WISTP2012 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Dear colleague,
We are writing to invite you to participate in sponsoring WISTP'2012, the 5th Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practice, which will take place in Heraklion from June 20-22, 2012. This annual workshop provides a premier forum in which to present research results in all areas related to the Security and Trust in Computing Systems and Ambient Intelligence Ecosystem, bringing together leading researchers and practitioners, and encouraging interchange and cooperation between the research community and the industrial/consumer community.
Building on the success of previous editions held in Heraklion (May 2007), Sevilla (May 2008), Brussels (September 2009), Passau (April 2010) and Heraklion (June 2011), WISTP2012 will include a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, videos, demonstrations, and several invited speakers from both academical and industrial research world.
The strong program offered in 2007, in 2008, in 2009, in 2010 and in 2011 by the workshops had attracted a mean of 50 delegates from industry and institutions worldwide — a number that we expect to grow!

Industry involvement plays an important role in the success of WISTP (see 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011). With that in mind, we would like to invite you to become a major sponsor of WISTP2011. We aim to provide good value for the support you offer and have outlined a list of sponsorship opportunities that may suit your requirements. Your contribution will help ensure that we can maintain the highest quality throughout all aspects of what promises to be a truly great conference.
We would appreciate if you can give this matter your full consideration. Sponsorship opportunities will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, so please act now to add your company’s presence to WISTP2012. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
The WISTP2012 organization team.
