AUUG Security Symposium 19-21 November 2001 - Brisbane

Call for Papers/Presentations and Tutorials

The AUUG Security Symposium provides a forum for discussion of security
technologies, techniques and management.

Our society today is highly dependant on our almost pervasively
interconnected systems. Hence we are also dependant upon the security of
these systems. As Governments and private industry become increasingly
aware of the vulnerability of our systems there is a growing requirement
for security education and for practioners to share their knowledge for
the greater good.

This symposium aims to fill a gap in the Australian conference scene
between the high cost commercial conferences (where attendees hear mainly
marketing pitches) and the academic-based research conferences. It is
unashamedly for the practioner in the field who wants to share or learn more
about how to secure their systems (be it a PC operating systems, a huge
network or a client server application).

The AUUG security symposium will be a three day event with paper presentations and
tutorials. The symposium is to be held from Monday, 19 to Wednesday 21
November 2001, at the Auditorium of the Primary Industries Department,
80 Ann St, Brisbane. Monday will be for tutorials and the Tuesday and
Wednesday for paper presentations.
