POSTERS

SOUPS will include a poster session with a best poster award. We seek poster abstracts (2 pages) describing recent or ongoing research or experience in all areas of usable privacy and security. We also welcome posters describing papers on usable privacy and security published at other venues in 2014 and 2015. Instead of the regular poster abstract, please submit the paper's title, abstract, full bibliographical citation, and a link to the published (official) version.

Poster submission deadline: May 26th, 2015, 5pm PDT
Notification of acceptance: June 9th, 2015

LIGHTNING TALKS AND DEMOS

SOUPS will include a session of 5-minute lightning talks on a variety of subjects relevant to usable security and privacy. Example topics might include emerging hot topics, preliminary research results, a research challenge that could benefit from feedback, a war story, ongoing research, a success, a failure, a future experiment, tips and tricks, a pitfall to avoid, etc. We are also seeking relevant demonstrations of visualizations, user interfaces, or interaction paradigms related to security and privacy for a demo session. Demo presentations will be 5-10 minutes long, and should convey the main idea of the interface and one or more scenarios or use cases. 

Lightning talk and demo submission deadline: May 26th, 2015, 5pm PDT (additional proposals will be accepted after the deadline if space remains)
Notification of acceptance: June 9th, 2015
