ICISS International Conference

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

The International Conference on Information Systems Security (ICISS), held annually in India, brings together researchers, students, and industry professionals from across the globe to share and discuss ideas in computer security. It provides an interactive platform for exchanging research and insights. ICISS 2025, the 21st edition of the conference, will be held at IIT Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, from December 16 to 20, 2025. The conference will include high-quality technical papers, a set of visionary/invited papers on important and timely topics from well-known leaders in the field, and a session on the work in progress.

Workshops will be held in conjunction with the ICISS 2025 conference. The workshops intend to cover specialized topics in information security through a combination of regular papers, panel discussions, keynotes, and possibly poster presentations. Workshops should highlight current topics related to technical and business issues that encourage the active participation of students, academics, government officials, and industry professionals. In the proposed workshop, along with invited talks from distinguished scientists working in related fields, technical paper sessions will be included. Authors who are willing to be workshop organizers should submit a proposal (max three pages), clearly indicating: the motivation of the workshop, the format (i.e., duration of presentations, number of expected presentations, whether there is a discussion or joint Q&A session) and whether the proposal is for a full day (6 hours) or half day (3 hours). If the proposal is successful, the workshop organizers will be required to set up a call for papers and organize reviews and the acceptance of workshop papers.
