Call for Papers

---------------------------------------------- Security and privacy have been the major concern when people design computer networks and systems. In recent years, there has been significant increase in network and system attacks, such as frauds, distributed denial of service, viruses, worms, spyware, and malware, etc, causing huge economical and social damage. While the attack tools have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more effective, intelligent, robust, autonomous and adaptive security systems. It is envisioned that the large-scale adaptive security system will be essential to provide comprehensive protection to networks and systems in the future. The aim of such an adaptive security system is to provide authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability to networks and systems, with autonomous and adaptive capabilities. However, building such a system faces significant challenges. We expect the adaptive security system to be * self-organizing and can deal with different attacks without central control, and through contextual interactions with the peer nodes; * adaptive and broad-spectrum to both known and unknown attacks with high true positive detection rate and low false positive detection rate;

* able to counteract the distributed intelligent attack systems which have the learning capability; and * collaborative and optimized to intelligently safeguard the networks and systems with low management and maintenance cost. These challenges need to be addressed under joint efforts from different areas such as network security, computer communications, AI, autonomic computing, bio-inspired techniques for security, adaptive systems, and others.

Submission Guideline

---------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting important developments (or advances) in the topics related to the special issue. The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. If an earlier version of the manuscript was published/accepted in conferences, authors should state so in the cover letter. The manuscript must be a substantial extension to the previously published/accepted work and a summary of changes and a copy of the previous conference paper must be submitted together with the submission to the special issue. The manuscripts should be formatted according to the ACM TAAS guidelines available from the journal homepage (http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas) and submitted to the guest editors through email y.xiang@cqu.edu.au. Guest editors will pre-screen submitted manuscripts for their suitability in the issue. Submissions passing the pre-screen process will go through a rigorous peer-review process according to the standards of TAAS. Submitting a paper implies the willingness of reviewing one paper submitted to the special issue.
