---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MaL2CSec: Workshop on Machine Learning for Cybersecurity KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden, June 20, 2019 https://mal2csec.ucm.es ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conference website https://mal2csec.ucm.es Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mal2csec Abstract registration deadline March 31, 2019 Submission deadline March 31, 2019 Topics: This workshop aims at providing a forum for people from academia and industry to communicate their latest results on theoretical advances, industrial case studies, that combines machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning, adversarial machine learning, and deep learning with significant problems in cybersecurity. Research papers can be focused on offensive and defensive applications of machine learning to security. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - Adversarial training and defensive distillation - Attacks against machine learning - Black-box attacks against machine learning - Challenges of machine learning for cyber security - Ethics of machine learning for cyber security applications - Generative adversarial models - Graph representation learning - Machine learning forensics - Machine learning threat intelligence - Malware detection - Neural graph learning - One-shot learning; continuous learning - Scalable machine learning for cyber security - Steganography and steganalysis based on machine learning techniques - Strength and shortcomings of machine learning for cyber-security This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive. Papers that are considered out of scope may be rejected without full review. We encourage submissions that are "far-reaching" and "risky." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE = UTC-12h) ( https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe). Research Papers Pre-registration of abstract March 31, 2019 Submission deadline March 31, 2019 Notification April 27, 2019 Camera ready deadline May 12, 2019 Workshop June 20, 2019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions for Paper Submissions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All submissions must be original work. Plagiarism (whether of others or self) will be grounds for rejection. The submitter must clearly document any overlap with previously published or simultaneously submitted papers from any of the authors. Failure to point out and explain overlap will be grounds for rejection. Simultaneous submission of the same paper to another venue with proceedings or a journal is not allowed and will be grounds for automatic rejection. Submitting multiple distinct papers is of course allowed. MaL2CSec 2019 includes an author response period, which gives authors the chance to comment on reviews their papers received. Papers may not be withdrawn between the start of the author response period and acceptance notification. Contact the program committee chairs if there are questions about this policy. Anonymous Submission ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers must be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review: no author names or affiliations may appear on the title page, and papers should avoid revealing their identity in the text. When referring to your previous work, do so in the third person, as though it were written by someone else. Only blind the reference itself in the (unusual) case that a third-person reference is infeasible. Contact the program chairs if you have any questions. Papers that are not properly anonymized may be rejected without review. Page Limit and Formatting ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers must not exceed 10 pages total (including the references and appendices). Papers must be typeset in LaTeX in A4 format (not "US Letter") using the IEEE conference proceeding template with the appropriate options [LaTeX template, Template instructions, IEEE Template Repository]. Failure to adhere to the page limit and formatting requirements can be grounds for rejection. Submission ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions must be in Portable Document Format (.pdf). Authors should pay special attention to unusual fonts, images, and figures that might create problems for reviewers. Your document should render correctly in Adobe Reader XI and when printed in black and white. Conference Submission Server ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers must be submitted using Easychair platform ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mal2csec) and submissions may be updated at any time until the deadline for submissions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committees ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chairs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luis Javier García Villalba, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Julio César Hernández Castro, University of Kent, United Kingdom Ana Lucila Sandoval Orozco, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Program Committee ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudia Jacy Barenco Abbas, University of Brasilia, Brazil Michael Brengel, Center for Information Security (CISPA), Germany Manuela Cabral, Policia Judiciaria - Ministerio da Justiça, Portugal Michele Carminati, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Andrés Caro, Uniersidad de Extremadura, Spain Steven de Muler, Belgian Federal Police, Belgium Robson de Oliveira Albuquerque, University of Brasilia, Brazil Rafael Timoteo de Sousa Junior, University of Brasilia, Brazil Jesús E.
