The 31st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) invites submissions that introduce innovative contributions across various real-world aspects of computer security and privacy. Theoretical papers are expected to demonstrate the practical relevance of their findings. Authors are encouraged to craft the abstract and introduction of their paper to be accessible and engaging for a broad audience of computer security researchers, as any member of the program committee may review their submission.
CCS will conduct two review cycles in 2024, with each submission receiving one of the following decisions:
- Accept: Papers falling under this category will be published in the conference proceedings and presented at the event, potentially undergoing minor revisions with guidance from a designated shepherd.
- Minor revision: Papers deemed promising but requiring minor additional work (such as minor experiments or proofs of minor lemmas) will be offered the chance to resubmit with appropriate revisions. Authors should clearly outline how the revisions address reviewers’ comments in a separate note. The revised paper will then undergo re-evaluation for final acceptance or rejection.
- Reject: Papers declined in this category will not be included in the conference. Submissions rejected in the first review cycle are ineligible for resubmission, even with revisions, in the second cycle.
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure at least one author registers for the conference and presents their paper in person whenever possible.
