================================================================


Topics:
-------
This symposium, the 11th in an annual series, brings together leading  
researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry  
to discuss issues and technologies related to intrusion detection and  
defense. The Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID)  
International Symposium series furthers advances in intrusion defense  
by promoting the exchange of ideas in a broad range of topics. As in  
previous years, all topics related to intrusion detection, prevention  
and defense systems and technologies are within scope, including but  
not limited to the following:

* Network and host intrusion detection and prevention
* Anomaly and specification-based approaches
* IDS cooperation and event correlation
* Malware prevention, detection, analysis and containment
* Web application security
* Insider attack detection
* Intrusion response, tolerance, and self protection
* Operational experience and limitations of current approaches
* Intrusion detection assessment and benchmarking
* Attacks against IDS including DoS, evasion, and IDS discovery
* Formal models, analysis, and standards
* Deception systems and honeypots
* Vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and forensics
* Adversarial machine learning for security
* Visualization techniques
* Special environments, including mobile and sensor networks
* High-performance intrusion detection
* Legal, social, and privacy issues
* Network exfiltration detection
* Botnet analysis, detection, and mitigation

Submissions:
------------
RAID 2008 invites two types of submissions:

1. Full papers presenting mature research results or summarizing
    operational experience protecting or monitoring large real-world
    networks. Papers can be 10-20 pages long and, if accepted, they will
    be presented and included in the RAID 2008 proceedings published
    by Springer Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science
    (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html) series. Papers must be
    formatted according to the instructions provided by Springer Verlag
    (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and include an
    abstract and a list of keywords.

2. Posters describing innovative ideas not mature enough for a full
    paper and works in progress. A two-page poster abstract formatted as
    a full paper with an abstract must be submitted. If accepted, it
    will be published in the proceedings and the poster will be
    presented.

All submissions (papers and poster abstracts) must be submitted  
electronically; details will be provided on the conference web site.  
Papers should list all authors and their affiliations; in case of  
multiple authors, the contact author must be indicated (RAID does not  
require anonymized submissions).  For accepted papers, it is required  
that at least one of the authors attends the conference to present  
the paper. Further questions on the submission process may be sent to  
the program chair.  Submissions must not substantially duplicate work  
that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has 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.
