University of Tennessee, Department of EECS National Science Foundation (pending) In cooperation with ACM and EUROSIS ___________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES in 2009: Mar 01 (firm, was Feb 1) Extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) submitted Mar 20 Author notification Mar 27 Visitation requests submitted by all attendees (HARD deadline) Apr 10 Submission of presentation slides (up to 10pg 2 slides/pg) and final revised extended abstracts May 29 Publication of CSIIR Workshop Proceedings in ACM Digital Library (including extended abstracts and presentations) Jun 15 Submission deadline of full papers (optional) to HICSS Cyber Security and Information Intelligence Research Minitrack Preliminary CSIIRM CFP ___________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS: As our dependence on the cyber infrastructure grows ever larger, more complex and more distributed, the systems that compose it become more prone to failures and/or exploitation. Intelligence is information valued for its currency and relevance rather than its detail or accuracy. Information explosion describes the pervasive abundance of (public/private) information and the effects of such. Gathering, analyzing, and making use of information constitutes a business- / sociopolitical- / military-intelligence activity and ultimately poses significant advantages and liabilities to the survivability of "our" society. The combination of increased vulnerability, increased stakes and increased threats make cyber security and information intelligence one of the most important emerging challenges in the evolution of modern cyberspace "mechanization." ___________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT GOALS: The aim of this workshop is to discuss (and publish) novel theoretical and empirical research focused on (the many) different aspects of software security/dependability, because as we know, the heart of the cyber infrastructure is software. The scope of the workshop covers a wide range of methodologies, techniques, and tools (i.e., applications) to (1) assure, measure, estimate and predict software security/ dependability and (2) analyze and evaluate the impact of such applications on software security/dependability. We encourage researchers and practitioners from a wide swath of professional areas (not only the programmers, designers, testers, and methodologists but also the users and risk managers) to participate so that we can better understand the needs (requirements), stakes and the context of the ever evolving cyber world; where software forms the core and security/dependability are crucial properties that must be built-in or baked on and maintained. Secure systems must be dependable and dependable systems fail if they are not secure. We look to software engineering to help provide us the products and methods to accomplish these goals. ___________________________________________________________________ NON-EXCLUSIVE TOPICS We aim to challenge, establish and debate a far-reaching agenda that broadly and comprehensively outlines a strategy for cyber security and information intelligence that is founded on sound principles and technologies, including and not limited to: + Scalable trustworthy systems (including system architectures and requisite development methodologies) + Enterprise-level metrics (including measures of overall system trustworthiness) + Life-cycle of System Evaluation methodologies (including approaches for attaining sufficient assurance) + Coping with insider threats + Coping with malware + Global identity management + System survivability + Situational awareness and attack attribution + Data provenance and integrity (relating to information, systems, and hardware) + Privacy-aware security and usable security ___________________________________________________________________ KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: + Douglas Maughan, Cyber Security Research Lead, DHS S&T (CID) + Eric Cole, Lockheed Martin Fellow + Sal Stolfo, Professor of Computer Science, Columbia University + Dawn Song, Computer Science Professor, UC Berkley + Bhavani Thuaisingham, Director for Cyber Security Research Center, Professor of Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas + Tiffany Jones, Director, North and Latin American Government Relations at Symantec Corporation + Mike Hinchey, Co-Director, Lero Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, Former Director Software Engineering Laboratory, NASA GSFC + Keynote Panel Tentative Invitations: Melissa Hathaway, Sr. Advisor to Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) ___________________________________________________________________ SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Participants are invited to submit extended abstracts of no more than four pages (single-spaced) by March 1st.
