SS01 - Intelligent Network Security and Survivability

up arrowup



Introduction

Currently, we are living in a digital world consisting of a large number of computers and other equipment creating ubiquitous computer networks. Since most of human activities are dependent on computer networks, security and survivability of them have become a major concern. This special section focuses on research related to the application of computational intelligence techniques to improve security and survivability of computer networks.

NOTICE: best papers presented during this session will be invited to the special section of "Cybernetics and Systems: An International Journal", ISI indexed.
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/01969722.html).

SS02 - Text Processing Applications to Secure and Intelligent Systems

up arrowup



Introduction

Malicious software, unsolicited electronic mail, abuse in on-line social networks, sensitive information leakage, all of them current problems within information security sharing a common key point: text. Despite the language differs, from binary to natural language, all these problems may be tackled by studying their source and nature. This special session focuses on the application of text classification techniques to deal with different threats in order to improve the security of information systems.


Topics of Interest

Topics of interest, but are not limited to:

  • Text-based techniques for malicious software detection.
  • Content filtering.
  • Abuse prevention in on-line social networks.

WK01 - Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Security

up arrowup



Scope and Objectives

Importance of the computer security and security of computer systems has dramatically increased during last decade. Various kinds of attacks on computer systems and malicious software have been detected. As a response to those threads, has also been developed sophisticated software as well as special units of police or army for defense and protection of important systems and data has been established. For that purpose various software technologies, that are used today, including artificial intelligence, heuristic methods are used to help protect data as well as computer systems against possible threads.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together people from fundamental research, experts from various companies producing defending software as well as common users of those hi-tech defense technologies. The aim is to discuss possible hybridization of artificial intelligence with "classical" defending methods as well as discuss real life experiences with computer security and to define new open problems on that interesting and fast growing field of research. This workshop will establish a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent trends in the computer security for researchers, students, and academics and mainly for the experts from the real life security area.
