EICAR 2014 - 23rd Annual EICAR Conference

This call for scientific technical and legal papers (peer reviewed) as well as industry papers invites therefore the submission of full papers and abstracts on one or more topics devoted to the topics above.
The conference committee is seeking submissions of papers for oral presentation at the conference in two major categories:
Peer reviewed papers ? these papers will be selected on basis of blind peer review by members of the program committee and other independent reviewers (where necessary). Case studies, research in progress and full research papers including theoretical papers will be considered for the inclusion in the conference program. There is no definitive word limit for the submissions; however, it is anticipated that submissions will be between 3500 and 5500 words. The program committee will not accept research proposals for submission to the conference.
Other papers ? these papers will not be peer reviewed. However, due to the considerable interest in the conference in the previous years, these papers will also be reviewed and selected for acceptance by the program committee. This category covers corporate papers, best practices, new technologies, policy issues etc and the conference committee are eager to obtain submissions from industry, government and other sectors for this category.
However, marketing papers will not be accepted for the conference.
The conference committee can accept only a limited number of papers in each category and the acceptance ratio in the past few years was about 30-40% of submitted papers only. All accepted papers will be published in electronic form on the Conference CD-ROM. The best papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal in Computer Virology, a research journal published by Springer Verlag.
