On behalf of the 1st USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy 
(HealthSec '10) program committee, we invite you to submit innovative 
papers covering all aspects of healthcare information security and 
privacy. Please submit all papers by April 9, 2010, 11:59 p.m. PDT (firm 
deadline).

HealthSec '10 is intended as a forum for lively discussion of 
aggressively innovative and potentially disruptive ideas on all aspects 
of medical and health security and privacy. A fundamental goal of the 
workshop is to promote cross-disciplinary interactions between fields, 
including, but not limited to, technology, medicine, and policy. 
Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly favored; 
complete papers with polished results in well-explored research areas 
are comparatively discouraged.

Position papers will be selected for their potential to stimulate or 
catalyze further research and explorations of new directions, as well as 
for their potential to spark productive discussions at the workshop.

Workshop topics are solicited in all areas relating to healthcare 
information security and privacy, including:

* Security and privacy models for healthcare information systems
* Industrial experiences in healthcare information systems
* Deployment of open systems for secure and private use of healthcare 
  information technology
* Security and privacy threats against and countermeasures for existing 
  and future medical devices
* Regulatory and policy issues of healthcare information systems
* Privacy of medical records
* Usability issues in healthcare information systems
* Threat models for healthcare information systems

Submissions are due Friday, April 9, 2010, 11:59 p.m. PDT 
(firm deadline).

For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call 
for Papers at: http://www.usenix.org/healthsec10/cfpa/ 

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
