Call for Papers

   The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for  
advancing the
   state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and
   vulnerability assessment. Each year DIMVA brings together  
international
   experts from academia, industry and government to present and  
discuss
   novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized by the special
   interest group [2]Security - Intrusion Detection and Response of the
   [3]German Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will
   appear in Springer's [4]Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
   series.

   DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work.
   This year we invite two types of paper submissions:
     * Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full
       papers are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the
       instructions provided below. They will be reviewed by the  
program
       committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the  
conference
       will be included in the proceedings.
     * Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still
       ongoing work that has not yet reached the maturity required  
for a
       full paper. Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared
       according to the instructions provided below. They will also be
       reviewed by the program committee, and papers accepted for
       presentation at the conference will be included in the  
proceedings
       (containing Extended Abstract in the title).

   DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following  
areas:
     * Intrusion Detection
          + Approaches
          + Implementations
          + Prevention and response
          + Result correlation
          + Evaluation
          + Potentials and limitations
          + Operational experiences
          + Evasion and other attacks
          + Legal and social aspects
     * Malware
          + Techniques
          + Detection
          + Prevention and containment
          + Evaluation
          + Trends and upcoming risks
          + Forensics and recovery
     * Vulnerability Assessment
          + Vulnerabilities
          + Vulnerability detection
          + Vulnerability prevention
          + Classification and evaluation

   DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the integration of
   intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale
   operational communication networks.

Simultaneous

   constitute dishonesty or fraud. DIMVA prohibits these practices  
and may
   take appropriate action against authors who have committed them.

   For accepted papers, it is required that at least one of the authors
   attends the conference to present the paper. Presentations must  
also be
   held in English.

   Details about the electronic submission procedure will be  
provided on
