Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security
Call for Papers
The AI-CyberSec workshop organising committee would like to invite submissions of novel theoretical and applied research in all areas where AI and cybersecurity intersect. These include the effective use of AI technologies in defensive/offensive security applications, the malicious use of AI technologies, and the improvement of the security and resilience of AI technologies. Example submission areas include (but are not limited to):
Topics
AI for cybersecurity:
AI and ML for intrusion detection/prevention and cyber attack mitigation
AI for cyber investigation and threat intelligence
AI and ML for biometric and continuous authentication
Integration of AI and Blockchain for security critical infrastructures
Applications of AI and ML for security orchestration, automation, and response
AI-based cybersecurity techniques for smart interconnected devices, IoT, smart cities
Advanced AI techniques to secure future Internet architectures/protocols
Explainability and interpretability of AI cybersecurity systems
Ethical aspects of AI cybersecurity systems
Malicious use of AI:
AI attacks with novel insights, techniques, or results
AI in attacks targeting cyber-physical systems, IoT, smart cities
Automation of tasks in cyber-offense
Automation of social engineering attacks
Automation of vulnerability discovery
Exploiting AI/ML used in cybersecurity systems
Cybersecurity for AI:
Cybersecurity of connected and autonomous devices
AI and risk management in AI supply chains and similar applications
Robustness of AI models
Privacy management, privacy-preserving ML and data leak prevention
Adversarial attacks on AI and defensive strategies
Submission & Format
Submissions can be made as:
Long papers (10-14 pages + 2 page references, single column): Long papers should present original research work and be no longer than sixteen pages in total: fourteen pages for the main text of the paper (including all figures but excluding references), and two additional pages for references.
Short papers (7-9 pages + 1 page reference, single column): Short papers may report on works in progress, descriptions of available datasets, as well as data collection efforts. Short paper submissions should be no longer than nine pages in total: eight pages for the main text of the paper (including all figures but excluding references), and one additional page for references.
Both long and short papers must be formatted according to ceurart styles/SGAI guidelines and submitted electronically through EasyChair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aicybersec2021. The ceurart styles can be found from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
The papers accepted for AI-CyberSec 2021 shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Authors will also be invited to submit the extended version of their papers to the special issue: "Selected Papers from the AI-CyberSec 2021 Workshop in the 41st SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence" of the electronics journal (impact factor 2.4). More information can be found here https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/special_issues/AI_CyberSec_2021_Workshop The publication costs for authors in the special issue (open access) shall be funded by the IDUN programme and we encourage female authors and co-authors to submit papers to the workshop.
