CALL FOR PAPERS

5th IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS 2017)
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA -- October 9-11, 2017
http://cns2017.ieee-cns.org/


IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) is a
premier forum for cyber security researchers, practitioners, policy
makers, and users to exchange ideas, techniques and tools, raise
awareness, and share experience related to all practical and
theoretical aspects of communications and network security.

The 5th IEEE CNS will be held in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada from
October 9, 2017 to October 11, 2017. Las Vegas, which in Spanish means
''The Meadows,'' is the leading financial, commercial, and cultural
center for Southern Nevada. The city is one of the top three leading
destinations in the U.S. for conventions, business and meetings.  It
is also internationally renowned for its entertainment industry -
gambling, shopping, fine dining and nightlife. Las Vegas is well
serviced by major domestic and international airlines, with direct
flights from major U.S. Cities as well as major cities in Europe and
worldwide.


The conference seeks submissions from academia, government, and
industry presenting novel research results in all practical and
theoretical aspects of communications and network security. Particular
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


- Anonymity and privacy technologies
- Attacks and defenses
- Computer and network forensics
- Cyber deterrence strategies
- Game-theoretic security technologies
- High-availability communication systems
- Implementation and evaluation of networked security systems
