RAID 2005 Eighth International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection September 7-9, 2005 Seattle, Washington, USA www.conjungi.com/RAID/ This symposium, the eighth in an annual series, brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss intrusion detection technologies and issues from the research and commercial perspectives. The RAID International Symposium series is intended to further advances in intrusion defense by promoting the exchange of ideas in a broad range of topics. For RAID 2005 we are expanding our historical scope from a focus on intrusion detection to the broader field of intrusion defense. Of particular interest are intrusion tolerant systems and systems for which detection triggers an adaptive response. As in 2004, we welcome papers that address issues related to intrusion defense, including information gathering and monitoring, as a part of a larger, not necessarily purely technical, perspective. We also invite papers on the following topics, as they bear on intrusion detection and the general problem of information security: Risk assessment and risk management Intrusion tolerance Deception systems and honeypots Vulnerability Analysis and Management IDS Assessment IDS Survivability Privacy aspects Data mining techniques Visualization techniques Cognitive approaches Biological approaches Self-learning Case studies Legal issues Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) RAID invites four kinds of submissions: * Full papers presenting mature research results. * Practical experience reports describing a valuable experience or a case study. * Panel proposals for presenting and discussing hot topics in the field of intrusion detection systems. See full CFP for submission details.
