Call for Papers

The sixth European Conference on Computer Network Defense (EC2ND)
will be held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science at Berlin Institute of Technology (TU Berlin). The
conference brings together researchers from academia and industry
within Europe and beyond to present and discuss current topics in
applied network and systems security.

EC2ND 2010 invites submissions presenting novel ideas in the areas
of network defense, intrusion detection and systems security. Topics
for submission include but are not limited to:

    * Intrusion Detection
    * Malicious Software
    * Web Security
    * Machine Learning for Security
    * Peer-to-Peer and Grid Security
    * Wireless and Mobile Security 
    * Network Forensics
    * Network Discovery and Mapping
    * Incident Response and Management
    * Privacy Protection
    * Cryptography
    * Legal and Ethical Issues 

EC2ND 2010 specifically encourages submissions presenting work at an
early stage with the intention to act as a discussion forum for
innovative security research. While our goal is to solicit ideas
that are not completely worked out, and might have challenging and
interesting open questions, we expect submissions to be supported by
some evidence of feasibility or preliminary quantitative results.

Paper Submission

You are hereby invited to submit papers up to 6-8 pages, 8.5" x 11",
two-column format. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program
Committee. Authors of accepted papers will be given the option of
including their paper in the proceedings of the conference,
published through IEEE-CS.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the
authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any
other conference or workshop with proceedings. Authors of accepted 
papers must ensure that their papers will be presented at the 
conference.

Details about the electronic submission procedure are provided on
the conference Web site. Details of the process will be provided to
the authors in time.
