Call For Papers

RUXCON would like to announce the call for papers for the third annual RUXCON 
conference.

Breaking from the RUXCON tradition of having the conference in winter months, 
this year the conference will be ran during the 1st and 2nd of October.

As with previous years, RUXCON will be held at the University of Technology, 
Sydney, Australia.

The dead line for submissions is the 31st of August.


What is RUXCON?

        RUXCON is a conference organised by and for the computer security
        community. It is an attempt to bring together the individual talents 
        of the security community through live presentations, activities and 
        demonstrations.

        The conference is held over two days in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing 
        attendees to enjoy themselves whilst expanding their knowledge of 
        security.

        Live presentations, activities and workshops will cover a full range of 
        defensive and offensive security topics, varying from unpublished 
        research to required reading for the public security community.


Presentation Information

        Presentations are set to run for 50 minutes, and will be of a formal 
        nature, with slides and a speech.

        Workshops are slightly shorter, between 30-40 minutes in length in a 
        less formal format, more of a general or introductory skill level.
