***** ABOUT

The first Foundations & Practice of Security (FPS) Symposium was held in 2008, following the Canada-France Meeting on Security held at the Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, in 2007. Since then, the FPS Symposium has been held annually, alternating Canadian and French locations. After the previous meetings took place in Grenoble, Toronto, Paris, Montréal, La Rochelle, Clermont-Ferrand, Québec City, Nancy, Toulouse, Ottawa, Bordeaux, the 17th edition will be held on December 9-11, 2024, in Montréal, Canada.

 

Protecting the data and its infrastructure of an increasingly interconnected world has become vital to the normal functioning of all aspects of our daily life. As a result, security and cyber resilience have emerged as scientific research fields focusing on the technologies, processes, and procedures used to protect against cyber threats and to ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of data, applications, and services. Many industries and businesses, including banking, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing, rely on various technologies both on premise and in the cloud to improve scalability and reduce costs. Alongside technical defenses, behavioral research enhances our ability to protect digital assets by considering the human behavior. All these multifaceted components necessitate research collaborations from various communities such as mathematics, computer science, information systems, management, and criminology.

 

The aim of the FPS symposium is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical ideas that address privacy, security, and cyber resilience issues in interconnected systems. Moreover, it aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to promote scientific collaborations, joint research programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this fast-moving field. For the 17th edition, special care will be given to innovative behavioral research enhancing privacy and cyber resilience research. We are particularly interested in topics such as insider threat, user-centric security interfaces, security culture, and user compliance.

 

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their original papers spanning the full range of theoretical and applied work including user research, methods, tools, simulations, demos, and practical evaluations.

***** Paper Submission

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 written in English and must be submitted electronically in PDF format. The papers that will be selected for presentation at the conference will be included in post-proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (prior to publication the papers should be revised according to the review comments). Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference.

 

Maximum paper length (including references in LNCS style) will be 16 printed pages for full papers and 8 pages for short, position papers and demos. For the industrial track, each submission must include at least one author with a non-academic affiliation. Authors are encouraged to contact the industrial track chairs if they need clarification regarding the suitability of their work to this track. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference on-site. All paper submissions will be handled through the Easy Chair conference management system.
