PURPOSE AND FORMAT

The intention of this workshop foster interaction among researchers from
the industry, universities, and other research institutes on various
aspects of network monitoring, attack detection and mitigation, suitable
for high-speed networks.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing very
recent work and to discuss relevant issues in a timely manner.
The workshop will consist of a number of short informal presentations
and discussion on current research, hot topics, position statements, and
controversial opinions.
The workshop is in the spirit of the IEEE workshop series on High Speed
Networking (c.f. http://www.comsoc.org/tcgn/activities.html ), and aims
to be relatively small (not more than 60 participants), with a
considerable amount of time devoted to informal discussion.

The topics of the workshop include but not limited to:

- high-speed network monitoring
- network anomaly detection
- denial of service attack detection and mitigation
- intrusion and worm detection
- attack response mechanisms
- policy based mechanisms for detection and response
- high speed firewall technology
- network honeypots
- use of overlay and peer-to-peer networks for detection and
   mitigation
- detection and mitigation  of attacks in overlay networks"
- attack detection and mitigation in mobile networks

The workshop format will include invited keynote presentations as well
as short presentations selected from the submissions.

Position papers and presentations will be published in workshop
proceedings with ISDN number and will be made available on the web.
