SciSec 2019
2nd International Conference on Science of Cyber Security (SciSec'2019)
The conference is organized by the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. This new forum aims to catalyze the research collaborations between the relevant communities and disciplines that can work together to deepen our understanding of, and build a firm foundation for, the emerging Science of Cyber Security. Publications in this venue would distinguish themselves from others by taking or thinking from a holistic perspective about cyber security, rather than the building-block perspective. Each submission will be reviewed (double blind) by at least 3 reviewers. The program committee plans to select and award a Best Paper and a Best Student Paper. The post-conference proceedings will be published in Springeris Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers from the ones published in the post-conference proceedings will be invited to submit to a special issue of the Information Systems Frontier journal (officially approved; see http://organ-assoc.business.utsa.edu/isfrontiers/forthcoming.html), which requires substantial new materials and has its own review process.

- Cybersecurity Data Analytics
- Quantitative Risk Management for Cybersecurity
- Big Data for Cybersecurity
- Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
- Machine Learning for Cybersecurity
- Economics Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Social Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Statistical Physics Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Complexity Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Experimental Cybersecurity
- Macroscopic Cybersecurity
- Statistics Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Human Factors for Cybersecurity
- Compositional Security
- Biology-inspired Approaches for Cybersecurity
- Synergetics Approaches for Cybersecurity
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions must be written in English and in the PDF format. Submissions should be made anonymous (i.e., no author names and affiliations information). The length limit is 15 pages (everything included). Authors should use Springer's template which is available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Submission of a paper is regarded as a commitment that at least one of its authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
