This symposium provides a forum for papers that address the use of modeling and simulation (M&S) in the area of information assurance or computer security as well as papers that address the means and methods needed to provide security features and assurance for simulation systems. Papers that involve improving security in simulation systems are encourage. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Modeling or simulating vulnerabilities in systems
Use of M&S in information security training
Secure software development
Secure distributed systems and networks
Protection in simulation codes and models
Scientific Visualization techniques applied to computer security
Use of M&S in security engineering
Use of M&S in network and system security
Intrusion detection and prevention
Models of secure behavior (OS models, policy models, access control models, and authentication models)
Sensor networks security
Mesh networks security
Wireless networks security
Network-centric warfare system security
