CACOE 2019 – CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Cyber Range Technologies
and Applications (CACOE) June 20, 2019
In conjunction with the 4th IEEE European Symposium on Security
and Privacy June 17-19, 2019, Stockholm, Sweden
WWW:
https://cacoe.ait.ac.at/
======================================================================
The Cyber Range Technologies and Applications (CACOE) workshop
aims to bring together researchers advancing, developing and
maintaining cyber ranges (e.g., cyber-physical labs, clouds and
other virtual platforms) supporting cyber security training, tests
and exercises. The CACOE19 workshop will be held on June 20, 2019
in Stockholm, Sweden.
Cyber ranges have emerged as a response to the need of
high-fidelity environments for testing, training, exercising
capabilities related to cyber security. They are typically based
on virtualization technology and are used to set up complex
computer networks, simulate events, and observe phenomena in a
controlled environment. However, to set up realistic tests,
training or exercises in a cyber range is often difficult,
expensive and error prone. It can be seen as system administration
on steroids, where a few range engineers are to rapidly build and
manage networks of the size that it typically takes a whole IT
department to manage. There are many issues related to technical
support tools (e.g. deployment of virtual machines) that are yet
to be solved and many management issues (e.g. of event data
management) that are to be solved. Furthermore, the application of
cyber ranges to tests, training, and exercises is relatively new.
Methodologies for constructing large events, standards for
experiments, and the utility of cyber ranges to different
applications is largely unknown.
AIM & SCOPE ============ The aim of the workshop is to
exchange and discuss technologies and infrastructures required to
simulate real systems with cyber incidents (e.g., simulation of
benign or malicious users, evaluation frameworks, capability
measurement). This includes experiences from using such
technologies, e.g. for exercises and tests. The workshop will not
focus on product presentations, feature presentations or marketing
of various technical infrastructures for cyber security training
and exercises.
We invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in
security, systems engineering, situational awareness and related
areas to submit their original papers to this workshop. Case
studies (successful or not) related to cyber ranges are also
encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Design of
large-scale exercises -Design of experiments
-Analysis/reviews/tests of tools and components for building large
technical infrastructures -Automated machine configuration and
deployment -Event and scenario management -Simulation of benign or
malicious users -Event monitoring and evaluation -Data management
-Event operating environments and scenarios modelling -Metrics and
maturity levels -Measurements of training effects and capabilities
-Applications to test cyber security properties -Human factors in
training and exercises -Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions
-Security and privacy challenges -Simulation of tools and
components from various systems (e.g., industrial control systems,
cyber-physical systems, legacy systems, etc.)
IMPORTANT DATES ================ Papers submission deadline:
February 21, 2019 Notification date: April 2, 2019 Camera-ready
submission: April 16, 2019 Workshop: June 20, 2019

SUBMISSON INSTRUCTIONS ======================= Papers must not
exceed 8 pages total (including the references and appendices).
Papers must be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review:
no author names or affiliations may appear on the title page, and
papers should avoid revealing their identity in the text. Papers
must be typeset in LaTeX in A4 format (not “US Letter”) using the
IEEE conference proceeding template with the appropriate options.
