----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Security - Intrusion Detection and
Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The
conference proceedings will appear in Springer's 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
+ Insider detection
+ Applications to business level fraud
+ Implementations
+ Prevention and response
+ Result correlation and cooperation
+ Evaluation
+ Potentials and limitations
+ Operational experiences
+ Legal and social aspects

* Malware Detection
+ Techniques
+ Acquisition of specimen
+ Detection and analysis
+ Automated behavior model generation
+ Early warning
+ Prevention and containment
+ Trends and upcoming risks
+ Forensics and recovery
+ Economic aspects

* Vulnerability Assessment
+ Vulnerabilities
+ Vulnerability detection and analysis
+ Vulnerability prevention
+ Classification and evaluation
+ Situational awareness

DIMVA 2009 particularly encourages papers that discuss applications of
intrusion detection methods for fraud detection in business level
processes and composite Web Services.

Paper Submission

All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the
conference Web site. Submissions must be formatted according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag.

Submitted papers must be in English and must not substantially
overlap work that has been published before, or that is
simultaneously in submission to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Simultaneous submission, submission of previously
published work, and plagiarism 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 are provided on the
conference Web site. Authors of accepted papers must follow the
Springer LNCS guidelines for the preparation of camera-ready copies.
Details of the process will be provided to the authors in time.

Rump session

As in previous years, DIMVA 2009 will hold a Rump Session: a series
of short and entertaining talks where attendees can present recent
research results, work in progress, or other topics of interest to
the community. Please contact the Rump Session Chair for submission
questions.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We solicit interested organizations to serve as sponsors for DIMVA
2009; please contact the sponsorship chair for information regarding
corporate sponsorship.
