AIWC 2012 - 13th Australian Information Warfare Conference
Topics/Call fo Papers
The aim of the 13th Australian Information Warfare Conference (IWAR 2012) is to inform participants on research and practice in traditional, contemporary and future evolutions of information warfare. Information warfare is becoming an increasingly diverse discipline that exists within a constantly changing social environment.
With shifts in the usage and types of information available, there has been a steady move towards corporate and personal awareness of the information warfare space. This year’s theme is "Information Warfare: evolving threats in the modern world" in recognition of the increased publicity of government sanctioned cyber tactics and more personalised attacks utilising social media sources. The highly publicised Stuxnet and Flame worms are a potential foreshadowing of an escalated threat. Recent revelations of the origin of these threats clearly show that cyber systems are firmly entrenched as the new battlefield.
Papers are invited in the following areas, but not limited to:
? Information operations theory and practice
? Psychological operations
? Critical infrastructure protection and vulnerability
? Application of information warfare in contemporary and non-military environments
? Use of social media for influence operations
? Case studies in application of information warfare
All submitted papers will be double blind peer reviewed.
