CSCI-ISCW 2017 - The International Symposium on Cyber Warfare, Cyber Defense, & Cyber Security (CSCI-ISCW)

Cyber Warfare adds an additional dimension to warfare. Generally, it
involves the battlespace use and targeting of computers and networks in
warfare. Cyber Warfare strategies include both offensive and defensive
operations pertaining to the threat of cyberattacks, espionage, sabotage,
disruptions to infrastructures, theft of critical information, and
publishing deliberate misinformation (fake news and fabricated news)
spread via traditional media and online social media with the intend to
mislead in order to disrupt the political processes of nations. The
methods and technologies utilized in Cyber Warfare can be countered
using Cyber Defense strategies. Cyber Defense strategies involve the
heavy and targeted use of Cyber Security. Topics of interest include:
- Cyber Warfare Technologies and Strategies
- Cyber Defense Technologies and Strategies
- Authorization Infrastructures
- Autonomous Security Methods
- Novel Biometric Methods
- Cloud Security
- Forensic Technologies
- Cryptography and Formal Methods

Publisher:
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration.
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the 2017
International Conference on Computational Science and Computational
Intelligence (CSCI: http://americancse.org/events/csci2017 ):
CPS: https://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/
All past CSCI proceedings have been indexed into IEEE Xplore Digital
Library and can be accessed via ieeexplore.ieee.org . For the specific
IEEE Xplore links to CSCI proceedings, refer to:
http://americancse.org/events/csci2017/publication
Instructions for Submission of Papers for Evaluation:
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE CPS:
https://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/
in the proceedings of The 2017 International Conference on
Computational Science and Computational Intelligence (CSCI'17).
All past CSCI proceedings have been indexed into IEEE Xplore Digital
Library and can be accessed via ieeexplore.ieee.org . For the specific
IEEE Xplore links to CSCI proceedings, refer to:
http://americancse.org/events/csci2017/publication
Papers should be typeset by using the general typesetting
instructions available at:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences...
(i.e., use of regular Times New Roman, font size of 10, single line
spacing, 2-column format). Authors of accepted papers will later
receive more specific typesetting instructions. All submissions must
be original (papers must not have been previously published or
currently being considered by others for publication).
Submissions must be in either MS doc or pdf formats (6 pages for
Regular Research Papers; 4 pages for Short Papers; 2 pages for
Poster Papers - the number of pages include all figures, tables, and
references). The first page should include:
- Title of the paper.
- Name, affiliation, city, country, and email address of each author
(identify the name of the Contact Author).
- Abstract (about 100 words).
- A maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the work
described in the paper (see the list of topics).
- Write the type of the submission as "Full/Regular Research Papers",
"Short Papers", or "Poster Papers".
- Write "CSCI-ISCW"
The actual paper can start from the first page (space permitting).
Submissions are to be uploaded to the submission/evaluation web site
portal at: http://american-cse.org/
Type of Submissions/Papers:
- Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 6 pages):
Regular Research Papers should provide detail original research
contributions. They must report new research results that represent
a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for
the results and conclusions should also be provided. The work
presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of
maturity that with some additional work can be published as journal
papers.
- Short Papers (maximum of 4 pages):
Short papers report on ongoing research projects. They should provide
overall research methodologies with some results. The work presented
in short papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with
some additional work can be published as regular papers.
- Poster Papers (maximum of 2 pages):
Poster papers report on ongoing research projects that are still in
their infancy (i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to
provide research methodologies without yet concrete results.
Review Process:
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by 2 to 4 peers (except for papers that
are philosophical in nature - such papers would be considered for panel
discussions.) Confidentiality of submitted material will be maintained.
Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, impact, significance,
quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference
program and diversity. Papers whose authors include one or more members
of the program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded
review process. Authors whose papers are not selected for publication
can submit a rebuttal letter; rebuttals will be evaluated by 4 members
of the Program Committee. 156057
Deadlines (EXTENDED) - Dates:
October 22, 2017: Submission of Papers (11:59pm US Eastern Time Zone).
Paper submission portal (for evaluation):

Note that authors who have submitted papers in
response to the earlier "Call For Papers" will receive
decisions and status reports by around October 19.
