Visualization fr Cybersecurity 2022 - Call for Paper - VizSec 2022

Greetings!
We are happy to announce that the VizSec 2022 Call for Paper is now open.
June 22, 2022 Submission deadline for full, short and position papers
July 18, 2022 Author notifications
Aug 08, 2022 Camera ready submissions and copyright forms due
Event Date: October 19, 2022
We are cordially inviting you to participate in the 19th IEEE Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) 2022, to be held in conjuction with the 2022 IEEE VIS.
*** Full CfP on the Website https://vizsec.org/vizsec2022/ ***
VizSec brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to address the needs of the cybersecurity community through new and insightful visualization and analysis techniques. VizSec program will be presented in a hybrid format with virtual presentations.
We are soliciting Technical (Full), Short, Poster, and Position Papers.
Technical Papers
Full papers describing novel contributions in security visualization are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, theory, analysis, experiments, or evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices.
Submissions including tests and evaluations of the proposed tools and techniques are encouraged. If possible, making test data available will be considered positively. If you do not have real-world data, you may check the VizSec dataset links. Please see past years proceedings and websites to see the quality and examples of previous submissions. Previous VizSec papers may be found on the VizSec Papers Browser and on IEEE Xplore.
Short Papers
Short papers describing initial research results, case studies, or incremental work on the above topics are solicited. We encourage papers discussing the introduction of cyber security visualizations into operational context, including, but not limited to:
- Cases where visualization made positive contributions towards meeting operational needs
- Gaps or negative outcomes from visualization deployments
- Situations where visualization was not utilized, but could have had a positive impact
- Lessons learned from operational engagements
- Insights gained from the transition process
Position Papers
Position papers discuss or reconsider forgotten topics relevant for the VizSec community. They should report a clear position on the target topic and should also suggest a proposal or actions. They should stimulate imaginative and hypothesis-driven research. In particular, we encourage submissions both from researchers inside the visualization community and outside, such as researchers and practitioners from pure cybersecurity domains who currently do not broadly employ visualization in their work.
Posters
Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress, preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec community. The poster session offers a timely venue to present and discuss these submissions through active engagement with the community. The presentation of posters will take place in a hybrid event, with 1-2 dedicated hybrid sessions in which authors can meet and discuss their work with conference participants. An additional web presence of posters will supplement the traditional physical installation. More concrete details will follow soon.

Awards
There will be an award for the best full paper from the accepted program. This award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall quality as determined by the program committee. Key elements of the selection process include whether papers include evaluation, repeatable results, and open-source data or software. Authors of the best paper will be invited to submit an article about their work to the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics journal.
There will also be an award for Best Poster. This award will recognize authors’ efforts to clearly present their work to the audience. The award will be determined by anonymous judges and given to recipients at the end of the conference
Submissions
The VizSec 2022 Proceedings will be published by IEEE. Submissions must be formatted using the IEEE VGTC conference proceedings template that can be found at: https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conferen...
VizSec full papers are limited to 9 pages of content plus an additional 2 pages of references. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices or any pages past the maximum. Short papers must be at most 4 pages plus 1 page of references. Position papers must be at most 4 pages total including references. Posters must be 2-page abstracts. Presenters are also encouraged to submit an accompanying video or other supplementary materials by following the IEEE VIS formatting guidelines.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merit. Reviews are single-blind, so authors may include names and affiliations in their 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. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.
VizSec uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) to handle their paper and poster submissions and reviewing processes.

VizSec 2022 Publicity Chair
