The Secure Trusted Operating System Consortium (STOS) will hold its fifth annual symposium December 1-5, 2003 at George Washington University. The symposium will feature tutorials, paper presentations, and Birds of a Feather sessions creating and deploying secure and trusted systems and the applications that run on them.

This symposium is ideal for system and lab administrators, programmers, developers, strategists, consultants and other technical staff involved in the design, development, deployment and securing of systems. Anyone for whom security is a requirement and not just a desire should attend this event. It is a premier networking and learning opportunity in the Mac OS X and BSD community.
