CALL FOR PAPER / EVENT

A few points to note

• Submit early: Submitting early increases the chance of acceptance in the first round of review itself. The more you delay the more competition you have with other papers that are submitted later.
• Technical description: The more concrete technical details you provide the better chance you have of getting accepted. Reviewers usually give low score to submissions that have very small or vague abstract and might not request for more details. The best way is to provide a supporting full technical paper that explains all the vulnerabilities, exploits in detail.
• Rejection: Please take rejection as a suggestion for improvement and not as an offense. If your paper doesn’t make it to the conference it does not mean your submission is not good. There are many parameters we look at when reviewing a paper, technical depth is only one of them. Many times we have to let go of really good talks because there is already an accepted paper on similar subject or too many good submissions. We want you to succeed and are only trying to help you in preparing you for future submissions.So, cheer up and get ready for the next submission.
• Review comments: We do not ask our review board for comments.
• Category: If the submission is (being) presented prior nullcon or if it is an enhancement of an already presented research, please DO NOT mark it as new research as it falls under current research.
