Call for Papers


The ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management is an international forum that serves as an interdisplinary bridge between areas that can be applied to solving the problem of Intellectual Property protection of digital content. These include: cryptography, software and computer systems design, trusted computing, information and signal processing, intellectual property law, policy-making, as well as business analysis and economics. Its purpose is to bring together researchers from the above fields for a full day of formal talks and informal discussions, covering new results that will spur new investigations regarding the foundations and practices of DRM.

This year's workshop, the eighth in the series, continues this tradition. As in the previous editions, it is sponsored by ACM SIGSAC and is held in conjunction with the ACM Conference in Computer and Communications Security (CCS).

Instructions for authors

Submissions must not overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. All submissions will be handled electronically.

Go to submission page.

Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume by ACM Press and will be distributed at the time of the workshop.
