GraMSec 2020: The Seventh International Workshop on Graphical
Models for Security
http://gramsec.uni.lu
June 22, 2020 *Online event*
Co-located with CSF 2020
*LNCS post-proceedings confirmed*
SCOPE
The use of graphical security models to represent and analyse the
security of systems has gained an increasing research attention
over the
last two decades. Formal methods and computer security
researchers, as
well as security professionals from the industry and government,
have
proposed various graphical security models, metrics, and
measurements.
Graphical models are used to capture different security facets and
address a range of challenges including security assessment,
automated
defence, secure services composition, security policy validation,
and
verification. The International Workshop on Graphical Models for
Security
is an established scientific event dedicated to study and exchange
of experiences on graphical security and safety modelling.
TOPICS
This year, we encourage excellent submissions related, but not
restricted, to the following broad headings:
1. Graph representations: mathematical, conceptual, and
implemented
tools for describing and reasoning about security and safety
2. Logical approaches: formal logical tools for representing and
reasoning about graphs and their use as modelling tools in
security
3. Machine learning: modelling and reasoning about the role of big
data
and machine learning in security operations
4. Networks in national security: terrorist networks,
counter-terrorism
networks; safety in national infrastructure (e.g., utilities and
transportation)
5. Risk analysis and management: models and graphical
methodologies for
security and privacy risk management in business and
organisational
architectures
6. Social networks: using and reasoning about social graphs,
network
analysis, network protocols, social mapping, sociometry.
7. Semantics: developing or studying semantic approaches to
graph-based
models used in security like set theoretic models, categorical
models,
logical models, etc.
8. Threat modelling: modelling and analysing software systems
security,
models for DevSecOps, etc.
9. Security requirements: models and tools for describing and
analysing
requirements on system security and privacy.
10. Visual security: modelling and analytics for security
visualisations.
11. Secure systems: safe and secure system design, quantification
of
security/safety, models for system security/safety evaluation.
We welcome a broad range of contributions: from theory to tools
and
experience reports. Preference will be given to papers likely to
stimulate high-quality debate at the Workshop.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We solicit two types of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 18 pages, excluding the bibliography and
well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work
within
the scope of the workshop.
- Short papers (up to 10 pages, excluding the bibliography and
well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work
in
progress.
The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the
papers
should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
prepared
using the LNCS style. Each paper will undergo a thorough review
process.
Submissions should be made using the GraMSec 2020 EasyChair
website:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec2020.
PUBLICATION
As in previous editions, we the post-proceedings will be published
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series,
published by Springer. Proceedings will be published after the
workshop, thus permitting the authors to incorporate feedback.
VENUE
Due to the current coronavirus outbreak, the IEEE CSF Symposium
and its associated workshops, including GraMSec, will be held
online this year. Details about registration and participation
will
be soon made available.
IMPORTANT DATES
Given the situation and the fact that the workshop will be held
online,
we will keep only one submission deadline.
- Paper submissions due: Friday, April 24, 2020
- Notifications: Friday, May 29, 2020
- Workshop: Monday, June 22, 2020
- Camera ready versions due: Friday, August 7, 2020
