ISVC14 Symposium: December 8-10, 2014



*Scope*:

Rapid growth in networking, computation, software and hardware technologies
have revolutionized the cyberspace landscape. From simple record keeping
and day-to-day communications to military operations and highly secured
business transactions are performed using networked systems enabled with
remote access technologies. Thus the cyberspace has become an integral part
of our daily lives; especially when we are living in a virtual world built
on top of social networks, cloud infrastructure, and smart mobile devices.

Cyber-attacks are currently prevailing in all these cyberspaces, user
networking devices, and the applications. They are even more complex and
malicious in the distributed and mobile environment. Securing the
cyberspace infrastructure is thus not only necessary but also has become a
critical priority to ensure proper functioning of the cyberspace, smart
grids, economic growth and advancement in the technologies.

Owing to its powerful analytical and modeling frameworks, Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, Behavioral Learning, Pattern Recognition
have recently emerged as key tools for building automated, resilient,
secure, and dependable cyber systems. This track will focus on identifying
such novel and state of the art solutions to problems related to cyber
security. The goal of this special track is to bring together researchers
and practitioners from academia, industry, and government agencies to focus
on understanding modern cyber security threats and countermeasures, and
establishing original contributions and new collaborations in these areas.


*Topics*:

-  Data mining for critical infrastructure security
-  Machine learning for intrusion prevention/detection systems
-  Pattern recognition and anomaly detection
-  AI and cloud computing security
-  Machine learning and cognitive radio networking security
-  Game theory, learning and decision theory for cybersecurity
-  Machine learning and pattern recognition in covert communications
-  Empirical and experimental analyses and simulation studies
-  Automated exploitation tools and analyses
-  Machine learning and prediction in malware analysis
-  AI & Network Systems security
-  NLP for text analysis in Cyber Security
-  Threat monitoring and analysis
-  Trusted networking security and privacy

*Paper Submission Procedure*:

Papers submitted to ISVC 2014 Special Track must not have been previously
published and must not be currently under consideration for publication
elsewhere. Manuscripts should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and
tables (see http://www.isvc.net for details). All papers accepted will
appear in the symposium proceedings which will be published by
Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
