The 7th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security will be held at the University of Plymouth, on the south west peninsula of the United Kingdom.

The conference will address elements of both theory and practice of all aspects of Information Warfare and Security, and offers an opportunity for academics, practitioners and consultants involved in the domain to come together and exchange ideas.  The programme for the event will include an extensive range of peer-reviewed papers, including presentations from leaders in the field.

The university is situated in the centre of the historic city of Plymouth, which offers an exciting blend of heritage and contemporary culture.  In addition to the conference itself, delegates will be able to enjoy the thriving city centre, the scenic surroundings of Plymouth Hoe, and the Elizabethan streets of the Barbican area.  For those able to travel a little further, Plymouth is within easy reach of attractions such as the Dartmoor National Park and the internationally acclaimed Eden Project.

We hope that you will be able to be part of ECIW 2008 and we look forward to welcoming you to Plymouth.

Important dates

For operational reasons we have had to alter the submission dates for this conference. However, as we are aware that a considerable amount of literature was in circulation before we did this we will honour all submissions that arrive by the original dates (21 January for Abstracts and 10 March for papers). We would ask that you strive to meet the new dates as these have been arranged to allow a longer paper review period which we hope will give authors more time to arrange travel and registration after receiving reviewer feedback.

Blog

We encourage interested parties to visit the Information Warfare blog created by John Reidelbach at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. This is a new blog that already has an impressive archive and link library related to i-Warfare.

Note to Authors: Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation different co-authors need to present each paper. Author registration must be completed by 26 May 2008.
