A Workshop on Rating Voting Methods
VSRW 06
8-9 June 2006
The George Washington UniversityPartially Funded by NSF
Call for Submissions
The Technical Committee calls for submissions that focus on one of:A. Voting System Straw Models
Straw models of one of the following types of voting systems:
(a) those with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPAT)
(b) those using optical scan
(c) those using modular architectures ("frogs"), where vote generation
is separate from vote casting
(d) those based on cryptography
B. Privacy Threats and Reliability Vulnerabilities
An examination of privacy threats and reliability vulnerabilities of
one or more of the above voting systems.
C. Ratings
Measures of system performance (preferably derived from rigorous
definitions) with respect to one or more of the following desirable
properties: integrity, privacy and reliability.
While usability is considered a highly desirable property for voting systems, due to time constraints, it is considered largely outside the scope of this workshop.
See Workshop Format for information on the intended format of the workshop.
Submission Format: Each submission should address only one of A, B or C, and should specify clearly its focus. Authors wishing to address more than one of A, B or C should provide separate submissions. Submissions should be in Postscript, Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word formats, and should be of a maximum length of 12 pages, with font-size 11 point or greater, and margins 1 inch or greater. Each submission should be sent to vote@gwu.edu and be accompanied by a text message containing the title, a short abstract, names of all authors, and name and contact details of a corresponding author. Submissions will not be published in book form, but will be made available online, and attendees will receive hard copies of all accepted submissions.
Submission Deadline: The submission deadline has been extended. The new submission deadline is 5 May 2006
