Forwarded from: "Gerhard PaaÃ" [We apologize in advance for repeated reception of this message] [Please feel free to forward it to anyone who can be interested] *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** CSI-KDD 2009 ACM SIGKDD Workshop on CyberSecurity and Intelligence Informatics Paris, France, June 28, 2009 Held in conjunction with KDD URL: http://www.csi-kdd.org/ Computer supported communication and infrastructure are integral parts of modern economy. Their security is of incredible importance to a wide variety of practical domains ranging from Internet service providers to the banking industry and e-commerce, from corporate networks to the intelligence community. Of interest to this workshop are novel knowledge discovery methods addressing these issues as well as innovative applications demonstrating the effectiveness of data mining in solving real-world security problems. The challenge for novel methods originates from the emergence of new types of contents and protocols, and only an integrated view on all modes promises optimal results. Innovative applications are essential as IT-communication as well as computer-supported technical and social infrastructure have an extremely complex structure and require a comprehensive approach to prevent criminal activities. Topics of Interest Novel Knowledge Discovery Methods for the Security Domain: * Knowledge discovery integrating heterogeneous data sources, such as text, web-sites, program code, video, audio, biometrics, and speech. * Knowledge discovery for the joint detection, monitoring or understanding of intrusion, deception, fraud and criminal activity. * Advanced data mining approaches for spam and phishing detection, and filtering of web pages to discover illegal content. * Active, adaptive or anticipatory knowledge discovery approaches to keep filters up to date. * Data and graph mining of network structures and communication patterns. * Adversarial knowledge discovery, e.g. for randomized/perturbed attacks. * Knowledge discovery for the attack attribution problem, e.g. by the analysis of traffic, log and protocol under the umbrella of e-forensics techniques. * Quantification of threats imposed by data mining techniques to privacy/security and possible remedies like privacy preserving multi-party data mining. * Knowledge discovery techniques applied to malware analysis or to any contextual information related to the malware problem. Innovative Techniques and Applications in Intelligence Informatics: * Terrorism Informatics: terrorism knowledge portals and database, forecasting and countering terrorism, terrorism root cause analysis and social network analysis. * Infrastructure protection: public health and bioterrorism information infrastructure, transportation and communication infrastructure, border safety, intrusion detection. * Emergency response: disaster prevention, detection and management, communication and decision support for search and rescue. * Criminal data mining and network analysis, intelligence-related knowledge discovery. * Deception and intent detection, authorship analysis and identification. * Cyber-crime detection and analysis, web-based intelligence monitoring and analysis. * Criminal/intelligence information sharing, visualization, policy and governance. * Enterprise risk management and information system security: fraud detection, accounting and IT auditing, corporate sentiment surveillance, market influence analytics and media intelligence. The workshop will bring together researchers working on advanced data mining approaches for CyberSecurity as well as large-scale security applications. In addition we anticipate practitioners from large enterprises, internet service providers, law enforcement and intelligence experts, and government agencies who want to be informed about the state of the art in CyberSecurity and Intelligence Informatics. Finally the workshop may be of interest to general data mining researchers, who want to apply their techniques to this domain. -- Dr. Gerhard Paass Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS) Schloss Birlinghoven 53754 Sankt Augustin Department Knowledge Discovery, www.iais.fraunhofer.de email: gerhard.paass (at) iais.fraunhofer.de phone (+49)2241-14-2698 fax (+49)2241-14-2072
