HMTC 2015 - International Workshop on Human-Machine Teaming in Cyber (HMTC 2015)

Cyber security is a domain for which researchers have struggled to understand the boundaries, scope, and limitations. The cyberspace environment involves very large numbers of possible states, includes data from multiple abstraction layers (sometimes simultaneously), and contains physical and non-physical entities, all of which are dynamic, complex, interactive, and context dependent. Successful approaches to solving problems in cyber security and cyber data analysis tend to be exploratory or learning-based because the foundational elements and technologies change rapidly. Additionally, since cyberspace is fundamentally an adversarial domain, cyber security problems are often human-centered and exist in a social context.
The 2015 International Workshop on Human-Machine Teaming in Cyber (HMTC 2015) is focused on exploring the issues related to how humans and agents work in cyber security and cyber data analysis, and how that work is facilitated through automation.
CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
The Workshop on Human-Machine Teaming in Cyber (HMTC 2015) will be held as part of the 2015 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2015). We are interested in high-quality research conducted through case studies, cognitive task analyses, empirical investigations, cognitive/behavioral modeling and simulation, agent-based and multi-agent modeling and simulation, system design and evaluation studies, and other related methodologies that better define and explore the link between the roles, responsibilities, and tasks of humans and automated systems in cyber.
HMTC Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
Studies of the human-machine interface involved in cyber tasks;
Automated information sharing among human-cyber teams;
Information requirements for cyber tasks;
Exploration of the increasing role of automation in cyber security;
The design of agent-based assistants and multi-agent systems to carry out roles in cyber;
Other forms of collaborative cyber work involving humans and agents or facilitated by automation technologies.
