Opening Remarks and Awards
summary
Conference opens with concrete metrics: 100 accepted papers, a sold‑out crowd of 785+ attendees, and 524 submissions this cycle. Program work uses an 86‑member committee plus a review task force of five who critique reviews to raise quality. Organizers announce a shift to multiple annual deadlines starting 2019 (first Nov 15). Five distinguished papers are named (card skimmer detection; third‑party cookie policy study; scalable web exploit generation; enterprise threat modeling; hybrid‑fuzzing engine) and a 2006 SFI paper wins the test‑of‑time award.
