Special Session "Bio-inspired computing approaches" at IWINAC 2019
by José Santos Reyes 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Special Session "Bio-inspired computing approaches" at IWINAC 2019 (8th International Work-Conference on the Interplay between Natural and Artificial Computation), Almeria (Spain), 3-7 June, 2019 http://www.iwinac.uned.es/iwinac2019/ Overview: Bio-inspired computing methods take inspiration from nature to develop optimization and search algorithms or metaheuristics, typically in order to tackle the search of optimal solutions of complex problems in science and engineering, which usually imply a high dimensionality of the search space. Apart from the traditional evolutionary computing methods, artificial immune systems, ant algorithms or particle swarm optimization, the session is intended to focus on new bio-inspired solutions such as swarm algorithm solutions based on bee colonies, algorithms based on firefly insect behavior, artificial algae algorithm and many more, together with their combination with local search strategies or other metaheuristics. The researchers in this field must be self-critical with the boom of such new solutions, contrasting what is new and what is included in other traditional search algorithms or what novelty is provided in a new bio-inspired metaheuristic. Besides, the proposals should be competitive with other methods in the state of the art. The aim is that the session provides a meeting point for IWINAC attendees and researchers who have a current or developing interest in bio-inspired approaches and their applications. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): • Bio-inspired approaches based on animal behavior (Cuckoo search, Cat swarm, Artificial Bee Colony, Bat algorithm, Wolf search, …). • Bio-inspired approaches based on plant behavior (artificial algae algorithm, flower pollination algorithm, PIBO, …). • Bio-inspired approaches based on bacteria like BFO. • New approaches in evolutionary computing methods. • Combination of bio-inspired approaches with local search: Lamarckian strategies, Baldwinian strategies, memetic algorithms. • Combination of the bio-inspired approaches with artificial life models like cellular automata or Lindenmayer systems. • Applications with bio-inspired approaches. Full paper submission due: 31-01-2019 Submission guidelines: http://www.iwinac.uned.es/iwinac2019/paper-submission.html Organizers: José Santos (Universidade da Coruña), jose.santos(a)udc.es Ramiro Varela (Universidad de Oviedo), ramiro(a)uniovi.es

10 Oct '18

Dear Colleague, (Apologies for multiple postings) Following the positive feedback and great interest last year, we are delighted to announce the 2nd International Workshop on Big Data Analytic for Cybercrime Investigation and Prevention, co-located with IEEE Big Data conference in Seattle, USA on 10-13 December, 2018. Workshop webpage: http://folk.ntnu.no/andriis/bdaccip2018/ *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Oct 22, 2018 (extended from Oct 10, 2018): Due date for full workshop paper submissions Nov 5, 2018 (extended from Nov 1, 2018): Notification of paper acceptance to authors Nov 20, 2018 (extended from Nov 15, 2018): Latest due date for camera-ready of accepted papers Dec 10-13, 2018: Workshops *** INTRODUCTION *** The big data paradigm has become an inevitable aspect of today's digital forensics investigations. Acquiring a forensic copy of seized data mediums already takes several hours due to the increasing storage size. In addition are several other time-consuming laboratory analysis steps required, such as evidence identification, corresponding data preprocessing, analysis, linkage, and final reporting. These steps have to be repeated for every physical device examined in the criminal case. Conventional digital forensics data preprocessing and analysis methods struggle when handling the contemporary variety, variability, volume and velocity of case data. Thus, proactive approaches have to be developed and integrated in daily law enforcement operations; for timely detection and prevention of the illegal activities in a data-intensive environments. Thus, there is a need for advanced big data analytics to aid in cyber crime investigations, which requires novel approaches for automated analysis. This workshop is organized to bring together recent development in big data analysis to aid in current challenges in cybercrime investigations. *** PROPOSED TOPICS *** Note that the topics are not limited to this proposed list. 1. Algorithm areas - Machine Learning-aided analysis - Graph-based detection - Topic modelling - Improvements of existing methods - Decision Support Systems 3. Data - Novel datasets - New data formats - Digital Forensics data simulation - Anonymised case data - New data formats and taxonomies 2. Application areas - Cyber Threats Intelligence - Network Forensics Readiness - Malware Analysis & Detection - Emails mining & Authorship Identification - Social Network Mining - Events correlations - Access Logs analysis - Mobile Forensics - Fraud Detection - Database Forensics - IoT Forensics - Blockchain technologies - Industrial systems 4. Infrastructure - Secure collaborative platforms - Distributed storage and processing - Technologies for data streams - Hardware and software architectures for large-scale data *** PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS *** Andrii Shalaginov, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Katrin Franke, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Jan William Johnsen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology *** PROGRAM COMMITTEE *** Olaf M. Maennel (Tallinn University of Technology) Asif Iqbal (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) Bojan Kolosnjaji (Technical University of Munich) Martin Boldt (Blekinge Institute of Technology) Hanno Langweg (Konstanz University of Applied Sciences) Pierre Lison (Norwegian Computing Centre) Emiliano Casalicchio (Blekinge Institute of Technology) Dmitry Kangin (University of Exeter) Ali Dehghantanha (University of Guelph) Bing Zhou (Sam Houston State University) Vasileios Mavroeidis (University of Oslo) Sreyasee Das Bhattacharjee (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Shih-Chieh Su (‎Qualcomm Inc) Benjamin Flesch (Copenhagen Business School) Jan-Jaap Oerlemans (Universitet Leiden) Peter Xenopoulos (New York University) *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Our workshop invites authors to submit: full-length papers (up to ten pages), short papers (up to six pages) or abstract papers (up to three pages) through the online submission system: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2018/bigdata18/scripts/submit.php?subarea=S07… Papers have to follow the IEEE 2-column format and the Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines. ***PUBLICATION*** The authors of accepted papers must guarantee their presence at the conference for the papers to be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference in order to include the paper in the proceedings. *** BEST PAPERS *** Selected papers are nominated for submission to “Special Issue on Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Crime Investigation and Prevention”, journal "Future Generation Computer Systems". Extended papers should have at least 60% of new material and will be sent through a review process to ensure the quality of contributions. *** CONTACTS*** If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Andrii Shalaginov (andrii.shalaginov(a)ntnu.no) and Jan William Johnsen (jan.w.johnsen(a)ntnu.no) Best regards, Andrii Shalaginov, on behalf of Katrin Franke and Jan William Johnsen Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Gjøvik, Norway
