                 Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection

		 Dates: September 7-9, 1999
		 West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

This workshop, the second in an ongoing annual series, will bring
together leading figures from academia, government, and industry to
discuss state-of-the-art intrusion detection technologies, and
paradigms and issues from the research and commercial perspectives.

The RAID International Workshop series is intended to further progress
in intrusion detection by promoting the exchange of ideas in a broad
range of topics among researchers, system developers, and users and by
encouraging links between these groups. RAID'98, held in
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, was the first in an anticipated annual
series of international workshops that has brought together leading
figures from academia, government, and industry to ponder the current
state of intrusion detection technologies and paradigms from the
research and commercial perspectives. More than 130 participants
attended RAID'98, with nearly 50% from outside Europe, reflecting the
international nature of the meeting.

RAID'99 is being hosted by the Purdue University CERIAS, in West
Lafayette, Indiana, USA. The program committee invites submission of
both technical and general interest papers and panels from those
interested in formally presenting their ideas during the
workshop. This year, we are emphasizing following topic areas:

    Assessing IDS
        Accuracy and reliability measurements, requirements, and technologies
        Benchmarking techniques and technologies
        Relations to Risk Assessment and Risk Management Plans

    IDS in High Performance and Real-Time Environments
        Large-scale/enterprise IDS
        High-Speed networks
        Managing high-volume data
        Highly distributed and heterogeneous environments

    Vulnerabilities and Attacks
        New vulnerability or attack databases
        Vulnerability or attack taxonomies
        Using vulnerability databases

    IDS Integration
        IDS interoperability Standards and Standardization - progress and
        assessment
        Integration with the system/network management framework
        Combining different "styles" of IDS

    Innovative Approaches
        Adaptive IDS solutions
        Survivability and Dependability
        Data mining, intelligent agents
        New results related to innovative ways of thinking about IDS, new IDS
        methodologies and technologies
        Automated responses
        Combining IDS and system/network management

    Practical Considerations
        Case studies
        IDS in heterogeneous environments
        Unique/emerging IDS operating environments, including CORBA, NT,
           X.509 and VPN.
        Legal issues (IDS reports as "evidence")
        Commercial intrusion detection systems and their directions
        Real-time versus Post-mortem IDS
        IDS integration with business process

SUBMISSIONS
===========

Papers and panels which fall into the topic areas outlined above are
particularly welcome, although contributions outside those topics may
also be of interest. Each submission must contain:

1. A separate title page with:
    The type of submission,
    The title or topic,
    The topic category most appropriate for the subject matter;
    The name(s) of the speaker or panel chair and probable panelists,
    with their organizational affiliation(s), telephone and FAX numbers,
    postal address, and Internet electronic mail address.

2. A brief biography of each author or panel participant as appropriate

3. The subject category (see topic list) most appropriate for the
   paper or panel

Paper submissions must include an abstract that is a maximum of 600
words in length on a separate page. This abstract may be accompanied
by a lengthier paper, which should be no more than ten pages (12 point
font). Although encouraged, it is not necessary to submit a full paper
for consideration as a speaker or for inclusion in the proceedings;
however, potential speakers providing full paper submissions will be
given preference in cases of equal quality. The program committee will
allocate each accepted presenter up to 30 minutes for the talk, based
on the complexity and interest of the proposed topic and the wishes of
the speaker. The presenter will be informed of the presentation slot
length when notified of acceptance.

Panel submissions must include a description that is a maximum of 300
words. The description should include both an outline of the format of
the panel and a short rationale for the panel. The program committee
will allocate one to two-hour time slots to each panel, based on the
proposed topic, the number of panelists, and the wishes of the panel
chair. The panel chair will be informed of the slot length when
notified of acceptance. Panels which include time for general
discussion and questions/answers for the panelists and the attendees
are preferred to those which do not.

All proposals must be in English. Plan to give all panels and talks in
English.

All submissions must be received on or before May 21. We strongly prefer they be submitted electronically to raid99@zurich.ibm.com or raid99@cs.uidaho.edu using one of these formats: ASCII, postscript, Word, or LaTex. All abstracts will be made available on the web. For those submitting full papers, these submissions should be in a format which can be translated to PDF .
