The 6th Conference on Email and Anti-Spam (CEAS) will be held from July 16th to 17th, 2009 in Mountain View, California. The focus of CEAS is to present results from academic and industrial researchers that include the uses and abuses of email, instant messaging, text messaging (SMS), voice and video messaging, blogs and social networks.

I have attended CEAS for many of the previous years and I have found it to be of consistently high quality. I highly recommend CEAS as it is one of the only forums solely dedicated to presenting the results of research in messaging. The conference provides open access to all papers presented after the event. Research papers presented at CEAS in previous years may be found on the conference web site.

Researchers are encourage to submit to the CEAS call for papers until April 15th 2009.

The Conference on Email and Anti-Spam (CEAS) invites the submission of papers for its sixth meeting. Papers are invited on all aspects of electronic communication including email, social networks, blogs, instant messaging, text messaging, and voice over internet protocol (VoIP). Topics of interest include novel applications and theoretical work in abuse filtering, security measures, automated assistance, reliability, economic issues, phishing, identity theft via messaging, fraud, evaluation measures, and benchmarks. Both academic and industrial research perspectives are encouraged.

Both full papers of up to 10 pages and poster papers of up to 2 pages will be considered. Papers will be peer-reviewed by a committee of experts from academic and industrial research centers.

  • Message filtering, organization, and security
