CALL FOR PAPERS
DMSEC'03 - Workshop on Data Mining for Computer Security
(at IEEE ICDM03)
www.cs.fit.edu/~pkc/dmsec03/
November 19, 2003
Melbourne, Florida, USA
Computer security is a broad field that encompasses issues both
theoretical and practical aspects. It is of incredible importance to a
wide variety of practical domains ranging from the banking industry to
multi-national corporations, from space exploration to the
intelligence community and so on. Of interest to this workshop are
methods that address two aspects of computer security. The first
relates to how computers can be used to secure the information
contained within an organizations. Issues of critical importance here
could include the detection and/or prevention of unauthorized access
or attacks on computers and networks local to an organization or
entity. The second relates to how computers can be used to detect
hostile activity (surveillance) in a sensitive area (such as in an
airport). It is likely that such techniques will require data mining
techniques that work hand-in-hand with state-of-the-art computer
vision techniques.
The workshop seeks papers relating to this topic. Sample topics could
be from among (clearly not limited to only these):
* Novel intrusion detection systems (e.g. signature/anomaly based)
* Secure methods towards intrusion prevention and information assurance
* Novel architectures for intrusion detection systems
* Systems support for intrusion detection/prevention automated
surveillance
* Surveillance centric data mining
* Novel applications of existing intrusion detection methods
* Practical experiences with real-life security problems
* Resource-centric (network,application,operating system) computer
security
* Theoretical methods relevant to intrusion detection and security
problems
(e.g. dealing with skew, noise, correlating multiple models,
feature
construction and selection, impact of sampling).
* Distributed and scalable online methods for computer security
IMPORTANT DATES
* Paper Submissions due: August 22, 2003 by 8AM EST.
* Notification to authors: September 30, 2003.
* Final papers due: October 15, 2003.
* Workshop Date: Nov. 19 2003.
