Sorry, if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers. RECENT UPDATES!!! ----------------- - Due to multiple requests the paper submission deadline has been extended to Friday, January 27, 2006! - Selected papers will be published in revised and extended version in a special issue of Springer's Journal in Computer Virology! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS DIMVA 2006 Third GI SIG SIDAR Conference on Detection of Intrusions & Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment In Cooperation with IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance Berlin, Germany July 13 - 14, 2006 http://www.dimva.org/dimva2006 mailto:info@dimva.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The special interest group Security - Intrusion Detection and Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI) organizes DIMVA as an annual conference that brings together experts from throughout and outside of Europe to discuss the state of the art in the areas of intrusion detection, malware detection, and vulnerability assessment. DIMVA invites three types of submissions: - Full papers of up to 20 pages, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers will be reviewed, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the proceedings. The proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. In addition, selected papers will be published in revised and extended version in a special issue of Springer's Journal in Computer Virology. - Industry papers of up to 10 pages, describing best practices, case studies, lessons learned, or latest product developments. Industry papers will be reviewed and, if accepted for presentation at the conference, published on the DIMVA 2006 Web site. - Proposals of two-to-three-hour tutorials on topics of current or emerging interest. Tutorial proposals must not exceed 3 pages. They must clearly identify the intended audience, include a brief biography of the speaker, and contain sufficient material to provide a sense of their scope and depth. Tutorial material will be published on the DIMVA 2006 Web site. The scope of DIMVA is broad and includes, but is not restricted to the following areas: Vulnerability Assessment: - Vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques - Vulnerability detection - Avoidance of vulnerabilities and software testing - Reverse engineering - ROI on vulnerability assessment and management Intrusion Detection: - Intrusion techniques - Intrusion detection and event correlation - Intrusion response and intrusion prevention - Benchmarking of intrusion detection and prevention systems - Incident management and response Malware: - Malware techniques - Malware detection - Malware prevention - Benchmarking of malware detection and prevention systems - Computer and network forensics DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the technical as well as the organizational integration of vulnerability, intrusion and malware detection techniques and systems for large-scale communication and enterprise networks. Furthermore, papers from other communities such as law-making, law enforcement, economics and public administration that present these communities' perspectives on and contributions to the above IT security issues are welcomed.
