PS4CS 2012 - Second International Workshop Scientific Analysis and Policy Support for Cyber Security (SA&PS4CS-2012)

The Workshop is dedicated to the methods of scientific analysis and policy support for response to cyber intrusions and attacks. The main topics of the Workshop are detection, discrimination, and attribution of various activities of malefactors and response to cyber intrusions and attacks including national level information operations as well as identifying emergent cyber technologies supporting social and political activity management and trans-national distributed computing management.

The Workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in multiple disciplines concerning scientific analysis and policy support for cyber security to exchange ideas and to learn the latest developments in this important field.

This Workshop could promote internationally shared understanding of the technically supportable indications and warnings for various types of intrusions and attacks, from the isolated to the highly coordinated, and from the forensic to strategic.

The Workshop is planned on the last day of MMM-ACNS-2012.
