from the Springer's LNCS series. 

IWSEC 2010 consists of the following 3 tracks:
  Track I  : Foundations of Security
  Track II : Security in Networks and Ubiquitous Computing Systems
  Track III: Security in Real Life Applications
Track III, a new track from this year, focuses on practical 
applications on the real life.

[Overview]

  IWSEC 2010 will select submissions from three tracks, and 
the review and selection processes of these tracks will be 
independent of each other. Track III (security in real life 
applications) is a new track designed to allow researchers 
and practitioners to share their research and experience. 
We welcome papers that highlight the practical aspects of 
security technologies and industrial case studies.

[Instructions for Authors]

  Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and 
not submitted to other conferences or journals for 
consideration for publication. Papers must be written 
in English and be fully anonymous with no author names, 
affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. 
They should be at most 16 pages long in total, in 
standard LNCS format except for author names and 
affiliations. Papers should be sufficiently intelligible 
and self-contained without appendices so that PC members 
can review papers without them. 

  Accepted full papers will be presented at the workshop 
and will be published in the LNCS conference proceedings 
series. Papers accepted as short papers will also be
presented at the workshop and will be published in the 
locally printed proceedings with an official ISBN number. 
At least one author of each accepted paper is required 
to register with the workshop and present the paper.

  Each paper can be submitted to one of the three tracks. 
The review and selection processes will be done according 
to the policy of the track. For instance, Track III emphasizes 
the practicability of the technology. 

[Best Paper Awards]

  Prizes will be awarded to the authors of the best paper(s) 
and the best student paper(s).
