Overview

As a result of our increasing dependence on computer network communications and cyber
infrastructure, cyber security becomes extremely important for a wide variety of practical domains,
such as Internet service providing, banking industry and e-commerce, and privacy preserving
communications. The combination of emerging vulnerabilities, stakes, and threats has made cyber
security an actual barrier for the further development of modern cyberspace “mechanization.”
Fortunately, the research of computational intelligence (CI) has clarified the broad utility of data
mining and machine intelligence for dynamic decision making. This research leads to our proposed
research forum on efficient and robust decision support algorithms, cross-linking methods, and
Cybersecurity solutions.

The special session on Data Mining for Cybersecurity, which took place for the second consecutive
year at ICONIP, desires to bring together experts in computational intelligence disciplines and
researchers from the security community to counterattack new cyber threats with advanced
computing technology.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Intelligent intrusion detection systems,
Cyber forensic and malicious code analysis,
Spam filtering algorithms and fraud analysis,
Privacy-preserving data mining and data mining over data streams,
Text mining, text clustering, and text classification.

Submission

Accepted papers will be published in proceedings of ICONIP'09 as a Springer LNCS volume.
Extended verion of selected papers will be invited for publication in special issues of international
journals. See more information of the conference proceedings and special issues at
http://www.iconip09.org/.

It is recommended to submit the special session papers in PDF format following the
Springer LNCS format through the paper submission site, the page limit is eight A4-pages. More
