CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************************************************* 1st ACM Workshop on Moving Target Defense (MTD 2014) Scottsdale, Arizona, USA -- November 3, 2014 in conjunction with the 21st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) http://csis.gmu.edu/MTD2014 *********************************************************************
The static nature of current computing systems has made them easy to attack and harder to defend. Adversaries have an asymmetric advantage in that they have the time to study a system, identify its vulnerabilities, and choose the time and place of attack to gain the maximum benefit. The idea of moving-target defense (MTD) is to impose the same asymmetric disadvantage on the attacker by making systems dynamic and harder to predict. With a constantly changing system and its ever adapting attack surface, the attacker will have to deal with a great deal of uncertainty just like defenders do today. The ultimate goal is to level the cybersecurity playing field for defenders versus attackers.
This workshop seeks to bring together researchers from academia, government, and industry to report on the latest research efforts on moving-target defense, and to have productive discussion and constructive debate on this topic. We solicit submissions on original research in the broad area of MTD, with possible topics such as those listed below. Since this is still a research area in a nascent stage, the list should only be used as a reference. We welcome all works that fall under the broad scope of moving target defense, including research that shows negative results. - System randomization - Artificial diversity - Cyber maneuver - Bio-inspired defenses - Dynamic network configuration - Moving target in the cloud - System diversification techniques - Dynamic compilation techniques - Adaptive defenses - Analytical models for MTD - Large-scale MTD (using multiple techniques) - ...
PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 10 pages in the ACM double-column format, excluding well-marked appendices, and at most 12 pages in total. Submissions are not required to be anonymized.
Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.easychair.org. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of July 1, 2014 to be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by August 10, 2014. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that one of the authors will register and present the paper at the workshop. Proceedings of the workshop will be available on a CD to the workshop attendees and will become part of the ACM Digital Library.
IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: July 1, 2014 (midnight anywhere in the world) Notification to authors: August 10, 2014 Camera ready due: August 24, 2014
