AI and Cyber Security Special Track at The 27th International FLAIRS Conference In cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence Pensacola Beach, Florida May 21 - 23, 2014 Important Dates ======================== Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2013 Acceptance/Revision notification: 20 January 2014 All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by the AAAI Track Overview ======================== Cyber Security is an interdisciplinary area that focuses on maintaining and reducing risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and resources in computer and network systems. The complexity of modern systems and the diversity of threat vectors both social and technical, require intelligent, adaptive, multimodal solutions for which artificial intelligence (AI) approaches are well suited. This track will focus on identifying state of the art artificial intelligence based solutions to problems related to cyber security. This track will be of interest to researchers and leading edge practitioners in academia, industry, and government agencies concerned with computer and network security. Topics ======================== Submissions are encouraged, but not limited, to the following topics: - Machine Learning for Intrusion Detection Systems - NLP for text analysis in Cyber Security - Video and CCTV semantic analysis for terrorist or criminal action detection - AI & Biometrics - AI & SCADA systems security - AI & Network Systems security - AI & Embedded Systems security - AI in Forensic Analysis - AI & Cloud Computing security Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the reviewing process). Submission Guidelines ================================= Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review).
