SCOPE AND LIST OF TOPICS:
The 2024 CSCI International Conference invites paper submissions from
diverse communities, including researchers from: universities,
corporations, government agencies, and standardization bodies. Papers
are sought that address solutions to problems in all areas of
CSCI-RTCW (Cyber Warfare, Cyber Defense, & Cyber Security) and/or

The list of topics below is by no means meant to be exhaustive.
--> SCOPE OF CSCI-RTCW (Cyber Warfare, Cyber Defense, & Cyber Security):
Prologue:
Cyber Warfare adds an additional dimension to warfare. Generally, it
involves the battlespace use and targeting of computers and networks
in warfare. Cyber Warfare strategies include both offensive and
defensive operations pertaining to the threat of cyberattacks,
espionage, sabotage, disruptions to infrastructures, theft of
critical information, and publishing deliberate misinformation (fake
news and fabricated news) spread via traditional media and online
social media with the intend to mislead in order to disrupt the
political processes of nations. The methods and technologies utilized
in Cyber Warfare can be countered using Cyber Defense strategies.
Cyber Defense strategies involve the heavy and targeted use of Cyber
Security. Topics of interest include:
Cyber Warfare Technologies and Strategies; Cyber Defense Technologies
and Strategies; Authorization Infrastructures; Autonomous Security;
Novel Biometric Methods; Forensic Technologies; Cryptography;
Trapping Technologies; Data Protection Methods; Security and Reverse
Engineering; Vulnerability Analysis; Steganography and Steganalysis;

INVITATION:
You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. CSCI
International Conference is composed of a number of Research Tracks,
sessions, workshops, posters and panel discussions; all will be held
simultaneously, same location and dates: December 11-13, 2024.
There will be multiple Keynote lectures and Invited Talks; speakers
include world-renowned scientists and educators. The names of
Featured Keynote Speakers in recent years can be found at:
https://www.american-cse.org/csci2024/keynotes
In case of hesitation by some authors/speakers to travel during
Year 2024 (due to COVID-19), the CSCI Steering Committee has
developed a policy in regards to presentation options/modes - See:
https://www.american-cse.org/csci2024/presentation_modes
In summary: This year's conference will be a hybrid event, combining
a live, in-person experience with a virtual, online component. Last
year, 71% of participants attended in person.
