===================
CONFERENCE OUTLINE:
===================

We are looking for papers with high quality, original and unpublished 
research contributions. The Symposium will start on September 26, 2022 
with an exciting technical program, including vetted papers, invited 
talks, poster and panel discussions as well as collocated workshops.

Important Dates:
-----------------
This year’s symposium will have two review cycles. All submissions must 
be received by 11:59 p.m. any where on earth Time on the day of the 
corresponding deadline.

Spring cycle
■ Title and abstract: May 22, 2022 (firm)
■ Full paper submission: May 29, 2022 (firm)
■ Early reject notification: June 22, 2022
■ Notification to authors: July 15, 2022
■ Camera ready due: August 10, 2022

Abstract submissions:
----------------------
You will need to submit your title and abstract by 11:59 pm, any where 
on earth, on the day of the corresponding deadline through the 
Symposium‘s EasyChair websites by following instructions on how to make 
a submission (https://easychair.org/help/how_to_submit).

Paper submissions:
-------------------
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have 
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a 
conference / workshop with proceedings. The symposium proceedings will 
be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series 
(LNCS). In addition, the Journal of Computer Security will publish a 
special issue containing selected papers from the ESORICS 2022 
proceedings. As in previous years, ESORICS will present a Best Paper 
Award chosen by the Program Committee. This award is generously 
sponsored by Springer.

How to submit your paper:
-------------------------
Submitted papers must follow the LNCS template from the time they are 
submitted. Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages (using 10-point 
font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at 
most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the 
appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All 
submissions must be written in English.
Submissions must be uploaded to the following EasyChair website:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics2022

Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions are not anonymous. 
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without 
consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must agree 
with Springer LNCS copyright and guarantee that their papers will be 
presented at the conference.

Review Process - Revised Submissions:
--------------------------------------
This year’s symposium will have two review cycles. Within 1.5 month of 
submission, author notifications of Accept/Revise/Reject decisions will 
be sent out. For each submission, one of the following decisions will be 
made:

■ Accept: Papers in this category will be accepted for publication in 
the proceedings and presentation at the conference, possibly after 
making minor changes with the oversight of a shepherd.
■ Revise: A limited number of papers will be invited to submit a 
revision; such papers are considered to be promising but need additional 
work (e.g., new experiments, proofs, or implementations). Authors will 
receive a specific set of expectations to be met by their revisions. 
Authors can resubmit such papers, with appropriate revisions, to the 
spring submission deadline. In revised submissions, the authors should 
clearly explain in a well-marked appendix how the revisions address the 
comments of the reviewers. The revised paper will then be re-evaluated, 
and either accepted or rejected.
■ Reject: Papers in this category are declined for inclusion in the 
conference. Papers rejected from the first review cycle may not be 
submitted again (even in revised form) to the second review cycle. A 
paper will be judged to be a resubmit (as opposed to a new submission) 
if the paper is from the same or similar authors, and there is more than 
40% overlap between the original submission and the new paper, it will 
be considered a resubmission.

Conflict of Interest (CoI):
----------------------------
The program co-chairs require cooperation from both authors and PC 
members to prevent submissions from being evaluated by reviewers who 
have a conflict of interest. In the one hand, during the bidding 
procedure, PC members will be required to indicate potential CoIs. On 
the other hand, authors will be asked during the submission process to 
indicate any PC members with whom they share CoIs as well as the types 
of CoIs. That is, if they and one the authors 1) share an institutional 
affiliation at the time of submission; 2) had at any time in the past a 
supervisor/PhD student relationship; 3) have collaborated or published 
with in the prior two years; 4) are in some form of financial 
relationship, or have been at some point during the past two years; or 
5) are related, or have close personal friendships. For other forms of 
conflict, authors must contact the chairs and explain the perceived 
conflict.

Program committee members who have conflicts of interest with a paper, 
including program co-chairs, will be excluded from discussing and 
reviewing the submission. Authors also need to notify the PC Chairs of 
any other reason or circumstance that creates a risk that professional 
judgement may be unduly influenced.

The chairs reserve the right to request further explanation and can 
remove non-mandatory conflicts at their discretion.
