For its 15th anniversary, the RAID symposium changes its name from "Recent
Advances in Intrusion Detection" to "Research in Attacks, Intrusions and
Defenses". The new name reflects the broader scope of the conference that
now aims at bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from
academia, government, and industry to discuss novel research contributions
related to any area of computer and information security.

As in previous years, all topics related to intrusion detection and prevention
are within scope. In addition, topics of interest also include but are not
limited to:

* Intrusion detection and prevention
* Malware prevention, detection, analysis, and containment
* Web application security
* New attacks against computers and networks
* Insider attack detection
* IDS cooperation and event correlation
* Intrusion detection assessment and benchmarking
* Formal models, analysis, and standards
* Deception systems and honeypots
* Vulnerability analysis
* Digital forensics
* Secure Software Development
* Adversarial machine learning for security
* Visualization techniques
* Legal, social, and privacy issues
* Network exfiltration
* Botnet analysis, detection, and mitigation
* Phishing and Spam detection and prevention
* Security and privacy in cloud computing
* Online money laundering and Underground economy
* Hardware vulnerabilities
* Binary analysis and Reverse engineering
* Security and Privacy of Social Networks
* Smartphone Security
* Embedded System Security

Types of Submissions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAID 2012 invites two types of submissions:

* Full papers presenting mature and novel research results.
Papers accepted by the Program Committee will be presented at RAID 2012
and included in the Symposium's proceedings published by Springer in
its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Each paper must include
an abstract and a list of keywords, and must not exceed 20 pages in
total length, formatted in LNCS-style and including the
bibliography and any appendices.

* Poster abstracts describing works in progress, or innovative
ideas not mature enough to be presented as a full paper.
Posters are submitted for review in the form of an extended abstract
that has to be formatted in LNCS-style and not exceed 2 pages in length.
In addition, posters titles should always start with the phrase
"Poster Abstract:". Accepted posters will appear in the proceedings and
will be presented at the symposium in a separate session.

All submissions (papers and poster abstracts) must be formatted
according to the instructions provided by Springer
(http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html) and then submitted
electronically; details will be provided on the conference web site.
Papers must list all authors and their affiliations; RAID does not
require anonymized submissions. For accepted papers, at least one of
the authors must attend the conference to present the paper.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that has
already been published elsewhere or is submitted in parallel to a
journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings.
Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues,
submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute
dishonesty or fraud. RAID, like other scientific and technical
conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may, on the
recommendation of the program chair, take action against authors who
have committed them.
Further questions on the submission process may be sent to the program
chairs.
