Call for Poster Submissions 5th Annual Hot Topics in the Science of Security (HoTSoS) Symposium April 10-11, 2018, Raleigh, North Carolina https://cps-vo.org/group/hotsos Poster submissions are solicited for the 5th Annual Hot Topics in the Science of Security (HoTSoS) Symposium, which will be held April 10-11, 2018 at the StateView Hotel in Raleigh, North Carolina on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University. The symposium will include a mix of invited talks, refereed papers, panels, tutorials, and posters. As in prior years, papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by ACM Press. >>> Scope, Goals, and Vision <<< HoTSoS draws together researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders from government, industry, and academia. The conference provides a forum for dialogue centered upon the development and advancement of scientific foundations in cybersecurity. The technical emphasis of HoTSoS is on scientific methods, data gathering and analysis, experimental approaches, mathematical models, and the interactions among those approaches to build a foundational science of security. The HoTSoS vision is one of engaging and growing a community—including researchers and skilled practitioners from diverse disciplines—that is focused around the advancement of scientific methods. >>> Topics of Interest <<< We invite submissions on any topic related to science of security that aligns with the conference scope and goals listed above. The 2018 HoTSoS will highlight the following themes: *. Scalability and composability in the construction of secure systems, *. Policy-governed collaboration for handling data across different domains of authority while ensuring security and privacy, *. Security metrics to guide choice-making in security engineering and response, *. Resilient architectures that can deliver service despite compromised components, *. Analysis of human behavior, including modeling users, operators, and adversaries, to support improved design and analysis, *. Foundational research related to privacy that allows for the ability to use (i.e., collect, store, and share) data in accordance with requirements, and *. Foundations for the security of cyber-physical systems, including applications to the Internet of Things. >>> Important Dates <<< Poster Submissions: February 23, 2018 Conference: April 10-11, 2018 >>> Submission Requirements <<< ~~~~~~ Poster submission deadline. Submissions of posters must be made by the deadline of Friday February 23, 2018 (anywhere on Earth) through https://cps-vo.org/hotsos18/poster-cfp. *** Posters.
