----------------------------------------------------------------------

The annual  DIMVA conference serves  as a premier forum  for advancing
the state  of the art  in intrusion detection, malware  detection, and
vulnerability   assessment.    Each   year   DIMVA   brings   together
international  experts  from  academia,  industry  and  government  to
present and discuss novel research  in these areas. DIMVA is organized
by  the special  interest  group Security  -  Intrusion Detection  and
Response  (SIDAR)  of  the   German  Informatics  Society  (GI).   The
conference  proceedings  will appear in   Springer's  Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.

DIMVA solicits  submission of high-quality,  original scientific work.
This year we invite two types of paper submissions:

* Full  papers, presenting  novel and  mature research  results.  Full
  papers  are   limited  to  20  pages,  prepared   according  to  the
  instructions provided  below. They will  be reviewed by  the program
  committee, and  papers accepted  for presentation at  the conference
  will be included in the proceedings.

* Short  papers  (extended   abstracts),  presenting  original,  still
  ongoing work  that has not yet  reached the maturity  required for a
  full paper. Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according
  to the  instructions provided below.  They will also be  reviewed by
  the program  committee, and papers accepted for  presentation at the
  conference will be included  in the proceedings (containing Extended
  Abstract in the title).

Paper Submission

All papers  must be  submitted electronically in  PDF format  via the
conference Web site.  Submissions must be formatted  according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag.  For instructions, see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html .

Submitted  papers  must be  in  English  and  must not  substantially
overlap   work  that   has  been   published  before,   or   that  is
simultaneously  in  submission to  a  journal  or  a conference  with
proceedings.   Simultaneous  submission,  submission   of  previously
published work, and plagiarism  constitute dishonesty or fraud. DIMVA
prohibits  these practices  and may  take appropriate  action against
authors who have committed them.

Authors of accepted papers must ensure that their papers will be pre-
ented at the conference.  Presentations must also be held in English.
Details about the electronic submission procedure will be provided on
the conference Web site by the end of  December 2009.  Authors of ac-
cepted papers must follow the  Springer guidelines for preparation of
camera-ready copies.  Details of the process will be  provided to the
authors in time.

Rump session

As in previous  years, DIMVA 2010 will hold a  Rump Session: a series
of short  and entertaining talks  where attendees can  present recent
research results,  work in progress,  or other topics of  interest to
the community.  Please contact  the Rump Session Chair for submission
questions.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We solicit  interested organizations to  serve as sponsors  for DIMVA
2010; please contact the  sponsorship chair for information regarding
corporate sponsorship.
