General Information
------------------------------------
The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing the state of
the art in the broader areas of intrusion detection, malware analysis, and
vulnerability assessment. Each year, DIMVA brings together international experts
from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss novel research in
these areas.
DIMVA is organized by the special interest group Security - Intrusion Detection
and Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The conference
proceedings will appear in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series.
DIMVA 2018 will be co-located with the ESSOS conference (25-26 June 2018).
