ACM ASIACCS 2027 (ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security) is a CCF C / ICORE A / QUALIS B1 conference held in Macau, China on 2027-07-12. The paper submission deadline is 2026-12-11. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2027-03-31.
The 22st ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM ASIACCS 2027) seeks paper submissions presenting novel contributions related to all real-world aspects of security and privacy. We seek articles presenting accessible and compelling results to general computer security researchers. Purely theoretical (e.g., cryptography-focused, with no security/application connections) submissions are not encouraged. The same applies for submissions focusing primarily on blockchains or machine learning.
As in previous years, we will also be accepting “Systemisation of Knowledge” (SoK) papers. SoK submissions need to add the prefix “SoK” in the title and a checkbox on the submission form. They will be accepted based on the value to the community. Survey papers without insights evaluating, systematizing and contextualizing current knowledge will be rejected.
Important Notes
All authors should provide their ORCIDs through the profile page on HotCRP by the submission deadline.
All submissions should have an Open Science appendix after the references. For submissions whose claimed contributions rely on artifacts (e.g., code, models, or datasets), the Open Science appendix may simply consist of an anonymous link to the artifacts. If a submission’s contributions do not rely on artifacts, or if the authors have valid reasons for not providing them, this should be explicitly stated in the Open Science appendix.
If a submission may raise ethical concerns, it should include an appendix titled Ethical Considerations after the references, clearly articulating these concerns and describing how they have been carefully and thoroughly addressed. In cases of uncertainty, authors are encouraged to include this appendix.
Submission Instructions
Please read the instructions below before submitting your paper. Please get in touch with the PC chairs at [email protected] for any questions regarding submissions.
The submission server for the first round is located at: https://asiaccs27cycle1.hotcrp.com/.
The submission server for the second round will be at: https://asiaccs27cycle2.hotcrp.com/.
Paper Decisions
Desk Rejection. Submissions will be checked for compliance after submission and may be desk rejected before being assigned to reviewers. Reasons for desk rejection include, but are not limited to: detection of fabricated content (e.g., hallucinated references); failure to provide an Open Science appendix; abuse of the conflict-of-interest declaration; failure to properly anonymize the paper; and attempts to disrupt the review process (e.g., prompt injection or malware embedded in the PDF or artifacts).
Early Rejection and Rebuttals. Papers that receive substantially negative initial reviews will be rejected early. The authors of early-rejected papers, and only such papers, will receive a copy of their initial reviews. Papers that are not early rejected will receive further reviews. We will endeavour to have all reviews for each submission available to the authors at the start of the rebuttal period. Rebuttals will be limited in length. Reviewers will be encouraged to update their reviews in the light of rebuttals and to interact with authors via the online review system should further questions arise post-rebuttal.
Rejection. Papers that are not yet ready for publication will be rejected.
Major Revision. Rejected papers in the first round cannot be resubmitted in the second round. A small number of the first round submissions may receive a Major Revision decision, rather than Accept, Shepherd, or Reject, and may be revised and resubmitted together with a response to reviewers’ comments to the same submission server during the second round review phase. The revision requirements may include running additional experiments, improving the paper’s presentation, or other improvements. Papers meeting the set requirements will typically be accepted. We will request additional revisions only in exceptional circumstances.
Shepherding. A small number of papers may be conditionally accepted subject to a light shepherding process, which is intended primarily for language editing and minor presentation improvements. These papers are expected to be accepted provided that the authors adequately address the shepherd's requirements.
Acceptance. These papers are ready for publication. This category also includes papers with minor issues that reviewers believe the authors can address in the final version without shepherding.
