All contest information available on http://www.miscmag.com/csw05-sf.php
The conference website can be found at http://cansecwest.com
The CanSecWest/core05 conference consists of tutorials on technical
details about current issues, innovative techniques and best practices
in the information security realm. Many famous researchers contribute
each year. The attendees are a multi-national mix of professionals
involved on a daily basis with security work and provide a social
networking opportunity to mingle with eminent technical researchers.
It will be held on May 4-6 at the Mariott Renaissance hotel in
downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
MISC is a french magazine focusing on information security. Each issue
features an in-depth coverage of a specific topic through a serie of
articles exploring the subject. Beside this key theme regular columns
provide the reader with advanced techniques pertaining to information
security. Because security can not be limited to technical and
scientific aspects MISC also covers domains like law or information
warfare.
The winning article submission receives:
- registration for CanSecWest/core05 donated by the conference
- 4 nights in the conference hotel (Mariott Renaissance) paid for by
the conference (though incidental costs are still your
responsibility).
- a round-trip to Vancouver (Canada), paid by Diamond Edition (the
winner must have a valid passport and visa if needed)
- the publication of your article in MISC, paid at the regular MISC
rate (to use as spending money on your trip).
The committee will select the best article which will be published in
MISC Magazine. The 5 following criteria will guide the committee's
choice:
1) education: how much does it teach?
2) innovation: how is it new?
3) technical level: what is the technical level of the article?
4) applicability: does it affect a lot of people?
5) style: grammar, orthography, syntax, clarity, ...
More than one article may be published in MISC Magazine, but only the
best one will win the trip.
To have a chance to win, send article submission by email to
csw05@miscmag.com along with the following information before the 29th
of January 2005:
1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport)
