CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE

Dear Colleague,

The ARIS2 cordially invites you to submit your scientific work to this 
Special Issue of Artificial Intelligence in CyberSecurity, to be 
published on June 25 of 2022.

Cyberspace has completely revolutionized our ways of life prompting 
important progress in science and technology. However, the advantages of 
cyberspace are now threatened by the systemic risk of proliferation of 
offensive cyber-tools and cyber-operations.

Cybersecurity is the practice of securing networks, systems, and any 
other digital infrastructure from malicious attacks. Traditional 
cybersecurity relies on the static control of security cyberspace 
monitoring according to the pre-specified rules. However, this passive 
defense methodology is no longer useful in protecting cyberspace against 
new cybersecurity threats.

The focus of this special issue is on exploring how AI today impacts 
cybersecurity, for better and for worse, as well as the opportunities 
and challenges that result. We are interested in both research and 
practice focusing on how attackers can use AI to augment the attack kill 
chain, as well as how defenders are evolving AI-based cybersecurity to 
respond to the challenge. More research-oriented contributions may 
explore novel attacks or defenses, whereas more practical contributions 
may review the threat landscape or develop tools/datasets to support 
research in this space.

Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:

Adversarial machine learning and the robustness of AI models against 
malicious actions
AI approaches to trust and reputation
AI and blockchain for cybersecurity and privacy
AI for cryptography
AI for cyber investigation and threat intelligence
AI for cybersecurity management in cyber-physical systems
AI for intrusion detection and prevention
AI for malware identification and analysis
AI for phishing detection and prevention
AI for spam detection
AI for GDPR compliance
AI for secure future Internet architectures/protocolsBig data analytics 
for security
Distributed inference and decision making for security
GDPR compliance of AI
Graph representation learning in cybersecurity
Interpretability and Explainability of AI models in cybersecurity
Model confidentiality
Open-source threat intelligence and cybersecurity situational awareness
Privacy-preserving AI
Security of deep learning systems
Trustworthy data collection and processing using AI techniques
Expected Contributions and Submission Information

The submitted manuscripts (up to 25 pages including references, tables, 
and figures) must be written in English and describe original research 
neither published nor currently under review by other journals or 
conferences.

Parallel submissions will not be accepted. All submissions will be 
peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical 
strength, significance, quality of presentation, and relevance to the 
special issue topics of interest.

The review process of ARIS2 is Double-Blinded. The submissions should be 
prepared according to the guidelines of ARIS2 Journal.

Important Dates

Full paper submission deadline: March 30, 2022
First-round review to authors: May 30, 2022
Publication: June 25, 2022
