CDroms of each year's proceedings are also available to order from the ISSS Office. See the Publications page for details on this option.

As in previous years, audio and written retrospectives will be available from this year's annual meeting in Madison, WI, USA, held July 13-18, 2008.
As soon as this material is available, an announcement will be made on this page and through the email announce list for ISSS.

This is a preliminary notice to announce that ANZSYS will be held in 1-2 December, 2008 at the Mount Lawley campus of Edith Cowan University in Perth. I would appreciate it if you could circulate this information. At the moment little has been decided except the dates and the venue but with preliminary discussions it appears that the closing date for papers will be in late August. We will be holding ANZSYS at the same time as our security conferences but ANZSYS will be distinct from them - it just makes logistical sense to do it this way.
