**NOTE: PAPER DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 22**
VIZSEC 2013
=======================================
VizSec will be held in Atlanta GA, USA on October 14, 2013. VizSec brings
together researchers and practitioners in information visualization and
security to address the specific needs of the cyber security community
through new and insightful visualization techniques.
VizSec will be held as a workshop at IEEE VIS.
The proceedings will be in the ACM Digital Library. Proceedings will be
publicly available for one week prior to the event.
Call for Papers
=======================================
The 10th Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) is a forum that brings
together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and
industry to address the needs of the cyber security community through new
and insightful visualization and analysis techniques. VizSec will provide
an excellent venue for fostering greater exchange and new collaborations on
a broad range of security- and privacy-related topics. Accepted papers will
appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM International
Conference Proceedings Series.
Important research problems often lie at the intersection of disparate
domains. Our focus is to explore effective, scalable visual interfaces for
security domains, where visualization may provide a distinct benefit,
including computer forensics, reverse engineering, insider threat
detection, cryptography, privacy, preventing 'user assisted' attacks,
compliance management, wireless security, secure coding, and penetration
testing in addition to traditional network security. Human time and
attention are precious resources. We are particularly interested in
visualization and interaction techniques that effectively capture human
analyst insights so that further processing may be handled by machines,
freeing the analyst for other tasks. For example, a malware analyst might
use a visualization system to analyze a new piece of malicious software and
then facilitate generating a signature for future machine processing. When
appropriate, research that incorporates multiple data sources, such as
network packet captures, firewall rule sets and logs, DNS logs, web server
logs, and/or intrusion detection system logs, is particularly desirable.
Technical Papers
---------------------------------------
Full papers offering novel contributions in security visualization are
solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, practical
experience, theory, analysis, or experiments and evaluations. We encourage
papers on technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security
practices, including, but not limited to:
- Situational awareness / understanding
- Incident handling including triage, exploration, correlation, and response
- Computer forensics
- Recording and reporting results of investigation
- Reverse engineering and malware analysis
- Multiple data source analysis
- Analyzing information requirements for computer network defense
- Evaluation / User testing of VizSec systems
- Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of cyber security visualizations
(whether from a security goal perspective or a human factors perspective)
- Modeling system and network behavior
- Modeling attacker and defender behavior
- Studying risk and impact of cyber attacks
- Predicting future attacks or targets
- Security metrics and education
- Software security
- Mobile application security
- Social networking privacy and security
- Cyber intelligence
- Human factors in cyber security
Posters
---------------------------------------
Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress,
preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec
community. Accepted poster abstracts will be made available on this website.
Awards
---------------------------------------
There will be an award for the best paper from the accepted program. The
best paper award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest
overall quality. A key element of the best paper selection process will be
whether the results are believed to be repeatable by other scientists based
on the algorithms and data provided in the paper. This award will be chosen
by the program committee.
Data
---------------------------------------
If you do not have real-world data to demonstrate your visualization, you
may be interested in looking at the VAST 2012 Challenge data. VAST 2011
also had cyber security data if you are looking for additional data.
Submissions
=======================================
Papers
---------------------------------------
Papers should be at most 8 pages including the bibliography and appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices or any pages past
the maximum. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected
without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not
substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are
simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
presented at the conference, preferably by themselves or by prior
arrangement through a delegate.
Posters
---------------------------------------
Poster submissions consist of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages
including figures and references. Authors must present a corresponding
poster during the designated poster session. Poster authors have the
opportunity to give a brief oral preview during a plenary "fast forward"
session.
Paper Formatting
---------------------------------------
The VizSec proceedings will be published by ACM. The ACM SIG Proceedings
Templates provides Word and LaTeX templates. (If you are using LaTeX,
please use Option 2: LaTeX2e - Tighter Alternate style.)
Authors should apply ACM Computing Classification categories and terms. ACM
invites authors to submit an image representation of their article. The
image must be selected from the article body and can be any of the
following: art, graphic, table, figures, etc. (Image files are to be as
square as possible, 100x100 ppi and in jpg format.) Authors must supply a
caption with the image. The caption length should be no more than 512
characters.
