                                   DIMVA 2008

and Vulnerability Assessment

  Organized by the GI Special Interest Group SIDAR

July 10-11th, 2008
Paris, France

Call for Papers

   The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing 
the state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and 
vulnerability assessment. Each year DIMVA brings together international 
experts from academia, industry and government to present and discuss 
novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized by the special 
interest group [2]Security - Intrusion Detection and Response of the 
[3]German Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will 
appear in Springer's [4]Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work. 
This year we invite two types of paper submissions:

* Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers 
  are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the instructions 
  provided below. They will be reviewed by the program committee, and 
  papers accepted for presentation at the conference
 will be included in the proceedings.

* Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still ongoing 
  work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a full paper. 
  Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according to the 
  instructions provided below. They will also be reviewed by the program 
  committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference will 
  be included in the proceedings (containing Extended Abstract in the 
  title).

DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:

* Intrusion Detection
+ Approaches
+ Implementations
+ Prevention and response
+ Result correlation
+ Evaluation
+ Potentials and limitations
+ Operational experiences
+ Evasion and other attacks
+ Legal and social aspects
* Malware
+ Techniques
+ Detection
+ Prevention and containment
+ Evaluation
+ Trends and upcoming risks
+ Forensics and recovery
* Vulnerability Assessment
+ Vulnerabilities
+ Vulnerability detection
+ Vulnerability prevention
+ Classification and evaluation

DIMVA particularly encourages papers that discuss the integration of 
intrusion, malware, and vulnerability detection in large-scale 
operational communication networks.

Paper Submission

All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the

   Submitted papers must be in English and must not substantially 
overlap work that has been published before, or that is simultaneously 
in submission to a journal or a conference with proceedings. 
Simultaneous submission, submission of previously published work, and 
plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. DIMVA prohibits these 
practices and may take appropriate action against authors who have 
committed them.

For accepted papers, it is required that at least one of the authors 
attends the conference to present the paper. Presentations must also be 
held in English.

   Details about the electronic submission procedure will be provided on 
the conference Web site by the end of November 2007. Authors of accepted 
papers must follow the Springer guidelines for the preparation of
