NSS 2008 - http://nss.cqu.edu.au 2008 IFIP International Workshop on Network and System Security 18-19 October 2008, Shanghai, China In conjunction with IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2008) http://grid.sjtu.edu.cn/npc2008/ Call For Papers --------------- 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, adaptive, active and high performance 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 computer networks and systems. 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 interact with experts in academia, industry and governments. NSS 2008 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 * Adaptive Defense Systems * Benchmark, Analysis and Evaluation of Security Systems * Distributed Access Control and Trust Management * Distributed Attack Systems and Mechanisms * Distributed Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems * Denial-of-Service Attacks and Countermeasures * High Performance Security Systems * Identity Management and Authentication * Implementation, Deployment and Management of Security Systems * Intelligent Defense Systems * Internet and Network Forensics * Large-scale Attacks and Defense * RFID Security and Privacy * Security Architectures in Distributed Network Systems * Security for Critical Infrastructures * Security for P2P systems and Grid Systems * Security in E-Commerce * Security and Privacy in Wireless Networks * Secure Mobile Agents and Mobile Code * Security Simulation and Tools * 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 go to http://nss.cqu.edu.au and follow the link "Submit Your Paper". 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. The publications of this workshop will be IEEE Computer Society Proceedings (EI, ISTP, and INSPEC indexed). Selected best papers will be published in some international journal special issues.
