[iva] Call for Late Breaking Results: SPSC Symposium 2021

[Ingo Siegert]

      *1st**Symposium on Security and Privacy in Speech Communication*

Virtual, November 10-12, 2021

*Call for Late Breaking Results*

The *first edition of the SPSC Symposium*aims at laying the first
building blocks required to address the question how researchers and
practitioners might bridge the gap between social perceptions and their
technical counterparts with respect to what it means for our voices and
speech to be secure and private.

The symposium brings together researchers and practitioners across
multiple disciplines – more specifically: signal processing,
cryptography, security, human-computer interaction, law, and
anthropology. By integrating different disciplinary perspectives on
speech-enabled technology and applications, the SPSC Symposium *opens
opportunities to collect and merge input regarding technical and social
practices*, as well as *a deeper understanding of the situated ethics at
play*.

After the regular paper submission is due, we now call for *Late
Breaking Results*!

*What is Late breaking work?*

Late-Breaking Work submissions represent work such as preliminary
results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions
that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting edge or emerging
work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or
novel questionnaires, evaluation methods . However, Late-Breaking Work
papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the SPSC community,
commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of
this track.

*Why submit to Late-breaking work Track at the SPSC Symposium?*

Accepted Late-Breaking Work papers will be presented in a (virtual)
poster session during the symposium. This provides an opportunity for
researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential
collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting thought-provoking
discussions about their work in an informal setting that is
significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The
Late-Breaking Work track also offers those new to the SPSC community a
chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with
this field.


*Submission:*

Late-Breaking Work papers intended for the SPSC Symposium should have a
maximum of two pages of text. An optional third page can be used for
references only. Paper submissions must conform to the format defined in
the paper preparation guidelines and as detailed in the _author’s kit_
<https://www.interspeech2021.org/download/IS2021_paper_kit.zip>.

The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the _online
paper submission system_
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spscsymposium2021>in the
"Late-Breaking Work" track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is
recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as
close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short time
frame for preparing the final camera-ready version and no deadline
extensions can be granted. All accepted submissions will appear in the
*conference proceedings published in ISCA Archive*.

*Review:*

Late-Breaking Work papers will be evaluated to the extent that they are
presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work which is
under-described in order to fit into the Late-Breaking Work format. The
Late-Breaking Work track will undergo an external peer review process.
Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including (1) the
relevance of the work to the SPSC Community, (2) the quality of the
submission, and (3) the degree to which it “fits” the Late-Breaking Work
track (e.g., in-progress results). More particularly, the quality of the
submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions to the
research of the SPSC community.

*Attendance:*

At least one author of all accepted Late-Breaking Work submissions must
register for and attend the conference, including the conference
Late-Breaking Work session.


The SPSC Symposium addresses interdisciplinary topics.
