CALL FOR PAPERS, Case Studies, Work in Progress/Posters, PhD Research, Round Table Proposals, non-academic Contributions and Product Demonstrations
The 9th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security (ECIW) is an opportunity for academics, practitioners and consultants from Europe and elsewhere who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of systems and concepts to combat information warfare or to improve information systems security to come together and exchange ideas. There are several strong strands of research and interest that are developing in the area including the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident investigation. This conference is continuing to establish itself as a key event for individuals working in the field from around the world. The conference committee welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods. Case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited. Submission details are given below. Topics for submissions may include, but are not limited to: Human Factors Cyber-terrorism Principles of i-Warfare Physical security Counter-terrorism security policies, procedures and legislation Information warfare policy SMEs - Small-to-medium Size Enterprises Security model Critical national infrastructure protection Information warfare theory Security implications of “virtualised machines and services e-Health systems as part of a national critical infrastructure Information warfare techniques The Resilience and Susceptibility of "Service Oriented Architectures" (SOAs) Information security governance and management Information warfare and security education Hacking Biometrics e-Intelligence/counter-intelligence Information Assurance Cryptography Networked Centric War Malware Wireless Treats Reflector attacks UCE Threat Agents Art of war Cyber-fraud Particle swarm data mining Computers-as-weapons Risk Management Virtual Intrusion Detection Electro-magnetic pulse weapons Collaborative decision making National security policy Information operations Security policy Acute situational awareness Strategic leadership Firewalls Aircraft Environment Influence campaigns Phishing and spam Digital forensics Psychological warfare Current Anti Virus Technologies Network anomaly detection models PSYOP - PSYOPS Mobile Virus Corporate defence mechanisms Perception management RFID Virus Security for small to medium enterprises Infra-structure warfare SQL Infections Information, computer and network security Military Culture Topography Data Loss Security of the virtual worlds Modern conflict Data Integration SIMAD what can/should be done to protect against this threat?
