OVERVIEW
The conference is designed to bring together experts from industry,
academia,
and government to present and discuss the latest advances and
discoveries in the
field malicious and unwanted software, the techniques, economics and
legal
issues behind their use, and the methods to detect and control them.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submissions due: June 14th, 2009 23:59:59 EST
Notification of acceptance: July 26th 2009
Final papers due: August 16th, 2009
TOPICS
The organizers solicit original contributions addressing the issues
facing the
anti-malware community:
(1) Case studies based on recent malware events, describing large-scale
responses strategies used, tools and techniques employed, quantitative
measurements used and their interpretation,...
(2) Traditional research contributions of a theoretical nature
(including
modeling, simulations,...) or of a more practical nature (including in-
vitro
laboratory experiments, tool and technique development,...)
Contributions of both types, case studies and research, addressing one
of
following non-exclusive list of topics are equally welcome:
- Infection vectors: - Malware detection
worms, virus, spam - Vulnerability prevention
- Information theft: - Malware economy
spyware, rootkits - Phishing and frauds
- Botnets: analysis + economics - Human aspects: propagation
- Collection methodologies: - Forensics and law enforcement
Honeypots, Honeyclients - Malware analysis and
- Case studies: reverse-engineering
analysis and measurements - Arms race:
- National and international laws malware vs. anti-malware
SUBMISSION
Submitted manuscripts must have at least 10-point font size, and
should not
exceed 8 single-spaced pages in length, including the abstract,
figures, and
references, formatted in two columns. Only original papers,
unpublished or
submitted for publication, can be submitted. All submissions will be
reviewed
by experts.
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (paper
and CD)
that will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Two extra
pages (10
pages) would be allowed for an extra charge. Thus, the IEEE Templates
for
Conference Proceedings will have to be used for the final version.
Selected
papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Computer
Virology,
published by Springer. These extended papers will undergo a separate
review
process.
