Situation Awareness Analysis for Cyberspace Security (SAACS 2021)

Scope

Situation awareness analysis for cyberspace security is the basis and premise of cyber security. Situation awareness analysis for cyberspace security refers to the acquisition, understanding and display of the security elements that cause the change of network situation in the network environment, and the postponement prediction of the development trend of cyber security situation, so as to decide what countermeasures to take.

In recent years, situation awareness analysis for cyberspace security has become a research hotspot in the field of cyber security, which can synthesize all aspects of security factors, dynamically reflect the cyber security situation as a whole, and predict and early warn the development trend of security situation, so as to provide reliable reference for enhancing cyber security. This workshop, collocated with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Data Science in Cyberspace (IEEE DSC2021), will bring big data researchers together to exchange their ideas, innovations, and novel methods for situation awareness analysis and cyberspace security based on big data. Research from various domains, including but not limited to data mining, machine learning, malicious behavior detection and situation awareness analysis for cyberspace security are highly appreciated. Attendees are invited to introduce their latest research results on theories/innovations/models/algorithms/methods of situation awareness analysis and how these innovations can be applied in real-world cyberspace security.


WORKSHOP AREAS

Topic interest include but not limited to:

1. Modelling situation awareness analysis for cyberspace security
2. Construction and reasoning of cyber security knowledge graph
3. Malicious behaviors detection
4. Malicious traffic analysis
5. Malicious code analysis
6. APT attack analysis
7. Trace to the source of cyber attack
8. Data mining for cyberspace security
9. Development tendency of cyberspace security situation
10. Situation data acquisition, understanding, analysis, prediction, etc.
