Dear Colleagues:

Kindly circulate or post where interested staff and students will see

CALL FOR PAPERS: EICAR 2000

1st European Anti-Malware Conference
March 4 to March 7, 2000
Brussels, Belgium

SUBMISSION DEADLINE JULY 1, 1999

The dynamic and rapid development of new technologies presents an
ever-increasing opportunity for the malevolent exploitation of such
technologies, requiring combined efforts in research and development of
defense measures.

The unprecedented availability of information, stored on innumerable
interconnected servers and ready for instantaneous access from anywhere
in the world, has led to new opportunities for information gathering and
exploitation, which in some cases are carried out within a legislative
vacuum.

The First European Anti-Malware (9th annual EICAR) conference brings
together experts from industry, government, academy, and research, as
well as end-users interested in security issues, in a forum designed to
both heighten awareness of critical issues and provide practical
solutions.

Papers pertaining to malicious code, unwanted side-effects or
malfunction, network security, information age and society, cryptography
and the protection of privacy and anonymity, new media, and electronic
commerce, are welcome.  Subject matter may be theoretical, empirical, or
methodology oriented.

We are interested in receiving Research Papers, Research in Progress
Reports, Case Studies and proposals for Symposia.  For full details see
<http://www.eicar.dk/submit/call.html> or send e-mail to
<call () Eicar dk>.  Best Paper Proceedings will be available in electronic
format at the conference.

What is EICAR? EICAR is a not-for-profit organization that combines
experts from university, industry and government who are concerned with
technical and legal issues related to the security of networks,
databases and information in general.  These issues include but are not
limited to efforts against computer crime (e.g., cryptography), fraud
and the misuse of computers or networks (e.g., relationship of attitudes
and security measures with behavioral outcomes), intrusive malicious
exploitation of personal data as well as computer viruses or Trojan
Horses (e.g., detection/protection measures).
