Workshop format:

The workshop intends to attract the cyber security research community around the world. In the inaugural event in 2013, we received 22 papers and accepted six papers. Each paper was reviewed by at least three independent experts (i.e. acceptance rate of 27.27%). Four best papers were published in a special issue of Journal of Networks. In 2014, we receive 32 papers all over the world and accepted 12 papers – the acceptance rate was ~ 37%. In 2015, we receive 24 papers all over the world and accepted 9 papers – the acceptance rate was ~ 37%. In 2016, we receive 31 papers all over the world and accepted 9 papers – the acceptance rate was ~ 29%.

Keynote speaker: We will invite an internationally renowned keynote speaker for this workshop.

Timeline: Our plan to have 2-3 technical sessions and one key-note session.

Submission Guidelines

Papers should be submitted through EASYCHAIR at www.easychair.org

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English and have to comply with the SPRINGER format (as per Author Kit). Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.

As papers will be blind refereed, submitted papers must be fully anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. The paper must start with a title, an abstract, and keywords.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
