Call for Submissions
Special Issue of the Journal of Universal Computer Science on ADVANCED RESEARCH ON SOFTWARE SECURITY DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS
Main submission deadline: November 26th, 2015
http://www.jucs.org/ujs/jucs/info/special_issues/in_preparation.html
SCOPE AND AIM The main mission of this special issue “Advanced Research on Software Security Design and Applications” is to be the premier and authoritative source for the most innovative scholarly and professional research and information pertaining to aspects of Software Security. Such issue presents advancements in the state-of-the-art, standards, and practices of software security, in an effort to identify emerging trends that will ultimately define the future of “the software security.” This special issue focuses on advanced research in the practical applications and the theoretical foundations of software security, through presentation of the most up-to-date advances and new directions of research in the field from various scholarly, professional, and practitioner perspectives. An interdisciplinary look at software security including engineering and business aspects, such issue covers and encourages high-quality research exposition. This issue will explore the foundations of software security. The important software vulnerabilities and attacks will be considered that exploit them -- such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, and session hijacking -- and defenses will be also considered that prevent or mitigate these attacks, including advanced testing and program analysis techniques. Importantly, we take a "build security in" mentality, considering techniques at each phase of the development cycle that can be used to strengthen the security of software systems. The objective of this special issue is to capture the latest advances in this research field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the ones listed below: - Penetration testing - Software Security Technologies & services - Software Security Applications - Software Security Architecture - Software Security Patterns - Software Security Standard - Built-in security - Low-level, memory-based attacks - User data protection.
