(School of Management Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, India), Rajneesh Ranjan Jha (IBS Hyderabad, IFHE University, Hyderabad, India) The purpose of this article is to examine the dimensionalities, mechanisms, and the conditions under which information characteristics of the corporate employment website influence job seekers' job pursuit intention and recommendation intention. Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework, the data collected from 181 active job seekers posit that the effects of information characteristics, such as information relevancy, information accuracy, and information timeliness on organizational attractiveness are mediated by job seekers' attitudes towards the website, which in turn direct to create job pursuit intention and intention to recommend. Furthermore, it is also postulated that the relationship between the above-said characteristics and attitude towards the website is moderated by the perceived privacy concern of the job seekers. In addition, the article results also supported that the relationship between job seekers' website attitude and organizational attractiveness is moderated by perceived organizational reputation.

Call for papers The 14th International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems (CRiSIS) 29-31 October 2019, Hammamet, Tunisia http://crisis2019.redcad.org The International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems 2019 will be the 14th in a series dedicated to security issues in Internet-related applications, networks and systems. Internet has become essential for the exchange of information between user groups and organizations from different backgrounds and with different needs and objectives. These users are exposed to increasing risks regarding security and privacy, due to the development of more and more sophisticated online attacks, the growth of Cyber Crime, etc. Attackers nowadays do not lack motivation and they are more and more experienced. To make matters worse, for performing attacks have become easily accessible. Moreover, the increasing complexity as well as the immaturity of new technologies such as pervasive, mobile and wireless devices and networks, raise new security challenges. In this context, new security mechanisms and techniques should be deployed to achieve an assurance level acceptable for critical domains such as energy, transportation, health, defence, banking, critical infrastructures, embedded systems and networks, avionics systems, etc. The CRiSIS conference offers a remarkable forum for computer and network security actors from industry, academia and government to meet, exchange ideas and present recent advances on Internet-related security threats and vulnerabilities, and on the solutions that are needed to counter them. === TOPICS === The topics addressed by CRiSIS range from the analysis of risks, attacks to networks and system survivability, to security models, security mechanisms and privacy enhancing technologies.

30 Apr '19

** 1st Model-driven Simulation and Training Environments for Cybersecurity Workshop ** **************************************************************************** ************ 1st Model-driven Simulation and Training Environments for Cybersecurity Workshop (MSTEC) within The European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2019) Luxembourg - September 27, 2019 https://www.threat-arrest.eu/html/mstec/ **************************************************************************** ************ **** Abstract **** The 1st Model-driven Simulation and Training Environments for Cybersecurity (MSTEC) addresses recent advances in the field of cyber modeling and simulation. It is aimed at providing a forum of practitioners and researchers to discuss cyber modeling and simulation (M&S) as well as its application to the development of cyber-security training scenarios and courses of action (COAs). Specifically, it will focus on the verification and validation (V&V) process, which provides the operational community with confidence in knowing that cyber models represent the real world, and will discuss how defense training may benefit from cyber models. It will also investigate advances in emulators, simulators and their potential combination. The workshop papers are expected to take a holistic approach to the overall system assurance process, presenting advances in the simulation of people, policies, processes, and technologies currently available in the field. The workshop aims to connect the multiple threads that currently compose cyber modelling and simulation into a coherent view of what is usable in order to train experts and non-computer-savvy users toward and assured operation of critical systems. The workshop will precede the ESORICS 2019 conference. MSTEC encourages systems security researchers to share early iterations of bleeding-edge ideas with the community, before they are further developed into full papers. Reciprocally, authors receive feedback to help steer and improve their research to its full potential. **** Topics of Interest **** We invite submissions of full research and survey papers as well as posters on related topics to cybersecurity, including but not limited to: - Cyber threat and training preparation models - Cyber models and training design - Cyber ranges for cybersecurity training and training facility - Training platforms and evaluation scenarios - On-line training procedures and courses of action (COAs) - Training adaptation and training for non-cybersecurity experts - Gamification and serious games - Modeling and simulation for cyber training (M&S) - Simulation and emulation of information systems, networks, and cyber attacks - Real-time monitoring and visualization - System assurance verification and validation (V&V) In accordance with the spirit of MSTEC, we also seek: - Quantified or insightful experience with existing systems - Reproduction or refutation of previous results - Negative results and early ideas **** Important dates **** Paper submission deadline: May 31, 2019 (AoE, UTC-12) Acceptance notification: June 30, 2019 Final paper due: July 31, 2019 **** Paper submissions **** Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings. The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). All submissions should follow the LNCS template (available from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) from the time they are submitted. Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages (using 10-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be written in English.
