Workshop on Semantic Computing for Security and Privacy in conjunction with THE 5th IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SEMANTIC COMPUTING http://www.ieee-icsc.org/ICSC2011/ Stanford University Palo Alto, California, USA September 18-21, 2011 Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committees: Security and Privacy (TCSP) Semantic Computing (TCSEM) Semantic Computing technologies derive and use semantics from content, where "content" is wide-ranging: video, audio, text, conversation, software, devices, actions, behavior, etc. Security technology encompasses the specification of secure behavior as well as the detection of insecure behavior. The two disciplines come together in this synergy-seeking, cutting-edge workshop. The workshop on Semantic Computing for Security and Privacy addresses: (a) deriving semantics from data used for security and privacy research; (b) semantic verification of network activity; and (c) inferring the semantics of malicious free-form data, such as email and web pages. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: . Network Dataset Curation through semantic derivation . Semantic MediaWiki for vulnerability sharing and detecting emergent security properties . Inferred semantics of malicious code . Semantic verification of network operations . Semantic specification and analysis of security experiment design . Semantic analysis of access control policies . Semantics of data acquisition and computation provenance . Semantic analysis of complete or partial malware communication patterns . Semantics aware trust management SUBMISSIONS AND REGISTRATION Authors are invited to submit Regular Papers (maximum 8 pages) or Short Papers (maximum 4 pages). More information is available on the ICSC 2011 web page. To facilitate intra- disciplinary research, workshop participants will register at a special workshop rate without a full conference registration. Papers accepted by the workshop will be published in the Conference Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Distinguished quality papers presented at the workshop will be selected for publication in internationally renowned journals.
