VizSEC 2008 Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security
http://vizsec.org/workshop2008/
September 15, 2008 / Cambridge, MA USA
In conjunction with RAID 2008
Extended submission deadlines:
Poster and Demo submissions - August 1, 2008
The 5th International Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security will
provide a forum for new research in visualization for computer security. We
are pleased to be holding this year's meeting in conjunction with the 11th
International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection. The
VizSec Workshop will be held at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA on
Monday, September 15, 2008.
The full and short paper deadline has passed. We are accepting submissions
(2 page abstract) for posters and demonstrations. Poster and Demo abstracts
will be made available on the VizSec web site.
This year's VizSec Keynote Speaker will be Ben Shneiderman, Professor in the
Department of Computer Science, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the
Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, and Member of the Institute for
Advanced Computer Studies at the University of Maryland at College Park. Dr.
Shneiderman will give a presentation entitled Information Forensics:
Harnessing visualization to support discovery.
As a result of previous VizSec workshops, we have seen both the application
of existing visualization techniques to security problems and the
development of novel security visualization approaches. However, VizSec
research has focused on helping human analysts to detect anomalies and
patterns, particularly in computer network defense. Other communities, led
by researchers from the RAID Symposia, have researched automated methods for
detecting anomalies and malicious activity.
The theme for this year's workshop, which will be held in conjunction with
RAID 2008, will be on bridging the gap between visualization and automation,
such as leveraging the power of visualization to create rules for intrusion
detection and defense systems. We encourage VizSec participants to stay for
the RAID Symposium and RAID participants to come a day early to participate
in VizSec. There will be a discount for joint registration.
We also solicit papers that report results on visualization techniques and
systems in solving all aspects of cyber security problems, including:
* Visualization of Internet routing
* Visualization of packet traces and network flows
* Visualization of intrusion detection alerts
* Visualization of attack tracks
* Visualization of security vulnerabilities
* Visualization of attack paths
* Visualization of application processes
* Visualization for forensic analysis
* Visualization for correlating events
* Visualization for computer network defense training
* Visualization for offensive information operations
* Visualization for building rules
* Visualization for feature selection
* Visualization for detecting anomalous activity
* Deployment and field testing of VizSec systems
* Evaluation and user testing of VizSec systems
* User and design requirements for VizSec systems
* Lessons learned from development and deployment of VizSec systems
Posters
Posters can be used to describe work in progress or updates to previously
published VizSec research or R&D. Poster submissions should consist of a 2
page abstract. Poster will be presented at the VizSec/RAID reception.
Abstracts will be made available on the web site.
Demos
Demonstrations can be used to show new or updated development efforts. Demo
submissions should consist of a 2 page abstract. Demonstrations will take
place at the VizSec/RAID reception. (You will need to bring a laptop for
demos.) Abstracts will be made available on the web site.

This conference covers all aspects of visualization and issues affecting
successful visualizations. The conference has grown rapidly over the
years and has attracted participants from throughout the world.
Submissions are peer reviewed with an acceptance rate of ~50% making the
quality of the conference and its publications extremely high. We invite
you to contribute quality papers covering research results as well as
works-in-progress.
The papers from this conference will be published in a bound Proceedings
available from SPIE. Authors of the best papers in the conference will
have the option of having extended versions of their papers reviewed for
publication in the Journal of Electronic Imaging or a future special
issue of the Journal of Electronic Imaging focusing on visualization.

GAZING INTO THE 21st CENTURY
Second international conference on Image Science in Goettweig
October 16th -18th 2008
www.donau-uni.ac.at/dis
Never before has the world of images changed so fast and the way images are produced transformed so drastically as in recent times. Second Life, Micromovies, Flickr, Virtual Reality, YouTube, Visual Music, Scientific Visualisation, Google Earth etc. are keywords standing for a multitude of new possibilities for individual producing, projecting and distributing of visual material.
The images historical development between innovation, reflection and iconoclasm reaches a new level of global complexity in the 21st century. These transformations have hit society to a large extent unprepared. Nevertheless we have to recognize that we will not be able to handle the knowledge burst of our time without further development of new forms of visualization and orders of visibility.
What inspiration do these new worlds of images gain from art? What influence does the medium have on the iconic character of the image? What chances and challenges do image dealers and museums face with the liquidity of the image?
Together with international colleagues from science and art and keynotes by Felice FRANKEL (Harvard University, MIT), Barbara STAFFORD (Chicago) and Peter WEIBEL (ZKM) the conference will discuss the inventory, classification and historiography of the recent worlds of images concerning the worlds of art, popular culture and science.
The lectures and discussions will cover the following topics:
* NEW IMAGE FORMS AND TECHNIQUES
* NEW STRATEGIES IN VISUAL ARGUMENTATION
* NEW PRACTICES OF IMAGE TRANSFER
Lectures among others by: Prof. Dr. Marie-Luise ANGERER, KHM; Dr. Elize BISANZ, University Lueneburg; Prof. Dr. Oliver GRAU, Danube University; Dr. Stefan HEIDENREICH, Humboldt-University Berlin; Mag. Jan HENSELDER, Berlin; Dr. Susanne HOLSCHBACH, HGB Leipzig; Dr. Harald KRAEMER, University Bern; Prof. Dr. Ann-Sophie LEHMANN, University Utrecht; Mag.
