CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of the International Journal on Network Management (IJNM):  
"Measure, Detect and Mitigate – Challenges and Trends in Network Security"

Submission Deadline: December 1, 2014 Publication: September, 2015

Scope of the Special Issue

Cybercrime  has  developed  rapidly  within  the last  decade  and  in
particular  the  last  years  have  seen an  unprecedented  amount  of
attacks. Despite  increased national  as well as  international effort
against cybercrime  and the global financial  crisis, cybercrime still
has double-digit annual  growth rates. On the one  hand, more and more
services  and  systems  migrate  to  the Internet  and  cloud  storage
systems. On the other hand, the commercial success of the Internet and
the possibilities to carry out attacks from a relatively safe distance
attracts criminals and made  e-Crime to a multi-billion dollar market.
In addition,  recent trends have  highlighted that not  only end-hosts
are  the  target of  attacks,  but  also  the Internet  infrastructure
itself, with attacks  aiming at impeding the functioning  of e.g., the
Domain Name System (DNS) or Internet backbones. 

The  dramatic   trends  in  attack  evolution   call  upon  innovative
solutions. Nowadays,  detection and mitigation of  network attacks are
more than ever a must.  However, current solutions need to evolve fast
in order to  cope with new attack scenarios. The  goal of this Special
Issue  is  twofold.  We  encourage,  on the  one  hand,  contributions
characterizing and  measuring emerging  network threats; on  the other
hand  we  welcome submissions  presenting  cutting-edge detection  and
mitigation  techniques effective against  network attacks  and insider
activities in today and  future small-to-enterprise sized networks and
in backbones.

Areas of Interest

Contributions in the following areas are of specific interest, but not
limited to:
* Identification and Classification of Attacks
* Network Measurements to Understand Cyber-criminal activities
* Network Attacks Characterization
* Multi-Layer Network Detection
* Inter-Domain and Cooperative Detection and Mitigation
* Detection in Encrypted Networks
* Supervised/Unsupervised Network Detection
* Alert and Event Correlation
* Visualization of Network Attacks and Alerts
* Interaction of Detection Systems and Exchange Formats
* Future Trends in Network Detection and Mitigation
* Mitigation of Large-Scale Distributed Attacks
* Novel Network Measurements and Data Analyses of Internet Malware
