Call for Paper: 5th ACM Workshop on Recurring Malware (WORM) 2007
The Call for Paper for the 5th ACM Workshop on Recurring Malware (WORM) 2007 is now available. I am very proud to be one of the members of the program committee and would love to see many submissions to the workshop.
Important dates:
The workshop will be held at November 2nd, 2007 at George Mason University, VA, USA, in association with the 14th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS).
About WORM:
Internet-wide infectious epidemics have emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and service availability. Self-propagating threats, often termed worms, exploit software weaknesses, hardware limitations, Internet topology, and the open Internet communication model to compromise large numbers of networked systems. Malware is increasingly used as a beachhead to launch further malicious activities, such as installing spyware, deploying phishing servers and spam relays, or performing information espionage. Unfortunately, current operational practices still face significant challenges in containing these threats as evidenced by the rise in automated botnet networks and the continued presence of worms released years ago. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas, increasing understanding, and relating experiences on malicious code from a wide range of communities, including academia, industry, and the government.
Important dates:
- Paper submissions due: Sunday, June 17th, 2007
- Notification to authors: August 7th, 2007
- Final papers due: August 22nd, 2007
