CALL FOR PAPERS, SREIS 2002

Second Symposium on

               Requirements Engineering for Information Security

                  Raleigh, North Carolina, October 15-16, 2002

Sponsored by Purdue University CERIAS, in cooperation with North Carolina State
University eCommerce Learning Center, ACM SIGSOFT & SIGSAC (pending) & National
Institute of Standards and Technology.

Security requirements for new eCommerce and Internet  applications  exceed  the
traditional requirements for network security and traditional software systems.
Security requirements are more complex and increasingly  critical.   Informally
stated and de facto requirements are often of critical importance in the design
and operation of these systems, but are frequently not taken into account.  The
second  symposium  on requirements engineering for information security invites
papers on  a  diversity  of  topics,  particularly  ones  that  point  out  new
directions. Theoretical, experimental, and experience papers are all welcome.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
SREIS provides researchers and practitioners from various  disciplines  with  a
highly  interactive forum to discuss security and privacy-related requirements.
Specifically, we encourage attendance from those in the fields of  requirements
engineering, software engineering, information systems, information and network
security and trusted systems as well  as  those  interested  in  approaches  to
analyzing,  specifying,  and  testing  requirements  to  increase  the level of
security provided to users interacting with pervasive  commerce,  research  and
government  systems.   Some  travel  funding  for  graduate  students  will  be
available.

FORMAT
The symposium will consist of  a  keynote  address,  presentations  of  papers,
panels,  and tutorials.  The goal is to stimulate interaction and thought about
intersecting areas of requirements engineering, security, and policy research.

TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
- solutions to known RE problems as applied to security and privacy
- RE for confidentiality, integrity, and availability
- industrial problem statements
- generalizations from individual industrial experiences
- RE for trusted Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems
- empirical studies of industrial RE practice
- capture and expression of informal and ad hoc requirements
- managing conflicting requirements of operational effectiveness and security
- methods for the specification and analysis of security requirements
- methods for ensuring compliance between requirements and policies

NIST NATIONAL FORUM TO FOLLOW SREIS
The SREIS will be followed by the Second Annual  Government-Industry  Forum  on
Strategies   for   the   Development  of  Security  Requirements  and  Security
Specifications for Critical Information Technologies. The forum, hosted by  the
National  Institute  of  Standards  and  Technology  (NIST)  will take place on
October 17, 2002 from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.  For further  information,  please
