CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

Many researchers are interested in hiding information or, conversely, in preventing others from doing so or detecting and extracting
the hidden data. Although the protection of digital intellectual property has recently motivated most of the research in this area,
there are many other applications of increasing interest to both the academic and business communities.

Current research topics include:

- anonymous communications,
- covert channels in computer systems,
- detection of hidden information (steganalysis),
- digital forensic,
- information hiding aspects of privacy,
- steganography,
- subliminal channels in cryptographic protocols,
- watermarking for protection of intellectual property,
- other applications of watermarking.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
========================

Interested parties are invited to submit novel papers on research and practice which are related to the above areas of interest.
Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Technical papers should follow the LNCS format. The papers should be at most 15 pages including the
bibliography and well-marked appendices. Technical papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer. The submitted papers
should be anonymized avoiding obvious references.

Claims about information hiding technology, such as robustness or steganographic security, must be backed by strong evidence in the
paper (such as mathematical proofs, statistical modelling or extensive testing).

Questions regarding the program should be directed to the program chairs, Stefan Katzenbeisser (katzenbe@in.tum.de) and Mauro Barni
(barni@dii.unisi.it). All other questions should be directed to the general chairs Jordi Herrera-Joancomartí
(jordiherrera@uoc.edu) and Fernando Perez-Gonzalez (fperez@gts.tsc.uvigo.es).
