Call for presentations closed.

Call for Presentations and Tutorials:

At the request of previous conference delegates, the AusCERT2005 programme committee has decided to include some positions on the programme for speakers accepted through a "Call for Presentations and Tutorials". Accepted presentations will be included in the Business, Technical or Tutorial streams.

This call for presentations is open to experts who believe they would have a quality presentation for the AusCERT2005 Conference fitting the theme of "Secure by design - the only choice".

Note that this is not an academic refereed call for papers. A separate refereed stream for research and development is available for this purpose and a call for papers is being held separately for this stream. Please refer to the refereed call for papers for further details.


Presentation Submission Guidelines:

All presentations and tutorial submissions will be handled electronically.

Submissions will only be considered if the presentation abstract and the presentation slides are submitted by the submission deadline.

The AusCERT2005 programme committee will not consider incomplete submissions. Please note that:

  • Presentation abstract should be submitted in text.
  • Presentation slides should be submitted in pdf or PowerPoint format.
Submissions will be accepted from now on until the deadline listed under 'Important Dates'.

Business and Technical presentations will run for 40 minutes, however, we would recommend a 30-35 minute presentation to allow time for questions.

Tutorials run for half a day and can cover topics either at business or technical levels.

Please note that presentations promoting vendor specific products or services will not be considered nor accepted.
