In cooperation with:

The theme of the conference is the protection of computer networks. The conference will draw participants from academia and industry in Europe and beyond to discuss hot topics in applied network and systems security.

EC2ND invites submissions presenting novel ideas at an early stage with the intention to act as a discussion forum and feedback channel for promising, innovative security research. While our goal is to solicit ideas that are not completely worked out, and might have challenging and interesting open questions, we expect submissions to be supported by some evidence of feasibility or preliminary quantitative results.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Intrusion Detection
• Denial-of-Service
• Privacy Protection
• Security Policies
• Peer-to-Peer and Grid Security
• Network Monitoring
• Web Security
• Vulnerability Management and Tracking
• Network Forensics
• Wireless and Mobile Security
• Cryptography
• Network Discovery and Mapping
• Incident Response and Management
• Malicious Software
• Web Services Security
• Legal and Ethical Issues

Submitting a Paper

You are hereby invited to submit papers up to 6-8 single-spaced pages long. We particularly encourage position papers on preliminary work that shows promise, rather than mature and well-polished papers. Surprising results and thought-provoking ideas will be strongly favored. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Authors of accepted papers will be given the option of including their paper in the proceedings of the conference, published through Springer's LNEE (and indexed by ISI). Some papers may have to go through a shepherding process in collaboration with one of the PC members.
