CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version is here)
The Second Workshop on Advances in Trusted Computing (WATC), at Tokyo, Japan, sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan (METI) under contract, New-generation Information Security R&D Program, will be devoted to the dissemination and further development of the boundary areas between trusted computing and information security. This is the second installment of an informal workshop series that started in March 2006. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various areas working on trusted computing and to be instrumental in shaping the identity of the Trusted Computing community. The workshop is open to all interested people.
Conference Scope
Modern computer systems in large-scale, decentralized, and heterogeneous environments are now facing the diverse threats such as from viruses and other malware. Security research seeks to make computers safer and less vulnerable to those IT threats, and thus more dependable. The goal of Trusted Computing is to allow computers and servers to offer improved computer security relative to that what is currently available.
The workshop solicits technical papers offering research contributions spanning from foundations, theory and tools of trusted computing to up-to-date issues. Papers may present theory, applications, or practical experiences on topics including, but not limited to:

Instructions for Paper Submissions
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere. Accepted papers require the attendance of at least one author. The workshop proceedings will be available at the workshop and via its website. The post-workshop proceedings which includes the full version of the selected papers presented in this workshop is being planed. The length of a submission as a regular technical paper should be at most 12 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices. Short papers for work-in-progress, case studies, or position papers should be up to 6 pages.
Any reasonable format will be allowed, but the final camera-ready version of the paper should be at most 15 pages. The submission should begin with the type of paper (regular or short), the title, the author list, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read the appendices; and the paper should be intelligible without them. Papers must be submitted electronically by August 20, 2006. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by September 30, 2006. Submissions should preferably be in PDF format, viewable with Adobe Acrobat reader. Submissions should be sent as an attachment by email to
