Submission Deadline: March 26th, 2019

Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to share your latest research results by
submitting your manuscript to the RAID 2019 that will be held in
Beijing, China on September 23-25, 2019.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Since its inception in 1997, the International Symposium on Research
in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses (RAID) has established itself as a
venue where leading researchers and practitioners from academia,
industry, and the government are given the opportunity to present
novel research in a unique venue to an engaged and lively community.

The conference is known for the quality and thoroughness of the
reviews of the papers submitted, the desire to build a bridge between
research carried out in different communities, and the emphasis given
on the need for sound experimental methods and measurement to improve
the state of the art in cybersecurity.

This year we are soliciting research papers on topics covering all
well-motivated computer security problems. We care about techniques
that identify new real-world threats, techniques to prevent them, to
detect them, to mitigate them or to assess their prevalence and their
consequences. Measurement papers are encouraged, as well as papers
offering public access to new tools or datasets, or experience papers
that clearly articulate important lessons learned. Specific topics of
interest to RAID include, but are not limited to:

*Computer, network, and cloud computing security
*Malware and unwanted software
*Program analysis and reverse engineering
*Mobile Security
*Web security and privacy
*Vulnerability analysis techniques
*Usable security and privacy
*Intrusion detection and prevention
*Hardware security
*Cyber physical systems security and threats against critical infrastructures
*IoT security
*Statistical and adversarial learning for computer security
*Cyber crime and underground economies
*Denial-of-Service attacks and defenses
*Security measurement studies
*Digital forensics

Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, correctness, and
clarity. We expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable
reproducibility of their experimental results. We encourage authors to
make both the tools and data publicly available.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers
Paper submissions should be at most 11 typeset pages, excluding
bibliography and well-marked appendices. These appendices may be
included to assist reviewers who may have questions that fall outside
the stated contribution of the paper on which your work is to be
evaluated or to provide details that would only be of interest to a
small minority of readers. There is no limit on the length of the
bibliography and appendices but reviewers are not required to read any
appendices so the paper should be self-contained without them. Once
accepted, papers must be reformatted to fit in 16 pages, including
bibliography and any appendices.

Papers should be typeset on U.S. letter-sized pages in two-column
format in 10-point Times Roman type on 12-point leading
(single-spaced), in a text block 7" x 9" deep. If you wish, please
make use of USENIX's LaTeX template and style files when preparing
your paper for submission. Failure to adhere to the page limit and
formatting requirements can be grounds for rejection. The submission
site will be available early March 2019.

Papers that have been formally reviewed and accepted will be presented
at RAID 2019 and published in the Symposium Proceedings. By submitting
a paper, you agree that at least one of the authors will attend the
conference to present it. For the first time, Proceedings will be
published by USENIX. The Proceedings will be available online on the
opening day of the Symposium under an open access license. USENIX also
allows authors to retain ownership of the copyright in their works,
requesting only that USENIX be granted the right to be the first
publisher of that work. See the sample consent form for the complete
terms of publication.

Submission
Reviewing will be double-blind, meaning the authors’ identities will
be hidden from the reviewers. All papers must be appropriately
anonymized: author names or affiliations must not appear in the
submission, you must refer to your own prior work in the third person,
you should not give the paper a title that corresponds to a publicly
available technical report, and should anonymize the bibliographic
section in an appropriate manner, etc. Papers that are not properly
anonymized may be rejected without review. While submitted papers must
be anonymous, authors may choose to give talks about their work, post
a preprint of the paper online, disclose security vulnerabilities to
vendors or the public, etc. during the review process.

All submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, correctness,
and clarity. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that
has already been published elsewhere or submitted in parallel to a
journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues,
submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute
dishonesty or fraud. RAID, like other scientific and technical
conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may, on the
recommendation of the program chair, take action against authors who
have committed them. RAID abides with policies for plagiarism,
submission confidentiality, reviewer anonymity, and prior and
concurrent paper submission that mirror those of the ACM (see
http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/).

Human Subjects and Ethical Considerations
Submissions that describe experiments on human subjects, that analyze
data derived from human subjects (even anonymized data), or that
otherwise may put humans at risk should:
1. Disclose whether the research received an approval or waiver from
each of the authors’ institutional ethics review boards (e.g., an
IRB).
2. Discuss steps taken to ensure that participants and others who
might have been affected by an experiment were treated ethically and
with respect.

If the submission deals with vulnerabilities (e.g., software
vulnerabilities in a given program or design weaknesses in a hardware
system), the authors need to discuss in detail the steps they have
already taken or plan to take to address these vulnerabilities (e.g.,
by disclosing vulnerabilities to the vendors). The same applies if the
submission deals with personally identifiable information (PII) or
other kinds of sensitive data. If a paper raises significant ethical
and legal concerns, it might be rejected based on these concerns.

Authors who are unsure whether their submissions might meet these
guidelines, or who have specific questions about the guidelines, are
welcome to contact the program committee chair at thorsten.holz@rub.de
