Call for Papers

1.Overview

The ubiquitous nature of information and communication today is often

cited as the cause of many security and privacy problems including

identity and reputation management, viruses/worms and phishing/pharming.

There is strong evidence, however, that this abundance of information

and communication has at least as many security and privacy benefits as

costs.

Consider for example, the use of machine learning algorithms to detect

network intrusions, crowd-based approaches to anonymous communication

and the use of data mining algorithms to determine content sanitization.

All of these efforts benefit from recent advances in AI, which have

often been driven by increases in the amount of available data.

To fully realize the security and privacy benefits of today's ubiquitous

information, the security community needs expertise in the tools and

techniques for managing that information, namely, artificial

intelligence technology, and the AI community needs an understanding of

security and privacy problems. To facilitate an exchange of ideas

between these two communities, we are holding the fourth workshop in

"AISec" in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Computer and

Communications Security (CCS), on the new field of security and privacy

solutions that leverage AI technologies. Our full-day workshop will be a

mix of technical papers and position papers with ideas for AISec's

future.

2.Topics

We invite original research papers describing the use of AI or Machine

Learning in security and privacy problems. We also invite position

papers discussing the role of AI or Machine Learning in security and

privacy. Submitted papers may not substantially overlap papers that have

been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or

conference with proceedings.

Research submissions should be at most 8 pages excluding the

bibliography and well-marked appendices using double-column, and

reasonable margins on letter-size paper, and at most 10 pages total.

Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper

should be intelligible without them. Position papers should be at most 4

pages long in total using the same guidelines as above. Submissions need

not be anonymized. We recommend the use of the ACM SIG Proceedings

templates for submission.

Submissions can be made through EasyChair following this link

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Adversarial Learning

* Robust Statistics

* Online Learning

* Spam detection

* Botnet detection

* Intrusion detection

* Malware identification

* Privacy-preserving data mining

* Design and analysis of CAPTCHAs

* Phishing detection and prevention

* AI approaches to trust and reputation

* Vulnerability testing through intelligent probing (e.g. fuzzing)

* Content-driven security policy management & access control

* Techniques and methods for generating training and test sets

* Anomalous behavior detection (e.g. for the purposes of fraud prevention, authentication)

3.Tentative Schedule

Submissions due: July 6, 2011 (23:59 PDT)

Acceptance notification: August 4, 2011

Final manuscript due: August 19, 2011

Workshop date: October 21, 2011
