Description

We hereby want to invite you to the 15th seminar of our Swedish IT Security Research Network for Ph.D. students (SWITS 2015). Previous SWITS seminars have been arranged by Karlstad University, Stockholm University/KTH, BTH, Linköping University, Chalmers University of Technology, Skövde University, Örebro University, Lund University and Uppsala University, where at each seminar we had about 25-60 participating PhD students and supervisors from Swedish Universities/University Colleges and other Swedish research organisations. 

Aims of the SWITS network and seminars are:
- To enhance cooperation between research labs and PhD student
- To offer the PhD students the possibility to present their research work, to get feedback and inspirations
- To discuss future activities and projects
- To identify courseware usable on national level and make these available to participating departments
- To identify existing PhD courses at Swedish Universities/ University Colleges and make them available for all students within the network
- To participate in the organization of compact IT security courses or summer schools for PhD students at international level and open them for all students of the network
- To share outside/expert lecturers

(see also: http://www.cs.kau.se/~simone/SWITS/ ).

This year, the SWITS 2015 seminar will be held from 11-12 June 2015 in Sätra Brunn, which should be easy to reach for most SWITS partners.  Daniel Hedin from Mälardalens Högskola will be the local organiser.

PhD students will again have the opportunity to present their research to an auditorium of other PhD candidates and research advisors. All PhD students that want to participate are requested to submit a one-page abstract of a presentation about their current research.

The abstract should be in English and should be sent by the 12th May 2015 to Simone Fischer-Hübner (simone.fischer-huebner@kau.se). Presentations will be in English and will be 10-20 minutes (depending on the number of presentations) plus at least 10 minutes for questions.

Besides, research groups will again be invited to give an overview of their research work.

As in previous years, we also plan to have parallel thematic workshops at the SWITS seminar this year. The purpose of the thematic workshops is to allow more extensive discussions among PhD students and supervisors from different research groups working on related topics. They should help to intensify the cooperation between Universities working on similar issues in the area of research and research education. The themes of the thematic workshops will be suggested based on the topics of the submitted abstracts.

Besides, we plan to include invited presentations by MSB and industry representatives - more details will follow. Please feel welcome to send us further suggestions.
