| Context and motivation                                              |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
IT security is becoming an increasingly interdisciplinary subject. For
example, it is insufficient to simply deploy new security measures but
one must pay careful attention to correctly integrate the security
measures into existing software. Such an approach involves redesigning
and engineering of software to ensure that the built-in security policy
is effective in practice.
Many security venues put little focus on topics related to software
engineering, while many software-engineering venues lack appreciation
for more complex topics in software security. ESSoS thus strives to be
a venue that welcomes exactly such contributions that are at the border
of IT security and software engineering. The program committee is
particularly chosen to encompass a broad range of expertise, ranging
from software security over software engineering to human subjects such
as usable security.

| Goal and setup                                                      |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
The goal of this symposium, which will be the ninth in the series, is
to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the state of
the art and practice in secure software engineering. Being one of the
few conference-level events dedicated to this topic, it explicitly aims
to bridge the software engineering and security engineering
communities, and promote cross-fertilization. The symposium will
feature two days of technical program including two keynote
presentations. In addition to academic papers, the symposium encourages
submission of high-quality, informative industrial experience papers
about successes and failures in secure software engineering and the
lessons learned. Furthermore, the symposium also accepts short idea
papers that crisply describe a promising direction, approach, or
insight.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Topics                                                              |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
The Symposium seeks submissions on subjects related to its goals. This
includes a diversity of topics including (but not limited to):
- Cloud security, virtualization for security
- Mobile devices security
- Automated techniques for vulnerability discovery and analysis
- Model checking for security
- Binary code analysis, reverse-engineering
- Programming paradigms, models, and domain-specific languages for
    security
- Operating system security
- Verification techniques for security properties
- Malware: detection, analysis, mitigation
- Security in critical infrastructures
- Security by design
- Static and dynamic code analysis for security
- Web applications security
- Program rewriting techniques for security
- Security measurements
- Empirical secure software engineering
- Security-oriented software reconfiguration and evolution
- Computer forensics
- Processes for the development of secure software and systems
- Security testing
- Embedded software security
- Usable security

| Posters                                                             |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
ESSoS will have a poster session to present ideas, discuss prototypes,
and feature ongoing work. Authors of accepted papers and authors with
evaluated artifacts are invited to submit a poster as well. Poster
abstracts are limited to 1 page.
Submission through: https://essos17.cs.purdue.edu/

Concerned about a US travel ban? Submit your work anyway! If none of
the (Co-)authors is able to travel to the conference (and back) due to
a US travel ban we will find a way to allow you to present your work
via tele-presentation.
