The paper submission deadline is extended to April 28.
Network Security and attack mitigation is one of the most
frequently discussed topics in today's communication research.
Unfortunately, the research in this field is done by two
separate communities: the communication research community
and the security research community. The goal of this workshop
is to unite these two communities and mutually inform each other
about topics that are currently discussed in each of the groups.
In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of large-scale attacks, such as severe worms and DDoS attacks, threatening our systems and networks. Especially, fast spreading attacks present a serious challenge to today's attack defense systems. Speed, frequency, and damage potential of these attacks call for automated response systems. Research in automated defense systems for Internet-wide attacks is focused on large-scale monitoring infrastructures, such as network telescopes and honeynets; intrusion detection approaches, such as memory tainting, network anomaly detection; automated defense strategies, such as signature generation distribution; and identification and analysis of future threats, such as obfuscation methods and novel spreading techniques. The goal of this second SIGCOMM LSAD workshop is to explore new directions in monitoring, analysis, and automated defense systems for existing and future large-scale attacks. We invite experts from academia and industry, to discuss and exchange ideas in a broad range of topics. We are soliciting original papers on topics (including, but not limited to) listed below.
Of particular interest are (i) new solution techniques as well as evaluation of existing approaches, (ii) experiences with monitoring and countermeasures, and (iii) analysis of current and future threats. The workshop will provide a forum for exchange of ideas, challenges, and work-in-progress discussions.
Submissions must be no greater than 8 pages in length, must be a pdf file, and must follow the formatting guidelines at http://www.sigcomm.org/sigcomm2007/workshop-psg.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be single-blind: authors name and affiliation should be included in the submission. Papers may be submitted at the following URL http://edas.info in four steps:
1. | Create a personal account on EDAS (if the author does not already have one) and log into EDAS. |
---|---|
2. | Click on the "Submit paper" tab and choose LSAD'07 from from the list. |
3. | Register the paper (requires a short abstract of up to 150 words). |
4. | Upload the paper, again only in pdf format. |
For help with EDAS please contact the EDAS Administrator:edas-help@edas.info
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal.
