NFSP-2013 Call for Papers

Cyber space has become an integrated part of human society. At the same
time, has also been providing convenient platforms for crimes, such as
financial fraud, information phishing, distributed denial of service
attacks, and fake message propagation. Especially, the emergence of social
networks has introduced significant security and privacy issues to the
public. It is a great and new challenge of fighting against criminals in
the cyber space. This field involved various disciplines, such as
networking, information theory, mathematical modelling, data mining,
machine learning, image and voice processing, neural network, pattern
recognition, cryptography and forensic criminology.

NFSP-2013 will be held at Philadelphia, USA, injunction with ICDCS 2013,
which is a top conference in computer science.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

• Anonymous system and forensics

• IP traceback

• Malware detection

• Botnet identification

• Networked video system

• Biometric security and forensics

• Emotion identification via video

• Wireless forensics, security and privacy

• Game theory in forensics, security and privacy

Submission Guidelines

To submit your paper, please go to
http://www.faculty.umassd.edu/honggang.wang/nfsp2013/, and follow the link
“Submit your papers”. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with
papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with proceedings. All paper submissions should
follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format. Long Paper submission can
have 10 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for
publication, an over-length fee will be charged to each of the over-length
pages, at $200 per page in the final camera-ready version. Short Papers, on
the other hand, are allowed to be up to 5 pages. Papers will be selected
based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of
presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission of a paper
should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at
least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present
the work.

The accepted papers will be published by IEEE digital library, and indexed
