ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), the ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and Control (SIGSAC) formally established the annual ACM Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). The inaugural ASIACCS was held in Taipei (2006). Since then ASIACCS has been held in Singapore (2007), Tokyo (2008), Sydney (2009), Beijing (2010), Hong Kong (2011), Seoul (2012), Hangzhou (2013), Kyoto (2014), Singapore (2015), and Xi'an (2016).

Abu Dhabi is a city of 1.3 million people and is the capital of both the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates. It is conveniently located in the Middle East between Europe and Asia, right next to Africa. It is accessible by air within six to eight hours flight radius from many major cities in Europe and Asia. Abu Dhabi is only one and a half hour away from Dubai by driving, which is a global hotspot for leisure and recreation.1

Abu Dhabi is also the center of the UAE’s industry and one of the fastest growing cities in the world with great ambitions both for growth and the development of knowledge and advanced technology, particularly in the domain of cyber security. The 2030 vision for Abu Dhabi is to create a confident, secure society and to develop a sustainable, global and competitive economy. Given its reliance on critical cyber-physical systems, information security concerns are at the heart of many government initiatives. Therefore, several well-known cyber-security related events and conferences, including Black Hat and RSA-Middle East, were held in Abu Dhabi.
