VizSEC 2005 2nd Workshop on Visualization for Computer Security (to be held in conjunction with IEEE Vis2005 and InfoVis2005) Wednesday October 26th 2005 Minneapolis, Minnesota http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ma/VizSEC05/ Important Dates Full paper due (up to 8 pages) April 28, 2005 Paper acceptances announced June 30, 2005 Final camera-ready copy due July 29, 2005 Networked computers are increasingly ubiquitous, and they are subject to attack, misuse, and abuse. Every effort is being made by organizations and individuals to build and maintain trustworthy computing systems. The traditional, signature-based and statistical methods are limited in their capability to cope with the large, evolving data and the dynamic nature of Internet. In many applications, visualization proves very effective to understand large high-dimensional data. Thus, there is a growing interest in the development of visualization methods as alternative or complementary solutions to the pressing cyber security problems. Some of these solutions were presented at VizSEC 2004 which was held in conjunction with ACM Computer and Communication Security Conference. Following the success of VizSEC 2004, we bring VizSEC to the Visualization 2005 Conference. We would like to invite you to join us in this event which we believe will foster greater exchange among computer security professionals and visualization researchers. Note that this workshop will be held on Wednesday immediately following InfoVis 2005. Attendees will also be able to attend Vis2005's Keynote Speech and the rest of the main conference program. We solicit papers that report innovative results in solving all aspects of cyber security problems with visualization techniques. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the Visualization 2005 Conference DVD proceedings as well as ACM Digital Library (pending). for more information see: http://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ma/VizSEC05/
