The Second International Workshop on IT-solutions for Physical Security
Stockholm, Sweden, March 29-30, 2007

Sorry the workshop is cancelled.

The past few years have seen an increase of interest and demand for better security in the physical world such as critical infrastructure protection, secure freight transportation and better border control. IT already plays an increasingly important role in the solutions for physical security. Consequently, IT security becomes itself an important issue also for physical security solutions, and state-of-the-art IT security research and technology has the potential to radically increase the quality and reduce cost for physical security solutions.

The first International Workshop on IT-solutions for physical security was held in Stockholm, Sweden, in March 2006, with the aim of providing a forum for discussing the links between IT security and physical security. Given the success of this inaugural meeting, a second workshop will be held in Stockholm in March 2007. The aim of this workshop is to highlight the potential use of IT security solutions in the physical security domain, and to draw the attention of computer security researchers to the area of physical security.

We invite research and industry papers (max. 4 pages) for the Second Workshop on IT-solutions for Physical Security. Papers that have already been published in refereed conference proceedings or journals are acceptable but must be clearly marked as resubmissions of prior work. Short Papers will be refereed and it is intended to collect extended versions of the best novel papers in a special issue of the International Journal of Information Security.
