====================================================================================


Constraint Satisfaction and Programming is emerging as an effective practical
approach for solving large complex problems. It offers a significant body of
successful techniques for verifying system properties. Recently, researchers
have begun using advances in constraint programming and solving to solve security
problems, with success. This workshop seeks to act as a catalyst for this emerging
area by exploring the challenges and the potential that these techniques may offer
when applied to security problems.

The use of Constraint Satisfaction and Programming to address security problems is
recent, and it has already produced a number of novel solutions and insights. For
example, constraints have been successfully used in the the analysis of security
protocols, the development of access control models and mechanisms, firewall
configuration and secure system configuration in general.

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

* security models
* information flow
* trust management
* database security
* data and system integrity
* security protocols
* security configuration
* access control
* secure applications
* security trade-offs



Submissions

The workshop aim is to provide a forum where researchers currently working in
the area of security and constraints can discuss their most recent ideas and
developments and think together about the most promising new directions.
Therefore we encourage the presentation of work in progress or on specialized
aspects of the area. Papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice are
especially welcome.

Prospective attendees can submit a paper, which can be up to 15 pages in length.
We encourage authors to submit papers electronically in postscript or pdf format.
Papers should be formatted using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) style.
Please send your submissions by email to stefano.bistarelli@iit.cnr.it using the
subject line "cpsec-2005 Workshop Submission".

At least one author of each accepted submission  must attend the
workshop,  and  all  participants  must  pay  the  workshop  fee
(which covers both CP'05 and ICLP'05 workshops).
