VizSEC/DMSEC 2004 CALL for PAPERS

This Workshop on Visualization and Data Mining for Computer Security
(http://www.cs.fit.edu/~pkc/vizdmsec04/) will be held in conjunction =
with

(http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigsac/ccs/CCS2004/). Registration is available =
via
the ACM CCS website.

VizSEC/DMSEC Workshop: October 29, 2004

Information about security on large and complex computer networks is =
high
volume, heterogeneous, distributed, and dynamic over time. Of interest =
to
this workshop are two complementary methods to process high-dimensional =
data
into knowledge: visualization and data mining. Visualization represents
high-dimension security data in 2D/3D graphics and animations intended =
to
facilitate quick inferences for situational awareness and focusing of
attention on potential security events. Data mining focuses on =
algorithms to
accurately detect patterns in high-dimension security data representing
unauthorized system access or computer network attacks. Papers with
demonstrated results will be given priority.=20

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:=20
- visualizing vulnerabilities=20
- visualizing IDS alarms (NIDS/HIDS)=20
- visualizing worm/virus propagation=20
- visualizing routing anamolies=20
- visualizing large volume computer network logs=20
- visual correlations of security events=20
- visualizing network traffic for security=20
- visualizing attacks in near-real-time=20
- security visualization at line speeds=20
- dynamic attack tree creation (graphic)=20
- forensic visualization=20
- feature selection=20
- feature construction=20
- incremental/online learning=20
- noise in the data=20
- skewed data distribution=20
- distributed mining
- correlating multiple models
- efficient processing of large amounts of data
- correlating alerts
- signature detection
- anomaly detection
- forensic analysis
