Workshop Organization Supplement: A Series of Workshops on Security in Emerging Areas at the 2012 ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security

该奖项旨在支持学生参加与2012年10月15日至19日在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行的ACM计算机与通信安全研讨会(CCS)相关的研讨会。一年一度的ACM计算机和通信安全会议是一个领先的国际论坛，供信息安全研究人员、从业者、开发人员和用户探索尖端想法和结果，并交流技术、工具和经验。自2001年以来，CCS开始安排附属讲习班，以探讨各种新兴领域的安全问题。CCS研讨会已经成为研究人员组成焦点小组、就新出现的和关键的安全问题进行讨论和合作并传播新的、革命性的(有时甚至是有争议的)想法的活跃论坛。这些研讨会也是将来自多个学科的研究人员聚集在一起的自然场所，以解决特定领域的安全问题，如医疗保健、云计算和国家关键基础设施。研讨会的遴选过程严谨，协调良好。CCS指导委员会仔细审查了所有研讨会的建议，并根据其主题、学术价值和与学术界和工业界的相关性进行了评估。

This award is to support student participation in workshops that are affiliated with the annual ACM symposium on Computer and Communication Security conference (CCS), which are to be during October 15-19th 2012, in Raleigh NC. 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 2001, CCS started accommodating affiliated workshops to explore security issues in a variety of emerging areas. The CCS workshops have 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 health care, cloud computing and national critical infrastructures. The workshop selection process is rigorous and well coordinated. All workshop proposals are carefully reviewed by the CCS steering committee and evaluated based on their topic, intellectual merits, and relevance to academia and industry.
