[AISWorld] DESRIST 2018 Final CFP - DSR in Cybersecurity

[Miloslava Plachkinova]

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts on Design Science Research (DSR) in Cybersecurity to the 2018 DESRIST conference (http://desrist2018.com), which will take place on 3-6 June, 2018 in India. Below are the submission deadlines:
  *   Full Paper submission due: 1st Feb, 2018
  *   Research in Progress Submission due: 12th Feb, 2018
  *   Notification for acceptance: 15th March, 2018
  *   Final manuscript due for Springer LNCS Proceedings: 30th March, 2018

Track description:

In spite of the growing efforts to improve best practices, cybersecurity remains a significant challenge for organizations. Some of the recent breaches in healthcare, finance, government, and education demonstrate the need to take a different approach to the problem. DSR offers a unique perspective to overcoming challenges by incorporating a rigorous theoretical foundation to solve real world problems. Thus, taking a DSR approach to cybersecurity can provide further enhancements in the field and potentially prevent future security breaches.

The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for researchers to demonstrate how growing security concerns can be overcome utilizing DSR methods. We encourage the submission of novel artifacts and theories, empirical research findings, case studies, methodologies and other high-quality manuscripts. In this track we seek to address important questions such as: How can DSR be used to improve the current state of cybersecurity? How can new artifacts be utilized to support cyber defense efforts? How can a highly practice-oriented field such as cybersecurity benefit from a more rigorous scientific approach?

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Novel artifacts in cybersecurity
  *   DSR Methodological issues within cybersecurity research
  *   DSR approach to security and privacy concerns
  *   Behavioral issues in information security
  *   Cybersecurity DSR applications across the disciplines
  *   Development and evaluation of security education, training and awareness (SETA) programs
  *   Secure software design
  *   Risk assessment and management
  *   Development and evaluation of digital forensics tools

Thank you for your interest and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
