Call for Papers Announced for CyCon 2013
NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence has announced the call for papers for its fifth international conference on cyber conflict. The annual interdisciplinary conference takes place in June next year and focuses on use of automatic methods in cyber conflicts. The conference will be organised along a Strategic Track and a Technical Track with legal aspects incorporated in these two tracks. Deadline for abstract submission is set for 1 November 2012
As the modern society becomes increasingly dependent on information technology, it also becomes more sensitive to cyber conflict. One way forward is through systems that require less, if any, human oversight to operate. This can already be seen in the expanding use of sophisticated models and algorithms in network traffic analysis and correlation, cyber attack detection and classification, cyber asset vulnerability analysis, prediction of potential future attacks, and planning and generation of counter-attacks. The current approaches, which are mostly based on low-level data analysis and fusion, will likely evolve into approaches based on cognitive analysis of cyber conflict situation awareness and decision support. The methods of automation in cyber conflicts are closely tied to the models of cooperative man-machine user interfaces that form the base for integrating the machine and human intelligence in cyber conflict.
The conference organisers are looking for original unpublished research, applications and experience papers in topics such as conceptual framework of cyber conflicts, concepts for using automatic methods in cyber conflict, actors in cyber conflict, automation of procedures in cyber conflicts, technical case studies, experiments and systems, cyber conflict models, reasoning and attribution in cyber conflict, targeting and cyber attack impact assessment. More detailed overview of the topics can be found on the conference website www.cycon.org/cfp.
Authors are required to first submit an abstract of the planned paper, which should describe the topic and lay out the main aspects as well as the structure of the research. After a preliminary review and acceptance of the abstract, the respective authors will be requested to submit original and unpublished papers meeting high academic research standards. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind peer review. Authors of papers accepted for publishing in the conference proceedings are requested to make a corresponding presentation at the conference.
The conference will take place on 4-7 June 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia, deadline for abstracts is 1 November 2012.
NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence is one of many NATO Centres of Excellence. Its mission is to enhance the capability, cooperation and information sharing among NATO, its member nations and partners in cyber defence by virtue of education, research and development, lessons learned and consultation.
