SYNOPSIS:
 
Despite ubiquitous dependence on electronic information and on the
networked computing infrastructure, cyber security practice and policy
is largely heuristic, reactive, and increasingly cumbersome, struggling 
to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats. Advancing beyond this 
reactive posture will require a transformation in computing and 
communication systems architecture and new capabilities that do not 
merely solve todays security problems, but render them obsolete.

IMPORTANT GOALS:
 
The aim of this workshop is to discuss (and publish) novel theoretical 
and empirical research focused on the many different aspects of 
cyber security and information intelligence. The scope will vary 
from methodologies and tools to systems and applications to more 
precise definition of the various problems and impacts. 
 
We encourage the participation of researchers and practitioners from 
a wide range of professional disciplines to ensure a comprehensive 
understanding of the needs, stakes and the ever evolving context
of cyberspace.
