Fwd: SANE 2004 Call for Posters

[Fotis Georgatos]

Το παρών αφορά το SANE 2004, ένα συνέδριο Διαχειριστών Συστημάτων και Δικτύων,
που λαμβάνει χώρα κάθε δύο χρόνια σε μια πόλη της Ολλανδίας.
Σημειώστε ότι είναι εξαιρετικής θεματολογίας και ποιότητας το πρόγραμμά του,
τουλάχιστον εγώ το έχω επιβεβαιώσει αυτοπροσώπως τις δύο τελευταίες φορές...

Θα πρότεινα σε όποιον είναι συνάδελφος και δουλεύει στον συγκεκριμένο κλάδο,
ή έχει υφισταμένους που κάνουν κάτι τέτοιο, να ρίξει μια ματιά!
Επίσης, εάν έχετε θέματα για παρουσίαση αξίζει να το σκεφτείτε,
στο τελευταίο συνέδριο το καλύτερο paper ήταν δουλειά δύο Ελλήνων ;)

POSTER SESSIONS

The SANE Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present their
work in an informal and interactive setting.  Posters are ideal for
presenting speculative, late-breaking results or for giving an
introduction to interesting, innovative work.  Posters are intended to
provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each
other and to engage in discussions about the work.

The posters will provide information about the applications,
architecture, implementation, performance and security of modern
computing systems and IP networks.  Posters that present Work In Progress
and draw important conclusions from practical experience are especially
welcome.  Posters are being solicited in areas including but not limited
to:

    * Security tools and techniques: IPsec, Network Intrusion Detection
      Systems, Firewalls, VPNs, practical cryptography, auditing and
      computer forensics
    * Attacks against networks and machines, including denial-of-service
      attacks
    * Adventures in nomadic and wireless computing
    * Web security fundamentals and practical web site maintenance
    * Integrating new networking technologies like IPv6
    * Network monitoring and traffic shaping solutions
    * System and network performance tuning
    * Managing enterprise-wide email and fighting spam
    * Innovative system administration tools and techniques
    * Distributed or automated system administration
    * Managing large amounts of computers
    * Unix on the desktop (including MacOS X)


REFEREED POSTER SUBMISSIONS

Successful posters are carefully designed to convey technical details.
They should also attract the attention of attendees as they stroll past
the displays.  The goal is to develop a poster that encourages and
facilitates small groups of individuals interested in a technical area to
gather and interact.

Posters will be reviewed and selected by the Poster Committee.  An award
will be given at the conference for the best poster.

A submission must include an abstract of up to 400 words.  Including a
rough sketch of the poster is recommended.  Also include the URL of a
web site related to the poster, if applicable.  Submissions must be done
through this web form:
        http://www.nluug.nl/cgi-bin/sane2004-poster

Authors of accepted submissions must provide a one or two page summary
for publication in the conference proceedings.  This brings the subject
to an even larger audience.  These summaries are held in the highest
confidence prior to publication in the conference proceedings.  By
agreeing to present your poster at SANE 2004, you also give permission to
the SANE 2004 conference organizers to publish the poster and summary on
the NLUUG and SANE web sites.


PRACTICAL

- One author per accepted poster can attend the conference, exhibition
  and social event free of charge, excluding travel and lodging expenses.
- The posters will be located in a public area, close to the exhibition,
  viewable for all conference attendees.
- The size of the board for the poster is about 1.40 meter wide and 1.00
  meter high.  Note that this is landscape orientation!  Push pins can be
  used to attach material to the board.
- There is a small table beside each poster with room for leaflets and a
  laptop for a live demo.  If you need more room consider getting a booth
  at the exhibition.
- The posters are to be set up Wednesday evening, September 29.
- During both lunch breaks someone must be present at the poster to
  interact with conference attendees.  At other times this is also
  possible, putting a time schedule on the poster is recommended.
