Call for Papers

The 10th ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management (ACM-DRM 2010) will be held in Chicago, IL, USA on October 4, 2010. It is co-located with the 17th ACM Conference on Communications and Security (ACM-CCS 2010).

The Call for Papers is also available for download as a PDF file.

Instructions for authors

Submissions must not overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. All submissions will be handled electronically.

Accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume by ACM Press and will be distributed at the time of the workshop.

Authors are also invited to submit proposals for short presentations of recent results, work in progress, and new ideas. Given the controversial nature of DRM, position papers are also welcome. If you wish to submit a short paper, send an extended abstract (1 or 2 pages) to acmdrm2010@gmail.com using the same guidelines as above. The submission deadline for short papers is August 1, 2010, 23:59 CDT.
