Following the requests by many of you, the submission date for the white paper for IEEE SPM special issue on cyber-security and privacy has been extended to Tuesday September 4, 2012 .

Please note this date cannot be extended again. 

Please also note that the white paper requirements are minimal: it is a proposal for your eventual submission (if accepted) and written thus. Given the tutorial style of the papers, it should contain sufficient references, short bios of all authors, title, authors names and affiliations. 

The idea is to motivate the problem, present the state of the art, motivate IT/SP approaches to it, and your own proposed approaches. Once again, the page length is restricted to 4.

Please refer to the author guidelines at this link for white paper (look for special issue not feature issue) and final paper submission formats:

We look forward to your submissions.
