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

intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale 
operational communication networks.
