Call For Papers - RAID'2001

REMINDER: Deadline for submissions is March 30th 2001

Fourth International Symposium on the
Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection

Dates: October 10-12, 2001
Davis, CA, USA

This  symposium,  the fourth  in  an  annual  series, brings  together
leading  figures from  academia, government,  and industry  to discuss
state-of-the-art intrusion detection  technologies and issues from the
research   and  commercial   perspectives.   The   RAID  International
Symposium  series  is  intended   to  further  advances  in  intrusion
detection  by promoting  the exchange  of ideas  in a  broad  range of
topics.

RAID'98,  held  in Louvain-la-Neuve,  Belgium,  was  the  first in  an
anticipated annual  series of international Symposia  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,
held in Purdue,  Indiana, was hosted by CERIAS  and welcomed more than
180 participants  from academia, government  and industry.  RAID'2000,
hosted  by   ONERA  in  Toulouse,  France,  welcomed   more  than  130
participants from academia (50%), government (20%) and industry (30%),
40%   coming  from   USA   and  Canada,   60%   from  Europe.    After
Louvain-la-Neuve, Purdue and Toulouse, RAID is being locally organized
in 2001 by University of California at Davis.

The RAID'2001  program committee invites submission  of both technical
and  general  interest papers  and  panels  from  those interested  in
formally presenting their ideas  during the symposium.  RAID'2001 will
welcome full papers, short papers and panel proposals. Full papers are
intended for  presenting mature research  results, and short  ones for
work-in-progress presentations. We also  seek panel submissions in the
same areas.

The following sorts of topics are within scope:

  Assessing, measuring and classifying intrusion-detection systems:
    Accuracy and reliability measurements, requirements, and technologies
    Benchmarking techniques and technologies
    Relations to risk assessment and risk management plans
    Quantitative assessment of IDS

  IDS cooperation:
    Alert correlation and attack scenario analysis
    Impact on false positives

  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:
    Vulnerability or attack databases
    Vulnerability or attack taxonomies
    Using vulnerability databases
    Attack description languages

  IDS Integration:
    IDS interoperability Standards and standardization
    Integration with the system/network management framework
    Combining different styles of IDS

  Innovative Approaches:
    Intrusion tolerance
    Adaptive IDS solutions
    Survivability and dependability
    Data mining, intelligent agents
    New IDS methodologies and technologies
    Automated responses
    Combining IDS and system/network management
    Intrusion-detection at the application level

  Practical Considerations
    Case studies
    IDS in heterogeneous environments
    IDS as an intrinsic component of the multi-layer
        computing/communications environment
    Unique/emerging IDS operating environments
    Legal issues
    Storage Requirements for evidence purposes
    Evidence storage/log requirements, handling and exchanges
    Commercial intrusion detection systems and their directions
    Real-time versus post-mortem IDS
    IDS integration with business process


RAID submissions  are peer-reviewed. Full papers will  be published by
Springer Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).  A distinct publication
of short papers is also planned.
