Call For Papers

Workshop on Intrusion Detection and Prevention

Held as part of the 7^th ACM Conference on Computer Security (CCS 2000)  http://www.ccs2000.org/

 Location : Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry

November 1, 2000

(CCS 2000 dates: Nov 1-4, 2000)

 This year the ACM's Conference on Computer Communications and Security offers a special session on Intrusion Detection and Prevention. This event provides an opportunity for attendees of the ACM CCS to meet with researchers in the areas of intrusion detection and prevention to discuss critical issues of mutual interest during a concentrated period.

Areas of Interest

Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of intrusion detection and prevention likely to be of interest to ACM CCS attendees are solicited for submission to the workshop. Papers may present theory, technique, applications, or practical experiences. We are especially interested in the following topics:

• Detection and/or prevention techniques and/or issues for nontraditional systems
• Evaluation/assessment and emerging standards for detection and prevention
• Commercial/deployment issues
• Case studies suitable for classroom presentation
• Integrated/systemic approaches to intrusion/misuse management: detection, analysis, prevention, and response

For this session on intrusion detection and prevention, we are particularly interested in papers which emphasize less traditional environments, such as networked embedded systems rather than the typical corporate network. However, papers on all relevant topics will be considered. Due to the limited number of papers which can be presented during this half-day session, we are requesting that abstract be sent to the program committee in advance (see below) to determine likely suitability for presentation.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers which fall into the topic areas outlined above are particularly welcome, although contributions outside those topics may also be of interest (please contact the workshop chair if you have questions).

We are requiring submission of an abstract (no more than 250 words, plain ASCII text) prior to submission of a full paper. This abstract will be used to better identify appropriate reviewers and to provide potential authors with feedback as to the likely suitability of their chosen topic. Short feedback as to the likely appropriateness of a paper following the outline provided in the abstract should be received within one or two weeks of the abstract's submission. Abstracts should include the name of the authors, phone number/email/fax/address information for one author (identified as the "correspondence author"), as well as the abstract itself, and should be sent to ccsids@csds.uidaho.edu .

When the full paper is submitted, it must be sent electronically to the address below, in an email which includes the following three files:

1. A separate title page in ASCII text with:

• The title or topic
• The name(s) of the authors, organizational affiliation(s), telephone and FAX numbers, postal address, and Internet electronic mail address for the contact author. The likely speaker should also be identified and must be registered for ACM CCS by the deadline below in advance in order to assist us in producing our program. Participation of one author is a required condition of acceptance.
• The author to contact for correspondence about the paper
• A short (less than 250 word) abstract

2. The paper itself in PDF

• Up to twenty pages (12 point font); we anticipate most will be in the 12-15 page range
• A brief biography of each author as appropriate (as a separate section at the end of the paper)

3. A release form (this will be emailed to authors who submit abstracts)

Submitted papers must not have been previously published, or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere, or have substantial overlap with papers the author has submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings (more information will be available later).

Submissions should be sent to ccsids@csds.uidaho.edu. The subject line must have the following format:

[CCSIDS] ContactAuthor Title

Each submission will be acknowledged by e-mail. If acknowledgment is not received within seven days, please contact the program chair. Questions about ACM CCS should not be sent to the submission address; instead, please contact the CCS program committee as indicated below.

BEST PAPER COMPETITION

The best paper of the workshop will be selected by the reviewers, and announced at CCS 2000.

PROCEEDINGS

In addition to publication on the web, it is anticipated that all papers will be published in a proceedings after the colloquium. Details of this process are being investigated; information will be supplied to authors submitting papers and also provided on the CCS web site as soon as it is available.

CORPORATE SPONSORS

We solicit interested organizations to become sponsors, particularly in terms of reimbursing student travel and other expenses. Please contact Deborah Frincke at frincke@cs.uidaho.edu for information regarding sponsorship of the IDS workshop (those interested in sponsoring CCS as a whole should contact the CCS program committee). If we are able to provide student travel assistance through the help of our sponsors, this information will be made available to accepted authors in June.

IMPORTANT DATES

 *since this is a workshop, at least one author must commit to attend CCS/IDS workshop for each accepted paper by the deadline above.
