################################################################## IJCAI’15 Workshop on
Behavioral, Economic and Computational Intelligence for Security (BECIS) July 25-27, 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina Extended Deadline: May 8 ################################################################## Workshop Website: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/boan/events/ijcai15security/ Call -------------------------------------- There is a large and growing interest in applying models and techniques at the intersection of artificial intelligence, game theory, operations research, machine learning, social science and psychology to solve problems related to security, which is one of the grand challenges for engineering in the 21st century. In fact, the last five years have seen systems developed and applied to real-world domains including but not limited to randomized patrol planning for the Los Angeles International Airport police, Federal Air Marshal Service, US Coast Guard and Los Angeles Metro System. While there has been significant progress, there still exist many major challenges facing the design of effective approaches to deal with the difficulties in adversarial domains including physical security and cyber security. These challenges include designing efficient algorithms for adversarial reasoning, improving the robustness of solutions, creating better models of human decisions under bounded rationality, and learning from available data to improve solution quality and adaptation to new conditions. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration from different communities including artificial intelligence, game theory, operations research, social science, and psychology. This workshop is structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas between members from these communities as well as researchers from industry and the public sector. Important dates -------------------------------------- * May 8, 2015 - Submission of contributions to workshops * May 20, 2015 - Workshop paper acceptance notification * May 30, 2015 - Submission of camera-ready version * July 25-27, 2015 - Workshop takes place in conjunction with IJCAI 2015 Keywords -------------------------------------- Topics include but are not limited to: * Security games * Security applications of AI methods * Network security and cyber warfare * Game theory foundations * Algorithms for scaling to very large games * Behavioral game theory * Protection against environmental crime * Agent/human interaction for preference elicitation and optimization * Risk analysis and modelling * Machine learning for security * Economic analysis of security * Evaluation/lessons learned of deployed systems Submissions -------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers (maximum 7 pages), describing their work on one or more of the topics relevant to the workshop. Alternatively, participants may submit a shorter paper (maximum 3 pages) presenting a research statement or perspective on topics relevant to the workshop. Accepted papers will be presented during the workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. Authors are requested to prepare their papers by following the IJCAI 2015 submission formatting guidelines at: http://ijcai-15.org/downloads/FormattingGuidelinesIJCAI-15.zip. Papers should be submitted in PDF using the EasyChair conference system available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=becis2015. We welcome the submission of papers rejected from the IJCAI 2015 technical program. Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least two program committee members. For questions about the submission process, please contact the workshop co-chairs. Reviewing process -------------------------------------- Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members. Criteria for selection of papers will include: technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity.
