Don’t miss the new security-related workshops (UPSEC ‘08 and LEET ‘08) taking place on April 14 and 15 in San Francisco, CA.
Usability, Psychology, and Security 2008 (UPSEC ‘08)
April 14, 2008
http://www.usenix.org/upsec08
Usability, Psychology, and Security 2008 will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, systems designers, and developers to discuss how the fields of human computer interaction, applied psychology, and computer security can be brought together to inform innovations in secure systems design. Online registration is now open and the program is available.

First USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats
(LEET ‘08)
April 15, 2008
http://www.usenix.org/leet08
LEET has evolved from the combination of two other successful workshops, the ACM Workshop on Recurring Malcode (WORM) and the USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Understanding Botnets (HotBots), and will focus on the underlying mechanisms used to compromise and control hosts, the large-scale “applications” being perpetrated upon this framework, and the social and economic networks driving these threats. Sessions include Attacker Behavior; Measurements, Uncertainties, and Legal Issues; New issues; and more. Online registration is now open and the program is available.
Join us in San Francisco, CA, April 16-18, for NSDI ‘08. The 5th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation focuses on the design and implementation principles of large-scale networks and distributed systems.
This year’s outstanding program includes 30 technical papers carefully selected from a pool of 175 submissions. These high-quality papers represent a diverse range of hot research areas including energy, scale, security, and fault tolerance.
Just added! The program begins with a keynote address by Ian Pratt, Senior Lecturer, University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, and Fellow, King’s College Cambridge.

NSDI ‘08 will feature a poster session during which attendees can discuss emerging ideas in networked systems design by talking with leading researchers who are introducing their ongoing work. To submit a poster, please send a proposal, one page or less, by March 10, 2008, to nsdi08posters@usenix.org. The poster session co-chairs will send back decisions by March 23, 2008.
