Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached the CFP for the 17th Australian Cyber Warfare Conference

Important dates:

Papers due: 10th August, 2018.
Notification of reviewing outcome: 31st August, 2018.
Final papers due: 24th September, 2018.
Papers should be submitted to: matthew.warren at deakin.edu.au
Registration Cost: $440

The aim of the 17th Australian Cyber Warfare Conference (CWAR 2018) is to inform participants on research and practice in traditional, contemporary and future evolution of cyber and information warfare. We have seen that Cyber and Information warfare is becoming an increasingly diverse discipline that exists within a constantly changing social environment.

With shifts in the usage and types of information available, there has been a steady move towards corporate and personal awareness of the information warfare space. This year’s theme is "Cyber Warfare:  the threat facing Australia" in recognition of the increased publicity of government sanctioned cyber tactics and more personalised attacks utilising social media sources. The highly publicised Stuxnet, Wannacry and malware attacks are a potential foreshadowing of an escalated threat. Recent revelations of the origin of these threats clearly show that cyber systems are firmly entrenched as the new battlefield.

Papers are invited in the following areas, but not limited to:
•Cyber warfare;
•Information operations theory and practice;
•Information Warfare;
•Psychological operations;
•Critical infrastructure protection and vulnerability;
•Cyber Influence;
•Application of information warfare in contemporary and non-military environments;
•Use of social media for influence operations;
•Case studies in application of cyber and information warfare.

All submissions will be in English and will take the form of a paper of between 2500-3000 words. All submission should be in Microsoft Word format.

The papers will be double reviewed for relevance to the conference.

The Australian Cyber Warfare Conference was formally the Australian Information Warfare Conference. The 17th Australian Cyber Warfare Conference is being run as part of the AISA 2018 Australian Cyber Conference.

Regards,

Matt Warren
