Abstract

Calling all speakers.


Table of contents

Virus Bulletin is seeking submissions from those wishing to present papers at VB2009, which will take place 23-25 September 2009 at the Crowne Plaza, Geneva, Switzerland.

The conference will include a programme of 40-minute presentations running in two concurrent streams: Technical and Corporate.

Submissions are invited on all subjects relevant to anti-malware and anti-spam. In particular, VB welcomes the submission of papers that will provide delegates with ideas, advice and/or practical techniques, and encourages presentations that include practical demonstrations of techniques or new technologies.

A list of topics suggested by the attendees of VB2008 can be found at http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2009/call/. However, please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the selection committee will consider papers on these and any other anti-malware and anti-spam related subjects.

Submitting a proposal

The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday 6 March 2009. Abstracts should be submitted via our online abstract submission system. You will need to include:

  • An abstract of approximately 200 words outlining the proposed paper.

  • Full contact details with each submission.

  • An indication of whether the paper is intended for the technical or corporate stream.

The abstract submission form can be found at http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/abstracts/.

Following the close of the call for papers all submissions will be anonymized before being reviewed by a selection committee; authors will be notified of the status of their paper by email.

Authors are advised that, should their paper be selected for the conference programme, the deadline for submission of the completed papers will be Monday 8 June 2009, and that they must be available to present their papers in Geneva between 23 and 25 September 2009.
