The Automotive Security Research Group (ASRG) is a non-profit initiative to promote the development of security solutions for automotive products. The ASRG Academic Conference is organized by the academic societies of the ASRG as an opportunity for students and researchers all around the world to promote their research work and to share knowledge with peers. We are inviting presentations of recent advances in the area of automotive security and privacy including technology, methodologies, use-case demonstrations, challenges and future directions. 

Submission Guidelines

All presentations must be original and should align with one or more of the topics listed below. Authors can use their own templates but should make sure they abide by the timelines provided below. After submissions are reviewed, some presentations may be deemed inadequate under their submitted category and may be invited to submit under another. However, this does not guarantee acceptance.

Under no circumstances should an author submit previously published work, submit plagiarized content, or any work that was produced by others with proper attribution. 

We are inviting submissions in the following categories: 

• Full presentations (25 to 35 minutes) are expected to exhibit significant research in relevant areas. Submissions under this category must provide sufficient background of the topic, the problem they are solving or researching, and their contributions to the discipline.
• Workshops and Demos (40 minutes to 2 hours) are expected to engage the audience in interactive dialogue around emerging topics in the research and industry communities. It is favorable to provide a tutorial around a specific focused area, include demonstrations, and allow the audience to participate in related exercises or quizzes. Conference organizers can work with the authors to set these up in alignment with the online format of this conference.
• Short Presentations (10 – 15 minutes) will describe work that is still in progress, such as preliminary results that still need to be matured through further experimentation.
• Pitch Presentations (5 – 10 minutes) provide an opportunity to pitch a novel idea, a suggested solution to a known problem, an interesting new area, or anything else that may provide value to the audience while giving the author a chance to get feedback or connect with potential supporters for their pitched idea.
