Call for papers

The SecSoft workshop aims to gather together novel approaches for providing organizations the appropriate situational awareness in relation to cybersecurity threats allowing them to quickly detect and effectively respond to sophisticated cyber-attacks. The specific target is complimentary research works on complementary cyber-security aspects for virtualized and software-defined infrastructures, including but not limited to:

Cyber-security platforms and architectures for digital services;
Security, trust and privacy for industrial systems and the IoT (including smart grids);
Monitoring and advanced data collection and analytics;
Virtual and software-based cyber-security functions;
Orchestration and Automatic Configuration of security functions;
Novel algorithms for attack detection and threat identification;
Intelligent attack mitigation and remediation;
Machine learning, big data, network analytics;
Secure runtime environments, including trustworthy systems and user devices;
Formal methods and policies for security and trust;
Novel threat and attack models;
Authentication, Authorization and Access control;
Honeypots, forensics and legal investigation tools;
Threat intelligence and information sharing.

Multi-disciplinary and collaborative research projects are encouraged to submit joint papers describing their integrated architectures and cyber-security platforms, with special emphasis on how they address the challenging cyber-security requirements of softwarized environments and critical infrastructures.

Interested authors are invited to submit papers according to the following guidelines:

papers must be up to 7 pages long, including tables, figures and references
the style to be used is IEEE 2-column US-letter style using IEEE Conference template, and papers must be submitted in pdf format
