SafeConfig 2017 - International Workshop on Applying the Scientific Method to Active Cyber Defense Research

The focus of this workshop will be the application of scientific practices to cyber security research. The research may address a wide variety of technical questions in the cyber domain and the maturity of the work can span the range of initial ideas and proofs of concept to mature work that is ready for operational implementation. The content of the papers should emphasize the implementation of science practices and the tradeoffs between simplifications to obtain interpretable results vs. observational studies of systems in the wild where the results can lead to ambiguous interpretations. Papers will be evaluated for the reproducibility of the work as represented by the documentation of methods and testing environments.
