VizSEC 2008 Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security
http://vizsec.org/workshop2008/
September 15, 2008   /   Cambridge, MA USA
In conjunction with RAID 2008

The 5th International Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security will
provide a forum for new research in visualization for computer security. We
are pleased to be holding this year's meeting in conjunction with the 11th
International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection. The
VizSEC Workshop will be held at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA on
Monday, September 15, 2008.

As a result of previous VizSEC workshops, we have seen both the application
of existing visualization techniques to security problems and the
development of novel security visualization approaches. However, VizSEC
research has focused on helping human analysts to detect anomalies and
patterns, particularly in computer network defense. Other communities, led
by researchers from the RAID Symposia, have researched automated methods for
detecting anomalies and malicious activity.

The theme for this year's workshop, which will be held in conjunction with
RAID 2008, will be on bridging the gap between visualization and automation,
such as leveraging the power of visualization to create rules for intrusion
detection and defense systems. We hope that VizSEC participants will stay
for the RAID Symposium and RAID participants will consider coming a day
early to participate in VizSEC.

We also solicit papers that report results on visualization techniques and
systems in solving all aspects of cyber security problems, including:

    * Visualization of Internet routing
    * Visualization of packet traces and network flows
    * Visualization of intrusion detection alerts
    * Visualization of attack tracks
    * Visualization of security vulnerabilities
    * Visualization of attack paths
    * Visualization of application processes
    * Visualization for forensic analysis
    * Visualization for correlating events
    * Visualization for computer network defense training
    * Visualization for offensive information operations
    * Visualization for building rules
    * Visualization for feature selection
    * Visualization for cryptology
    * Visualization for detecting anomalous activity
    * Deployment and field testing of VizSEC systems
    * Evaluation and user testing of VizSEC systems
    * User and design requirements for VizSEC systems
    * Lessons learned from development and deployment of VizSEC systems

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Full and short papers from the
workshop will be published in an edited book (details to follow).

Full Papers
Full papers should present mature research results. (We will release page
count and formatting instructions when we confirm the details of publishing
the proceedings.)

Short Papers
Short papers can be used to present less mature research results than full
papers, or late-breaking results. (We will release page count and formatting
instructions when we confirm the details of publishing the proceedings.)

Demos
Demonstrations can be used to show new or updated development efforts. Demo
submissions should consist of a 2 page abstract.

Posters
Posters can be used to describe work in progress or updates to previously
published VizSEC research or R&D. Poster submissions should consist of a 2
page abstract.
