The 2018 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security
Research
IFIP WG8.11/WG11.13 (
https://ifip.byu.edu/) June 14-15, 2018
(Thursday – Friday noon) University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South
Africa
CALL FOR PAPERS
UPDATE: IN ADDITION TO FULL PAPERS WE HAVE ADDED A TRACK FOR SHORT
CONCEPT PAPERS. THESE PAPERS SHOULD BE MAXIMUM FOUR PAGES
(DOUBLE-SPACED). THE DEADLINE FOR THE CONCEPT PAPERS IS APRIL 1,
2018.
For its 10th anniversary the Dewald Roode Workshop on Information
Systems Security Research returns to the University of Cape Town.
The workshop will continue the efforts to advance the discipline
of information systems security through the creation,
dissemination, and preservation of well-formed research, following
the success of the first nine Information Systems Security
Research Workshops (University of Cape Town, May 2009; Bentley
University, October 2010; Virginia Tech, September 2011; Brigham
Young University, September 2012; University at Buffalo, October
2013; Newcastle University Business School, June 2014; University
of Delaware, October 2015; University of New Mexico, October 2016;
University of South Florida, October 2017). The active discussions
in the workshop provide participants specific feedback on their
research.
As in the previous nine years, the workshop places a premium on
research with highly reliable and validated theories, empirical
data, and quantitative/qualitative social scientific
methodologies. It is intended to nurture individual papers for
submission to a wide variety of top quality research journals.
(See
https://ifip.byu.edu/ for past DRW papers which have been
published in journals.) Selection for the workshop is competitive,
and only authors of the accepted papers and the active working
group members will be invited to participate.
Anchoring the workshop to information systems means that the
research will attend to and extend the social, organizational, and
managerial literature in the focal area. Note that this is not an
appropriate venue for papers with a purely technical,
design-science, or economic approach. While we assume an effective
foundation in information security technology, we regard
information systems risk broadly, for example, computer crime,
employee misconduct, cyber warfare, cyber terrorism, human error
and/or accident, natural events, etc. We also address information
systems security broadly, for example, policies and policy
compliance, diverse security behaviors, privacy, awareness,
strategy, audit, planning and control. These and related research
topics will be the focus of this workshop. Topics may include (but
are not limited to):
* Theoretical and empirical analyses of information security
behavior
* Adoption, use, and continuance of information security
technologies and policies
* Compliance with information security and privacy policies,
procedures, and regulations
* Investigations of computer crime and security violations
* Motivators and inhibitors of employee computer crime
* Forensic analysis of security breaches and computer crimes
* Individual, organizational, and group information privacy
concerns and behaviors
* Legal, societal, and ethical issues in information security
* Neurosecurity (NeuroIS) investigations of information security
behavior

Manuscripts will be pre-screened by the program chairs to ensure
that all papers sent to reviewers are reasonably complete,
well-formed, and appropriate to the scope and mission of the
workshop. Double-blind reviews will follow for pre-screened
papers. Authors can submit the manuscripts as “early stage” or
“completed papers”. Manuscripts must be anonymous for the review
process.
In recognition that the review process greatly relies upon a
scarce resource of the services of reviewers, authors, by the act
of submission, are implicitly promising to serve as a reviewer on
one to two conference papers, if requested.
