CALL FOR PAPERS
DIMVA 2007
Fourth GI International Conference on Detection of Intrusions & Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment
Organized by the GI Special Interest Group SIDAR
In Cooperation with IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance
Lucerne, Switzerland July 12 - 13, 2007
http://www.dimva.org/dimva2007 mailto:info@dimva.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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" 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).
DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:
- Intrusion Detection * Approaches * Implementations * Prevention and response * Result correlation * Evaluation * Potentials and limitations * Operational experiences * Evasion and other attacks * Legal and social aspects
- Malware * Techniques * Detection * Prevention * Evaluation * Trends and upcoming risks * Forensics and recovery
- Vulnerability Assessment * Vulnerabilities * Vulnerability detection * Vulnerability prevention
DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the integration of intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale operational communication networks.
