==================
CALL FOR PAPERS
==================

The SpaCCS 2020 conference is the 13th event in the series of 
conferences which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in 
computation, communication and storage. SpaCCS is now recognized as the 
main regular event of the world that is covering many dimensions 
including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, 
regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, 
encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental 
projects, and commercial application systems for computation, 
communication and storage. As applications of computer systems and 
networks have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of 
security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The 
conference will provide a forum for the world-class researchers to 
gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends 
in the highly challenging research fields.

Paper Submission
Paper Submission
==================

All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference 
website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spaccs2020) with PDF 
format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that 
have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or 
a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in 
English, must not exceed 14 pages (or up to 20 pages with the pages over 
length charge) in Springer LNCS format 
(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines), 
including tables, figures, references and appendices. Papers will be 
selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and 
clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission 
of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be 
accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the 
conference to present the work.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer LNCS (EI Indexed). 
Best Paper Awards will be presented to high quality papers. 
Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in SCI 
& EI indexed prestigious journals (More special issues will be added later).
