IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST)
The Second Workshop for Women in Hardware and Systems Security (WISE)
It is our great pleasure to announce the 2nd HOST co-located workshop for Women in Hardware and Systems Security (WISE). The purpose of this half-day workshop is to attract more women to join the field of hardware and systems security (HSS) and provide a forum for the women in HSS to support each other. Considering the number of women entering the engineering profession is decreasing annually, it is critical to understand and encourage the young female students to choose engineering profession and participate in research activities.
The workshop will be composed of four main themes:
- experience sharing and visionary view from female role models,
- discussing research/work/life challenges faced by female students in HSS,
- exchanging research ideas and prompting collaborations via oral and poster presentation,
- Proposals are limited to 1-page in length.
- The proposal must include presenter name, affiliation, poster title, a paragraph describing the scope of the research project, and indicate whether the presenter prefers the optional oral presentation and hardware demo.
- Each proposal must be uploaded to EasyChair by April 13, 2018, 11:59p.m. (PST). Please select the option Workshop for Women in Hardware and Systems Security (WISE) Poster.
- offering a job fair for female students who look for an internship or full time job.
We encourage all women related to the field of HSS and those who are willing to support women in HSS to join this workshop and help grow female workforce in HSS.
