=============================================================================

16th International Conference on 
Detection of Intrusions and Malware & Vulnerability Assessment 

Gothenburg, Sweden - 19-20 June, 2019 
https://www.dimva2019.org/ 

=============================================================================

# Important Dates: 

- Extended Paper Submission Deadline: 22 February 2019, 23:59:59 UTC 
- Notification to Authors: 12 April 2019 
- Final Paper Submission Deadline: 22 April 2019 
- Conference: 19-20 June 2019 


# General Information 

The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing the state 
of the art in the broader areas of intrusion detection, malware analysis, 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 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 Lecture Notes 
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. 


# Types of Submissions Solicited: 

DIMVA solicits submissions of high-quality, original scientific papers 
presenting novel research on malware analysis, intrusion detection, 
vulnerability assessment, and related systems security topics. Submissions of 
two types are invited: 

FULL PAPERS, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers are 
limited to 20 pages in Springer LNCS format, including bibliography and 
appendices. 

SHORT PAPERS, presenting original, still ongoing work that has not yet reached 
the maturity required for a full paper. Short papers are limited to 10 pages in 
LNCS format, including bibliography and appendices. Short papers will be 
included in the proceedings. The title of short papers must start with the words 
"Extended Abstract". 

Papers that do not follow the above formatting guidelines may be rejected 
without review. 


# Indicative topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 

## Intrusions 
- Novel approaches and domains 
- Insider detection 
- Prevention and response 
- Data leakage, exfiltration, and poisoning 
- Result correlation and cooperation 
- Evasion and other attacks 
- Potentials and limitations 
- Operational experiences 
- Privacy, legal, and social aspects 
- Targeted attacks 

## Malware 
- Automated analyses 
- Behavioral models 
- Prevention and containment 
- Classification 
- Lineage 
- Forensics and recovery 
- Underground economy 
- Vulnerabilities in malware 

## Vulnerability detection 
- Vulnerability prevention 
- Vulnerability analysis 
- Exploitation and defenses 
- Hardware vulnerabilities 
- Situational awareness 
- Active probing 

Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, correctness, and clarity. 
We expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable reproducibility of the 
experimental results. We encourage papers that bridge research in different 
communities. We also welcome experience papers that clearly articulate lessons 
learnt. 


#Submission Guidelines:

DIMVA 2019 will adopt a double-blind reviewing process. All submissions should be 
appropriately anonymized. Author names and affiliations must be excluded from the 
paper. Furthermore, authors should avoid obvious self-references, and should cite 
their own previous work in third person, whenever necessary. Papers that are not 
properly anonymized risk being rejected without review.

Submissions must be original work and may not be under submission to another venue 
at the time of review. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to 
physically present the submitted work at the conference, for the paper to be 
included in the proceedings.

Papers can be submitted using the following submission website: https://dimva2019.hotcrp.com


# Ethical Considerations: 

Submissions that report experiments with data gathered from human subjects 
should disclose whether the research received approval from an institutional 
ethics review board (IRB), if applicable, and what measures were adopted to 
minimize risks to privacy. 

Submissions that describe experiments related to vulnerabilities in software or 
systems should discuss the steps taken to avoid negatively affecting any 
third-parties (e.g., in case of probing of network devices), and how the authors 
plan to responsibly disclose the vulnerabilities to the appropriate software or 
system vendors or owners before publication.
