BCISCS 2012 - Workshop on Bio-inspired and Computational Intelligence Systems in Cyber Security (BCISCS2012)

Workshop on Bio-inspired and Computational Intelligence Systems in Cyber Security (BCISCS2012)
Under the framework of the 2012 European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC 2012)
will be held on August 22-24, 2012 in Odense, Denmark

= General Information =

In order to protect Internet users from Identity Theft, Phishing, Spam and other cyber infrastructure threats, we need flexible, adaptable and robust
cyber defense systems, which can make intelligent decisions (in near real-time) in detecting wide variety of threats and attacks, including active and
passive attacks, external attacks and internal misuses, known and unknown attacks, viruses and spam, etc. Computational Intelligent (CI)- and
Bio-inspired (BI - techniques appears to be promising to enhance cyber security measures, and have been increasingly applied in the area of information security
and information assurance. Moreover, the multi-faceted CI and BI approaches appear to provide a new security paradigm to deal with influx new threats in
a large network of computers.
