Scope of Conference:


The recent developments in cyber security are due to the essential need for organizations to investigate and develop
software systems and tools to protect their information assets, including critical government and commercial
infrastructures. The most critical of these assets are in transportation, health, and finance service information systems.

SwSTE2016 focuses on cyber security trends and other topics in software science, technology, and engineering. It
provides a unique opportunity for researchers, scientists, practitioners, and managers from Israel and abroad to meet and
share their ideas, results, and experiences.


Structure of Conference: One-and-half-day conference which will include:

• Keynote talks, presented by leading researchers and entrepreneurs
• Small group meetings of industry, academic, VCs, and specific domain business collaboration
• Focused-track sessions, in which selected research papers will be presented
• Field seminars in the Negev


Topics of interest: While a paper on any topic relevant to software practice and research will be considered, special
emphasis will be given to papers dealing with Cyber Security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
cryptograpic techniques, privacy trust and anonymity, machine learning and digital forensics, mitigation of cyber attacks,
hacking technques, cyber warfare, cybercrime, cyber terrorism, reliability and automatic recovery, ethical and legal
considerations, formal proof methods, authentication authorization and integrity issues, wired and wireless network
security, data base security, kleptography, etc.

Submissions and Participation: Papers submitted to the conference should contain original contributions. SwSTE2016’s
international program committee will select the papers to be presented. The SwSTE2016 conference proceedings will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society and will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Submitted papers must
conform to the IEEE two-column conference style. See the required template at: http://www.computer.org/web/peer-review/journals;jsessionid=eccbd55dd82f48581f15ffb0193b#templates.


Each paper is limited to ten pages and submitted electronically to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swste2016.

We look forward to your submissions and participation.
