I just submitted the paper I have been writing all day (and developing forever) to the IEEE security and privacy conference. I have only managed once in the past to get a paper accepted there. It is quite hard to get in. There are no parallel sessions and all accepted papers are presented to the full audience over a 2 day period. They usually have about 150-200 papers submitted oute of which they accept about 20 for publication. There is a 'best practical paper' award this year and since I submitted code and a tool I ticked my paper as a potential candidate. Long shot but, fingers crossed ..
I am writing one final paper before I become unaffiliated ( :) not really...)
The writing part is true, I am writing with my soon to be ex-ph.D. student another paper based on his work to be submitted at the Secureware confernce which takes place in athens this year...I never thought any Ph.D. student that I know of would beat my publication record, but it seems Pierre is getting very close...more soon...
