its novelty.

Demonstration proposals should be in the same format as for the regular
track, but the length must not exceed four US letter pages, and the
submission should not be anonymized. A two-page description of the
demonstration will be included in the conference proceedings.  Submissions
should be emailed to the Demonstrations Chair, Edelmira Pasarella <
edelmira at cs.upc.edu>, by Apr 1, 2020, 5pm PDT. The subject line should
include "SACMAT 2020 Demo:" and the demo title.
