[ISN] CSET '11 Call for Papers Now Available

Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones <lgj (at) usenix.org>

On behalf of the 4th Workshop on Cyber Security Experimentation and Test 
(CSET '11) program committee, we would like to invite you to submit 
papers on the science, design, architecture, construction, operation, 
and use of cyber security data and experiments. Please submit all papers 
by April 18, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Science of cyber security, e.g., experiences with and discussions of 
  experimental methodologies

* Measurement and metrics, e.g., what are useful or valid metrics? how 
  do we know? how does measurement interact with (or interfere with) 
  evaluation?

* Data sets, e.g., what makes good data sets? how do we know? how do we 
  compare data sets? how do we generate new ones? how do they hold up 
  over time? how well do teaming or capture-the-flag exercises generate 
  data sets?

* Simulations and emulations, e.g., what makes good ones? how do they 
  scale (up or down)?

* Testbeds and experimental infrastructure, e.g., usage techniques, 
  support for experimentation in emerging security topics 
  (cyber-physical systems and wireless)

* Experiences with cyber security education, e.g., capture-the-flag 
  exercises, novel experimentation techniques used in education, novel 
  ways to teach hands-on cyber security

Because of the complex and open nature of the subject matter, CSET '11 
is designed to be a workshop in the traditional sense. Presentations are 
expected to be interactive, 45 minutes long, with the expectation that a 
substantial amount of this time may be given to questions and audience 
discussion. Similarly themed papers and extended abstracts may be 
grouped together for discussion. Papers and presentations should be 
conducive to discussion, and the audience is encouraged to participate. 
To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance will be limited 
to 80 participants.

For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call 
for Papers at http://www.usenix.org/cset11/cfpa/

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
