The Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education


	Founded in 1996 as the National Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education, the Colloquium has become the leading proponent for implementing courses of instruction in INFOSEC in education. In June 2002, the NCISSE expanded its mission to include a greater international participation. To reflect this the organization formally changed its name to The Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education or more simply -- The Colloquium.

Guidelines for Manuscript Preparation

Papers for the workshop are limited to eight pages in a two-column format. It is essential that authors follow the prescribed length and formatting instructions. Submissions which exceed the prescribed limits may be edited to fit, possibly by deletion of text and/or figures. Authors will be notified only if time permits.

	Electronic copies of the paper can be submitted in Word (.doc) or Acrobat (.pdf) format.
	All paper submissions must be blinded for review purposes
	Manuscripts should be six to eight pages in length. This includes all references, figures, and equations.
	Avoid repetition in text.
	Equations, unless very simple, should be avoided in the body of the text; instead, they should be included as figures.
	Any Greek characters or special notations used in the text body should be clearly identified.
	All terms and symbols, including acronyms, should be defined in the following manner: use the entire name the first time they are mentioned, in lower-case letters, followed by the acronym in parentheses (e.g., "phase-locked loop (PLL)," not "PLL (Phase-Locked Loop)."
	Source references should be noted by end notes as described in the formatting instructions at the end of the paper, not as footnotes.
	Omit product code numbers or logs in the text or illustrations. It is acceptable, for reference, to indicate them in footnotes.

Guidelines for Illustration Preparation

When submitting electronic versions of papers with figures, please make sure that all figures comply with the following guidance:

	All illustrations should be black and white, with high contrast.
	Do not use shading or color in illustrations as they reproduce poorly.
	Whenever possible, figures should fit in a single column of the manuscript
	Do not submit photographs instead, scan them in yourself and submit electronic versions.
	Captions should be brief, preferably no more than 38 characters.

Information for Speakers

Each presentation room will have a Windows-based computer with PowerPoint . With prior notice by the author, presentation rooms can be equipped with a projector for transparencies. For legibility, please observe the following rules of thumb:

	Avoid crowded slides. Do not merely make transparencies of large parts of the paper.
	Avoid small characters. We recommend a minimum of 24pt characters in a strong, clear font.
	No commercial logos or advertising matter should appear on slides.
	Be sure that slides are clear and sharp, so that they may be easily read in the last rows of a large room.

Papers will be allotted tenty-five minutes, including time for questions. Session chairs will ensure that paper presentations do not exceed their alloted time.
