WG 11.8 - 16th World Conference on Information Security Education
WISE Home
Dear WISE Community,
The WISE 2023 conference this year has been canceled. We thank you for your interest and support, but paper submissions this year were below a number sufficient to hold the peer review process and produce a full published journal. The SEC2023 conference will be proceeding as normal, though their paper deadline has passed.
We’re still very enthusiastic about WISE and the goals of global information security education, and will plan on holding the conference in 2024. There were a number of factors we’ve identified that have contributed to the low participation. We’ll develop a strategy that can make a robust conference next year.
In the meantime, please consider submitting to HAISA 2023, to be held in Canterbury, UK. This is a similar conference and you have a few days until their May 1, 2023 deadline for the conference, July 4th-6th.
If you have any ideas, feedback, or general comments, please let me know and we’ll definitely take those into account as we plan WISE 2024.
Best regards,
Erik Moore
Chair, WISE

Submission:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wise16
Please select either "paper" or "workgroup" as the category.
2. Submission and Acceptable Formats: Please submit your paper in either MS Word or PDF. Abstracts are not being accepted for review. Authors must submit full papers by the deadline for their papers to be considered. (For working group proposals, please submit the abstract in MS Word or PDF.)
3. Blind Review and Conflict of Interest
- Blind Review: Authors MUST remove personal and institutional identification information throughout the paper. The workshop is using a double-blind review process. This means that the reviewers will not be aware who wrote the papers that they are reviewing and the review comments will be anonymous to the paper authors.
- Conflict of Interest: A real or apparent conflict of interest (COI) exists when the author and reviewer have a mutual stake in the acceptance of the submission or in some fashion one has influence over the other. For some (not all-inclusive) examples, COIs exist when the author and reviewer are involved in:
- an employment relationship (one is the boss of the other).
- a contractual relationship (one controls the awarding of contracts to the other).
- a close personal relationship.
- a financial relationship.
- a current or very recent collaboration, co-authorship, or co-worker relationship.
Publication:
The conference proceedings will be published in the IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology Series by Springer (with ISBN and indexed in Scopus) and distributed at the conference in the same manner as WISE12 onwards. Earlier conference proceedings (WISE11 and before) were published in the IFIP AICT series.
