CALL FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS IEEE / IST Workshop on: "Monitoring, Attack Detection and Mitigation" (MonAM 2006) September 28 - 29 , 2006 Tuebingen, Germany Sponsors: Technical co-sponsorship * by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking TCHSN * approval pending IST Directorate D - Network and Communication Technologies 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. INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTORS Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions which describe recent and innovative research results or developments within the scope of the workshop. Submissions must be in PDF, single spaced, IEEE INFOCOM formating guidelines, templates for which are available at: http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/confpub/auxfiles/sample_manuscript.pdf The following length limitations apply: - position papers of up to 6 pages - extended abstracts of up to 3 pages Submission of electronic versions of the presentation slides is due on 15 September 2006. These slides will be included in the on-line proceedings of the workshop, which will be compiled in advance of the event. Submissions are via web upload according to the instructions that will be published on http://www.diadem-firewall.org/workshop06/ DATES Submission deadline: 16 June 2006 Notification of Acceptance: 10 August 2006 Submission of camera-ready papers and slides: 15 September 2006 Workshop dates: 28 and 29 September, 2006 ORGANISING COMMITTEE General Chair: Georg Carle, University of Tuebingen http://net.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/en/members/carle/ Program Chairs: Morris Sloman, Imperial College London http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mss/ Olivier Paul, INT - Institut National des Telecommunications http://www-lor.int-evry.fr/~paul_o/ Programm Comittee (tentative) Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul University Georg Carle, University of Tuebingen Joachim Charzinski, Siemens AG, Munich Yannick Carlinet, France Telecom Hervé Debar, France Telecom R&D Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University Dusan Gabrijelcic, Josef Stefan Institute Hartmut Ko:nig, TU Cottbus Simon Leinen, Switch Martin May, ETH Zu:rich Christos Papadopoulos, University of Southern California Olivier Paul, INT Ju:rgen Quittek, NEC Heidelberg Patricia Sagemeister, IBM Zurich James Sterbenz, University of Kansas and Lancaster University Yuval Shavitt, Tel Aviv University Morris Sloman, Imperial College London Marcel Waldvogel, University of Konstanz Sherif Yusuf, Imperial College London ORGANIZATION This workshop is sponsored and initiated by the IST Diadem project which has been focusing on denial of service attack detection and mitigation.
