Call for Papers

A large fraction of the population in the world now spends a great deal of
time in cyberspace. Cyberspace has become a critical infrastructure that is
embedded in almost all other critical infrastructures and enables every
movement of human society. It is thus very much in the public interest to
have a safe and secure cyberspace.
In the past several years, there has been large number of attacks in
cyberspace, such as attacks on the Internet, attacks on embedded/real-time
computing and control systems, and attacks on dedicated computing
facilities. Many research efforts have been made to achieve cyberspace
safety and security, such as blocking and limiting the impact of
compromise, enabling accountability, promoting deployment of defense
systems, and deterring potential attackers and penalizing attackers.
In this context, we focus our program on Cyberspace Safety and Security,
such as authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy,
confidentiality, dependability and sustainability issues of cyberspace. The
aim of this symposium is to provide a leading edge forum to foster
interaction between researchers and developers with the cyberspace safety
and security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to network
with experts in this area. The symposium will be a highly focused,
professional, high quality, and social event.
Previously CSS has been held in Milan, Italy (2011), Chengdu, China (2009),
and Sydney, Australia (2008).
