A Series of Workshops on Security in Emerging Areas

该奖项旨在支持2011年ACM计算机和通信安全会议（CCS）附属的新兴领域安全系列研讨会，并将于2011年10月17日至21日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。一年一度的ACM计算机和通信安全会议是信息安全研究人员、从业人员、开发人员和用户探索前沿思想和成果，并交流技术、工具和经验的领先国际论坛。自2001年以来，CCS开始举办一系列研讨会，探讨各种新兴领域的安全问题。CCS研讨会迅速成为研究人员组成焦点小组的活跃论坛，讨论和合作新兴和关键的安全问题，并传播新的，革命性的（有时甚至是有争议的）想法。这些讲习班也是汇集多学科研究人员的自然场所，以解决特定领域的安全问题，如智能手机技术、云计算和国家重要基础设施。

The award is to support the series of workshops on security in emerging areas that are affiliated with the 2011 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), and will be held on October 17-21st, 2011 in Chicago, IL. The annual ACM Computer and Communications Security Conference is a leading international forum for information security researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and results, and to exchange techniques, tools and experiences. Since year 2001, CCS started accommodating series of workshops to explore security issues in a variety of emerging areas. CCS workshops quickly become active forums for researchers to form focus groups, discuss and collaborate on emerging and critical security problems, and disseminate fresh, revolutionary (and sometimes even controversial) ideas. These workshops also serve as natural venues to bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to address security issues in specific domains, such as smartphone technology, cloud computing and national critical infrastructures.
