Until now, their efforts have been fragmented, with different groups interested in copyright marking of digital objects, covert channels in computer systems, subliminal channels in cryptographic protocols, broadcast encryption schemes, low-probability-of-intercept communications such as spread spectrum and meteor scatter, and various kinds of anonymity services ranging from steganography through location security to digital elections. However these areas of study are closely linked, and we wish to create an opportunity for a fruitful exchange of ideas. We are therefore organising a workshop on information hiding, which will form part of a six month research programme being held at the Isaac Newton Institute on Computer Security, Cryptography and Coding Theory. Given a positive response from the research community, it is hoped that this will become a regular event. Instructions for authors: Interested parties are invited to submit papers on research and practice which are related to these areas of interest. Submissions can be made electronically (latex or postscript; preferred format is latex using llncs.sty) or in paper form; in the latter case, send eight copies suitable for blind refereeing (the authors' names should be on a separate cover sheet and there should be no obvious references). Papers should not exceed fifteen pages in length.
