# DIMVA 2012 Call for Papers http://www.dimva.org/dimva2012 The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing the state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and vulnerability assessment. Each year, DIMVA brings together international experts from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss novel research in these areas. DIMVA 2012, to be held in Crete in Summer 2012, is organized by the special interest group Security – Intrusion Detection and Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific papers presenting novel research on malware analysis, intrusion detection, and related systems security topics. Submissions of two types are invited. - Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. - Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, ongoing work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a full paper. Short papers accepted for publication at the conference will be included in the proceedings and contain "Extended Abstract" in the title. DIMVA encourages submissions from the following broad areas. - Malware - Automated analyses - Behavioral models - Prevention and containment - Sandboxed execution - Sample acquisition - Sample triage - Attack trends - Forensics and recovery - Underground economy - Infiltration - Intrusion Detection - Novel approaches and domains - Prevention and response mechanisms - Large-scale detection - Cooperative detection - Insider and masquerade detection - Data exfiltration - Correlation - Evasion and overstimulation - Operational experiences - Vulnerability Assessment - Vulnerability detection - Vulnerability prevention - Fuzz testing - Classification and evaluation - Situational awareness ## Important Dates - 24 Feb 2012 -- Paper submission deadline (23:59 EST) - 13 Apr 2012 -- Acceptance notification - 30 Apr 2012 -- Camera-ready deadline ## Paper Submission Instructions Submissions should present original, unpublished work that is not concurrently under submission to another venue with proceedings or a journal. Simultaneous submission, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. Submissions found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to rejection without review, and further appropriate actions may also be taken. ### Formatting Submissions must be a total of 20 pages for full papers and 10 pages for short papers, including all references and appendices. Submissions must be in English, and should be prepared according to the format of the Springer LNCS series (http://www.springeronline.com/lncs).

Please use the instructions for "Proceedings and Other Multi-Author Volumes" for your authoring system. Submissions must be made in PDF format, and should render correctly in a recent version of Adobe Reader.
