There are several strong strands of research and interest that are developing in the area including the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident investigation. This conference is continuing to establish itself as a key event for individuals working in the field from around the world. Please consider submitting to this conference. We are interested in the entire range of concepts from theory to practice, including case studies, works-in-progress, and conceptual explorations. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: Cyberwarfare practice and theory Information security practice Cyber conflict - Neural linguistic techniques in cyberwarfare Case studies of cyber attacks in modern conflicts Human Factors Physical security SMEs - Small-to-medium Size Enterprises Security model Security implications of “virtualised machines and services The Resilience and Susceptibility of "Service Oriented Architectures" The politics of cyberwarfare, including conceptual cyberarms agreements Information security management Patriotic hackers as an extension of state power Cyber-exploitation execution and detection Dual-use technologies Potential military uses of cyber attacks Theoretical cyber conflict scenarios Cyber-terrorism Counter-terrorism security policies, procedures and legislation Critical national infrastructure protection Cyber conflict frameworks Principles of i-Warfare Information warfare policy Information warfare theory e-Health systems as part of a national critical infrastructure Information security governance and management Information warfare techniques Information warfare and security education For further details see the conference Call for Papers webpage at http://academic-conferences.org/iccws/iccws2015/iccws15-call-papers.htm A conference managed by Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited Page 1 of 4 10th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security, Kruger National Park, South Africa - 24-25 March 2015 (SOAs) Hacking Biometrics Information Assurance Malware UCE Cyber-fraud Risk Management Cryptography Wireless Treats Threat Agents – Insider threats Particle swarm data mining Virtual Intrusion Detection Collaborative decision making Security policy National security policy Computers-as-weapons Electro-magnetic pulse weapons Information operations Strategic leadership Influence campaigns Psychological warfare PSYOP - PSYOPS Firewalls Phishing and spam Current Anti Virus Technologies Mobile Virus Perception management RFID Virus Infra-structure warfare SQL Infections Data Loss Military Culture Topography Modern conflict Data Integration Military approaches ISO 27001 Gaussian empirical rule Natural computing Random numbers approximation sequence Traffic classification Subliminal Channel Acute situational awareness Aircraft Environment Digital forensics Network anomaly detection models Corporate defence mechanisms Security for small to medium enterprises Information, computer and network security Security of the virtual worlds SIMAD what can/should be done to protect against this threat?

In addition, philosophical papers presenting an argument and papers presenting a process that has been developed and is now ready for wider use are welcome. In all cases concepts and underlying principles should be emphasised, with enough background information to orient any reader who is not a specialist in the particular subject area. The work should not have been published elsewhere and should not be intended to be published elsewhere during the review period. Initially, only a 300-500 word abstract is required. See the submission guidelines on the website. Work in Progress/Posters Researchers are invited to submit current projects which are either at the proposal stage or are work in progress.

If you opt for a paper, this should be a maximum of 2000 words including abstract, keywords and references. The paper will be double-blind peer reviewed and if accepted will be published in the conference proceedings. Presentation of the work at the conference will take the form of a Poster. Posters will be on display for the duration of the conference and there will be a timetabled slot for contributors to stand by their posters so that participants can come and discuss the research. Participants will be asked to vote for the best poster and a prize will be given for the poster receiving the highest number of votes. PhD Research Doctoral Candidates are invited to submit papers describing their research. To be eligible, it is necessary for the paper to be produced to a publishable academic standard and papers will be subject to the same criteria and processes as research papers. However the final results of the research may not have been fully completed and interpreted. Wherever possible, PhD papers will be grouped together into a Colloquium for presentation at the conference and there will be a chair person and a discussant to provided constructive feedback on the work. A prize will be awarded to the best PhD paper presented at the conference. Case Study Submissions Case study submissions should be written to publishable standards. Case studies will be subject to the same criteria and the processes as research papers. Non-Academic Contributions The conference committee welcomes contributions from individuals and organisations working in the field.

The authors of abstracts that describe a relevant paper will receive a notification of abstract selection. All full papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference committee to ensure an adequate standard, that the proposed subject of their abstract has been followed, that the paper is of a suitable length, the standard of English is adequate and the paper is appropriately referenced. For authors whose first language is not English we request that you have your work proof-read prior to submission by a native English speaker (or at least a fluent English speaker). Papers can be rejected due to a poor standard of English. We do offer proof-reading services. Papers that are accepted will be published in the conference proceedings providing at least one author registers and presents the work at the Conference (see the registration section of the conference website for more information about registration). Due to the large number of papers expected for this conference, the committee prefers that an author presents only one paper. However, if multiple papers are accepted for publication and presentation, each paper requires a separate registration fee. Author registration and payment must be completed by 17 February 2015. Important Dates Abstract submission deadline: Notification of abstract acceptance: Full paper due for review (see note): Notification of paper acceptance(with any requested changes): Earlybird registration closes: Final paper submission (with changes): Final author registration date 2 September 2014 9 September 2014 21 October 2014 30 December 2014 13 January 2015 27 January 2015 17 February 2015 The conference programme committee is currently being updated.
