All topics related to the contribution of machine learning approaches to 
the security of organisations’ systems and data are welcome. These 
include, but are not limited to:

--ML for the security and dependability of networks, systems, and software
--ML for open-source threat intelligence and cybersecurity situational 
awareness
--ML for data security and privacy
--ML for cybersecurity forensic analysis
--ML for the development of smarter security control
--ML for the fight against (cyber)crime, e.g., biometrics, 
audio/image/video analytics
--ML for vulnerability analysis
--ML for the analysis of distributed ledgers
--ML for malware, anomaly, intrusion and spam detection
--Adversarial machine learning and the robustness of AI models against 
malicious actions
--Interpretability and Explainability of machine learning models in 
cybersecurity
--Privacy preserving machine learning
--Trusted machine learning
--Data-centric security
--Scalable/big data approaches for cybersecurity
--Deep learning for automated recognition of novel threats
--Graph representation learning in cybersecurity
--Continuous and one-shot learning
--Informed machine learning for cybersecurity
--User and entity behavior modeling and analysis

PAPER SUBMISSION
================

MLCS welcomes both research papers reporting results from mature work, 
recently published work, as well as more speculative papers describing 
new ideas or preliminary exploratory work. Papers reporting industry 
experiences and case studies will also be encouraged.

Submissions are accepted in two formats:
- Regular research papers with 12 to 16 pages including references. To 
be published in the proceedings, research papers must be original, not 
published previously, and not submitted concurrently elsewhere.
- Short research statements of at most 6 pages. Research statements aim 
at fostering discussion and collaboration. They may review research 
published previously or outline new emerging ideas.

All submissions should be made in PDF using the Microsoft CMT and must 
adhere to the Springer LNCS style.
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ECMLPKDDWorkshopTrack2025/Track/4/Submission/Create

At least one author of each accepted paper must have a full registration 
and be in Porto to present the paper. Papers without a full registration 
or in-presence presentation won't be included in the post-workshop 
Springer proceedings.
