2007 IFIP International Workshop on Network and System Security (NSS 2007) September 20, 2007 Dalian, China http://nss2007.cqu.edu.au In conjunction with IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2007) http://www.dlmu.edu.cn/npc2007/ =========================================================================== Call For Papers --------------- In recent years, there has been significant increase in Internet attacks, such as DDoS, viruses, worms, spyware, and malware, etc, causing huge economical and social damage. While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more effective, intelligent, and active defense systems which are distributed and networked. We will focus our program on issues related to Network and System Security, such as authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability of network defense systems. We also welcome research reports on network attack systems; because we believe only by fully understanding the attack mechanisms can we perform effective and comprehensive defense. The aim of this workshop is to provide a leading edge forum to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the network and system security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to network with experts in network and system security. NSS 2007 will feature new results, challenging research questions, novel approaches and innovative directions in network and system security. Contributions are solicited in all areas of network and system security research and applications. Topics include, but not limited to: * Active Defense Systems * Benchmark, Analysis and Evaluation of Security Systems * Distributed Access Control and Trust Management * Distributed Attack Systems and Mechanisms * Distributed Database Security * Distributed Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems * Denial-of-Service Attacks and Countermeasures * Identity Management and Authentication * Implementation, Deployment and Management of Security Systems * Intelligent Defense Systems * Internet and Network Forensics * Security Architectures in Distributed Network Systems * Security for Large-scale Systems and Critical Infrastructures * Security for P2P systems and Grid Systems * Security for Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks * Security in E-Commerce * Secure Mobile Agents and Mobile Code * Security Theory and Tools in Network Systems * Viruses, Worms, and Other Malicious Code * World Wide Web Security Paper Submission Guidelines --------------------------- To submit your paper, please email your paper to Dr Yang Xiang at y.xiang@cqu.edu.au. A response will be sent back to authors once the submission is successful. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers are invited reporting original results and experience. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures, with PDF, PostScript, or MS Word format. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. All accepted papers will be included in the NPC 2007 main conference proceedings. It is planned that the conference proceedings of NPC 2007 will be published by Springer LNCS (approval pending), which is indexed by SCI. Extended versions of selected papers are to be published in a special issue of Journal of Network and Computer Applications. The journal is published by Elsevier, SCI indexed, with impact factor 0.929 (see Journal Citation Reports® 2005, published by Thomson Scientific).
