EICC 2022 proceedings will be published by *ACM* in ICPS.

The European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference – EICC 2022 aims 
at establishing a venue for the exchange of information on cybersecurity 
and its many aspects between academics and practitioners in Europe. EICC 
was until 2019 known as the Central European Cybersecurity Conference – 
CECC and has been rebranded to underscore the interdisciplinarity of the 
conference and broaden its reach. EICC 2022 encourages the dialogue 
between computer scientists and researchers in all other fields related 
to cybersecurity, such as behavioral sciences, sociology, criminology, 
investigations and law. Interdisciplinary contributions are especially 
welcome.

EICC 2022 is planned as a face-to-face conference with the possibility 
for remote participation.

EICC 2022 is organized by Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) / 
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.

== Submission guidelines ==

The official language of the conference is English. Papers are limited 
to 6 pages.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another 
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

- *Full papers* reporting on original research findings (5-6 pages)
- *Short papers* reporting on original research findings (2-4 pages)
- *Posters* (extended abstracts) reporting on original research findings 
(1-2 pages)

The conference will offer a *Best paper award* and *Best poster award*. 
The awards will be announced and bestowed at the conference closing 
session. The award will be conferred to the author(s) of awarded papers 
who will be present at the conference. The decision criterion will 
consider both the paper/poster quality and the oral presentation quality.

Papers submitted to EICC 2022 have to use the ACM SigConf template 
(https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Please, read 
template instructions carefully before submitting the paper. The use of 
the Latex template is strongly encouraged. Non-proficient Latex users 
are encouraged to use the Overleaf online collaborative Latex platform 
(ACM Latex template on Overleaf; 
https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ).

The quality of the research papers will be assessed based on its 
originality, significance and clarity.

All submitted research papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing 
process. *Please, make sure that submitted papers do not contain author 
names or obvious self-references.* Please note that the page limit 
applies to papers with authors and not the submitted anonymized version. 
Full papers can exceed the page limit by a maximum of 2 pages. Each 
additional page above the page limit will be charged on top of the 
registration fee.

Each paper will be reviewed by 2-3 reviewers. Afterwards, a discussion 
will be held by the chairs and reviewers to determine the outcomes of 
the peer-review.

Authors of accepted posters should prepare A1 sized posters (portrait or 
landscape) for the poster exhibition. Other designs may be considered. 
Titles of poster submissions should be prefixed with POSTER (e.g., 
POSTER: The role of information sensitivity in adoption of E2EE 
communication software).

Submission of a paper / poster implies that at least one of the authors 
will register and present the paper / poster at the conference if the 
paper / poster is accepted. If an author has more than one accepted 
paper / poster, each additional accepted paper / poster costs the same 
fee as the first.
