2014 Symposium and Bootcamp on the Science of Security (HotSoS) Program Agenda

The 2014 Symposium and Bootcamp on the Science of Security (HotSoS) was held April 8-9, 2014 in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

Over 130 leaders from government, industry, and the academic community met to discuss new and ongoing programs in security science. The presentations emphasized a broad range of topics including computing architectures, networks, software engineering practices, models of human interaction and behavior, organizational models, and evaluation methodologies.

Artifacts from Hot SoS 2014 include presentations and posters that are linked to the agenda below. The call for papers can be found at http://cps-vo.org/hotsos2014/cfp
