MMM-ACNS-2012 and SA&PS4CS-2012 
Sixth International Conference - Mathematical Methods, Models, and
 Architectures for Computer Network Security
and Second International Workshop Scientific Analysis and Policy
 Support for Cyber Security, St. Petersburg, Russia, October 17-20,
 2012.
(Submissions due 27 May 2012)

These conference and workshop bring together leading researchers from
academia and governmental organizations as well as practitioners to
advance the states of the art and practice in the area of computer
networks and information security with a focus on novel theoretical
aspects of computer network security, facilitate personal interactions
and discussions on various aspects of information technologies in
conjunction with computer network and information security problems
arising in large-scale computer networks.
