Symposium Activities

Invited Talks, Panels, Poster Session, Doctoral Colloquium, and BoFs

In addition to the refereed papers and the keynote presentation, the technical program will include invited talks, panel discussions, posters, a Work-in-Progress session, Doctoral Colloquium, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs). You are invited to make suggestions regarding topics or speakers in any of these sessions via email to the contacts listed below or to the program co-chairs at sec16chairs@usenix.org.

Invited Talks

Invited talks will be held in parallel with the refereed paper sessions. Please submit topic suggestions and talk proposals via email to sec16it@usenix.org by Thursday, February 18, 2016, 9:00 pm EST.

Panel Discussions

The technical sessions may include topical panel discussions. Please send topic suggestions and proposals to sec16chairs@usenix.org by Thursday, February 18, 2016, 9:00 pm EST.

Poster Session

Would you like to share a provocative opinion, interesting preliminary work, or a cool idea that will spark discussion at this year's USENIX Security Symposium? The poster session is the perfect venue to introduce such new or ongoing work. Poster presenters will have the entirety of the evening reception to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from attendees.

To submit a poster, please submit a draft of your poster, in PDF (maximum size 36" by 48"), or a one-page abstract via the poster session submission form by Thursday, July 7, 2016, 9:00 pm EDT. Decisions will be made by Thursday, July 14, 2016. Posters will not be included in the proceedings but may be made available online if circumstances permit. Poster submissions must include the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information. At least one author of each accepted poster must register for and attend the Symposium to present the poster.

Work-in-Progress Session

We will host a WiP session (previously known as rump session) on the evening of Wednesday, August 10, 2016. This is intended as an informal session for short and engaging presentations on recent unpublished results, work in progress, or other topics of interest to the USENIX Security attendees. As in the past, talks do not always need to be serious and funny talks are encouraged! To submit a WiP talk, email sec16wips@usenix.org by Wednesday, August 10, 2016, noon CDT.

Doctoral Colloquium

What opportunities await security students graduating with a Ph.D.? On Thursday evening, students will have the opportunity to listen to informal panels of faculty and industrial researchers providing personal perspectives on their post-Ph.D. career search. Learn about the academic job search, the industrial research job search, research fund raising, dual-career challenges, life uncertainty, and other idiosyncrasies of the ivory tower. If you are interested in speaking about your post-Ph.D. experiences at the Doctoral Colloquium, please email sec16dc@usenix.org.

Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BoFs)

Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) will be held Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are informal gatherings of persons interested in a particular topic. BoFs often feature a presentation or a demonstration followed by discussion, announcements, and the sharing of strategies. BoFs can be scheduled onsite or in advance. To schedule a BoF, please send email to the USENIX Conference Department at bofs@usenix.org with the title and a brief description of the BoF; the name, title, affiliation, and email address of the facilitator; and your preference of date and time.
