Title and scope:
The previous International Conferences "Mathematical Methods, Models and
Architectures
for Computer Networks Security" (MMM-ACNS-2001
(http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns01/),
MMM-ACNS-2003 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns03/), MMM-ACNS-2005
(http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns05/) and MMM-ACNS-2007
(http://www.comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns07/ ) organized by St. Petersburg
Institute for
Informatics and Automation, Binghamton University (SUNY) were successful.
These
conferences demonstrated the high interest of the international scientific
community to
the theoretical and practical aspects of the computer network and
information security.
The goals of MMM-ACNS-2010 Conference (http://www.comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns10/)
to bring
together leading researchers from academia and governmental organizations as
well as
practitioners to advance the states of the art and practice in the area of
computer
networks and information security with a focus on novel theoretical aspects
of computer
network security, facilitate personal interactions and discussions on
various aspects
of information technologies in conjunction with computer network and
information
security problems arising in large-scale computer networks.
The MMM-ACNS-2010 Conference will be carried out together with the First
International
Workshop “Scientific Analysis and Policy Support for Cyber Security”
(SA&PS4CS-2010)
(http://www.comsec.spb.ru /saps4cs10/) dedicated to the methods of
scientific analysis
and policy support for response to cyber intrusions and attacks. The
Workshop is
planned on the last day of MMM-ACNS-2010.
MMM-ACNS-2010 Objectives:
The main objectives of the MMM-ACNS-2010 Conference are to discuss
state-of-the-art in
mathematical methods and models for computer networks and information
security to
promote a better understanding of recent achievements and trends in the
computer
network security, as well as making use of recent achievements in the area
of advanced
information technologies for computer network and information assurance.
SA&PS4CS-2010 Objectives:
Cyber security is receiving a significant international attention given
recent network
attacks involving Russia, Estonia, USA, China and many other countries. The
Workshop
aims to bring together researchers and practitioners involved in multiple
disciplines
concerning scientific analysis and policy support for cyber security to
exchange ideas
and to learn the latest developments in this important field. We are
planning to invite
researchers from the Human Behavior, Network Security, Artificial
Intelligence (mainly
in the fields of intelligent data analysis, adversarial planning and game
theory) and
Autonomous Agents communities (mainly software agent technology) to
integrate their
respective technologies and develop a research agenda to detect and analyze
attacks by
Cyber Militias, detect and analyze the mechanisms used by Bot Armies, detect
and block
intrusions. SA&PS4CS’2010 main topics are detection, discrimination, and
attribution of
various activities of malefactors and response to cyber intrusions and
attacks
including national level information operations as well as identifying
emergent cyber
technologies supporting social and political activity management and
trans-national
distributed computing management.
