The International Conference on Cyber Situational Awareness, Data Analytics and Assessment (CyberSA 2015) is an international referred conference dedicated to the advancement of the principles, methods and applications of situational awareness on Cyber Systems, Business Information Systems (BIS), Computer Network Defence (CND), Computer Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoTs).

The aim of the CyberSA 2015 is to encourage participation and promotion of collaborative scientific, industrial and academic inter-workings among individual researchers, practitioners, members of existing associations, academia, standardisation bodies, and including government departments and agencies. The purpose is to build bridges between academia and industry, and to encourage interplay of different cultures.

CyberSA 2015 invites researchers and industry practitioners to submit papers that encompass principles, analysis, design, methods and applications. All submitted papers are independently peer-reviewed.

Details
CyberSA 2015 is co-located with other conferences part of Cyber Science 2015.

Posters will be presented during the conference.
Industry track is available for discussing and publishing pilot and proof of concepts.
Work in Progress track is available for preliminary work.
Research Ideas track is available for ideas in early stages assessment.
PhD Seminar track is available for discussing and publishing early PhD thesis research.

All Industry track, Work in Progress track, Research Ideas track and PhD Seminar track will be published in the conference proceedings. Interested participants, please email your proposal to submission@C-MRIC.org

Full paper submission should be via Easychair Conference Site

Submission Instructions - Both long (8 pages max., roughly 8,000 words) and short (4 pages max., roughly 4,000 words) paper submissions should be written in English and be submitted electronically via the conference web site. Submission file formats are PDF and Microsoft Word using the C-MRiC Word/PDF templates that can be found at the corresponding C-MRiC website. Authors wishing to present a Poster/Industry track/WIP/PhD Seminar and/or demo may submit a 1‐page extended abstract, which, if accepted, will appear in the conference proceedings.
