----------------------------------------------
Security and privacy have been the major concern when people design
computer networks and systems. In recent years, there has been
significant increase in network and system attacks, such as frauds,
distributed denial of service, viruses, worms, spyware, and malware,
etc, causing huge economical and social damage. While the attack tools
have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has
greatly increased in the field of building more effective, intelligent,
robust, autonomous and adaptive security systems. It is envisioned that
the large-scale adaptive security system will be essential to provide
comprehensive protection to networks and systems in the future. The aim
of such an adaptive security system is to provide authentication, access
control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality,
dependability and sustainability to networks and systems, with
autonomous and adaptive capabilities. However, building such a system
faces significant challenges. We expect the adaptive security system to
be
* self-organizing and can deal with different attacks without central
control, and through contextual interactions with the peer nodes;
* adaptive and broad-spectrum to both known and unknown attacks with
high true positive detection rate and low false positive detection rate;
* able to counteract the distributed intelligent attack systems which
have the learning capability; and
* collaborative and optimized to intelligently safeguard the networks
and systems with low management and maintenance cost.
These challenges need to be addressed under joint efforts from different
areas such as network security, computer communications, AI, autonomic
computing, bio-inspired techniques for security, adaptive systems, and
others.
>>Topics
----------------------------------------------

autonomous and adaptive security system theories, technologies, and
real-life applications. Original papers are solicited for this special
issue. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Adaptive Security System Theories
* Adaptive security architectures, algorithms, and protocols
* Autonomic learning mechanisms in security systems
* Intelligent attack systems and mechanisms
* Interactions between autonomic nodes of security systems
* Modeling of adaptive attack and defense mechanisms
* Theories in adaptive security systems
Adaptive Security System Technologies
* Adaptive security systems design
* Adaptive security systems implementation
* Adaptive intrusion detection/prevention systems
* Self-organizing identity management and authentication
* Adaptive defense against large-scale attacks
* Simulation and tools for adaptive security systems
Adaptive Security System Applications
* Benchmark, analysis and evaluation of adaptive security systems
* Distributed autonomous access control and trust management
* Autonomous denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
* Autonomous wireless security systems
* Autonomous secure mobile agents and middleware
* Adaptive defense against viruses, worms, and other malicious codes
>>Important Dates
----------------------------------------------
Submission deadline: 15 Mar 2009
Notification date: 15 May 2009
Camera-ready due: 15 Jul 2009
Expected publication: Dec 2009
>>Submission Guideline
----------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting important
developments (or advances) in the topics related to the special issue.
The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original
research not published nor currently under review by other journals or
conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted. If an earlier
version of the manuscript was published/accepted in conferences, authors
should state so in the cover letter. The manuscript must be a
substantial extension to the previously published/accepted work and a
summary of changes and a copy of the previous conference paper must be
submitted together with the submission to the special issue.
The manuscripts should be formatted according to the ACM TAAS guidelines
available from the journal homepage (http://www.acm.org/pubs/taas) and
submitted to the guest editors through email y.xiang@cqu.edu.au.
Guest editors will pre-screen submitted manuscripts for their
suitability in the issue. Submissions passing the pre-screen process
will go through a rigorous peer-review process according to the
standards of TAAS. Submitting a paper implies the willingness of
reviewing one paper submitted to the special issue.
