Thanks in advance for sharing this CFP with any interested individual or mailing list. ---- 3rd European Conference on Computer Network Defense (EC2ND) 4-5 October 2007, FORTH-ICS, Heraklion, Crete, Greece http://2007.ec2nd.org/ Call for Papers The 3rd European Conference on Computer Network Defense will take place in October 2007 at the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, in Crete, Greece. The theme of the conference is the protection of computer networks. The conference will draw participants from academia and industry in Europe and beyond to discuss hot topics in applied network and systems security. EC2ND invites submissions presenting novel ideas at an early stage with the intention to act as a discussion forum and feedback channel for promising, innovative security research. While our goal is to solicit ideas that are not completely worked out, and might have challenging and interesting open questions, we expect submissions to be supported by some evidence of feasibility or preliminary quantitative results. Topics include but are not limited to: * Intrusion Detection * Denial-of-Service * Privacy Protection * Security Policy * Peer-to-Peer and Grid Security * Network Monitoring * Web Security * Vulnerability Management and Tracking * Network Forensics * Wireless and Mobile Security * Cryptography * Network Discovery and Mapping * Incident Response and Management * Malicious Software * Web Services Security * Legal and Ethical Issues Submitting a Paper You are hereby invited to submit papers up to 6-8 single-spaced pages long. We particularly encourage position papers on preliminary work that shows promise, rather than mature and well-polished papers studying well-known ideas. Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly favored. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the electronic proceedings of the conference. Some papers may have to go through a shepherding process in collaboration with one of the PC members.
