Welcome to ACSAC 2010! We are looking forward to a great conference in a wonderful location - Austin, Texas!

ACSAC has a tradition of bringing together security professionals from academia, government and industry who are interested in applied security. It is an internationally recognized forum where practitioners, researchers, and developers in information system security meet to learn and to exchange practical ideas and experiences.

If you are developing practical solutions to problems relating to protecting commercial enterprises' or countries' information infrastructures, then you should consider submitting your work to ACSAC and attending in December. We provide in-depth tutorials on current security topics, workshops on hot topics, case studies on best practices, panels on controversial subjects and a technical track consisting of peer-reviewed papers. Late-breaking results are welcome and can be presented as a work-in-progress or as part of the poster session.

Austin is considered the live music capital of the world, and has a lively music scene every day of the week! Our hotel - the Four Seasons - is a short walk from the downtown music scene, along with a variety of restaurants, but still overlooks the tranquility of Lady Bird Lake and has easy access to hiking and biking trails.

I look forward to seeing you in Austin!

General Chair
