____________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident Handling ____________________________________________________________________________ Location and Dates: Hyatt Dulles August 6-8, 1991 At Dulles International Airport Herndon, Virginia Description: The Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident Handling will consist of tutorials, invited addresses, paper sessions, and workshop/ discussion sessions on topics relevant to responding to computer security incidents. The presentations will provide a forum to discuss advances in theory and practice that improve the state of this field. Theoretical, applied, tutorial, or descriptive papers selected for presentation will appear in the conference proceedings to be published after the Workshop. The Third Workshop on Computer Security Incident Handling is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute. Submissions are solicited for the following sessions: Tutorials (half-day): Tutorials should cover topics such as network security and methodologies/strategies for incident handling. The purpose of each tutorial should be to allow someone who has little or no knowledge about incident handling to learn the basic issues/concepts in this arena. Paper Sessions: Proposals for paper sessions (approximately 30 minutes in length) should address one of the following areas: o Network intrusions (including case studies, etiologies, and intrusion detection efforts) o Vendor activities o Procedures and policies for responding to incidents o Threats (including threat and attack models, descriptions of coordinated efforts to intrude into networks, and cracking tools) o Legal issues o Tools o Vulnerabilities and malicious code o Ethical issues Workshops (half-day): Proposals to lead workshop sessions covering topics such as network security, relationships between incident response teams, and lessons learned from responding to incidents are also solicited. Submissions: Proposals should be 300 - 500 words in length. Please do not send submissions that are significantly shorter or longer. Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently submitted for journal publication. Each manuscript will be submitted to a rigorous refereeing process. Proposals should have a title page that includes the title of the paper, full name of its author(s), affiliation(s), complete physical and electronic address(es), telephone number(s), and a 300-500 word description of the purpose and major ideas to be presented.
