********************************************************************************
The 2nd International Conference on Science of Cyber Security
(SciSec'2019) will be held August 9-11, 2019 in Nanjing, China. The
conference is organized by the Nanjing University of Posts and
Telecommunications. This new forum aims to catalyze the research
collaborations between the relevant communities and disciplines that
can work together to deepen our understanding of, and build a firm
foundation for, the emerging Science of Cyber Security. Publications
in this venue would distinguish themselves from others by taking or
thinking from a holistic perspective about cyber security, rather than
the building-block perspective. Each submission will be reviewed
(double blind) by at least 3 reviewers. The program committee plans to
select and award a Best Paper and a Best Student Paper. The
post-conference proceedings will be published in SpringerÃs Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers from the ones
published in the post-conference proceedings will be invited to submit
to a special issue of the Information Systems Frontier journal
(officially approved; see
http://organ-assoc.business.utsa.edu/isfrontiers/forthcoming.html),
which requires substantial new materials and has its own review
process.
TOPICS OF INTERESTS

The conference solicits high-quality, original research papers that
can justifiably help achieve the ultimate Science of Cyber
Security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Cybersecurity Dynamics

Control-Theoretic, and Game-Theoretic Modeling)
Cybersecurity Data Analytics
Quantitative Risk Management for Cybersecurity
Big Data for Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
Machine Learning for Cybersecurity
Economics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Social Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
Statistical Physics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Complexity Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
Experimental Cybersecurity
Macroscopic Cybersecurity
Statistics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Human Factors for Cybersecurity
Compositional Security
Biology-inspired Approaches for Cybersecurity
Synergetics Approaches for Cybersecurity
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
-------------------------------
Submissions must be written in English and in the PDF
format. Submissions should be made anonymous (i.e., no author names
and affiliations information). The length limit is 15 pages
(everything included). Authors should use Springer's template which is
available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Submission
of a paper is regarded as a commitment that at least one of its
authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
