CALL FOR PAPERS (http://weis2016.econinfosec.org/call-for-papers/)
________________________________________________________________________________

The 15th Annual Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS
2016)
University of California, Berkeley, June 13-14, 2016


The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading
forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security and
privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science,
business, law, policy, and computer science. Prior workshops have explored
the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of information
systems, examined human behavior surrounding security decision-making,
identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks
of personal data
disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense. WEIS 2016 will build
on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools not only to understand
threats, but also to strengthen security and privacy through novel
evaluations of available solutions.

We encourage economists, computer scientists, legal scholars, business
school researchers, security and privacy specialists, as well as industry
experts to submit their research and participate by attending the workshop.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) empirical and theoretical
studies of:

-    Optimal investment in information security
-    Models and analysis of online crime (including botnets, phishing, and
spam)
-    Risk management and cyber-insurance
-    Security standards and regulation
-    Cyber-security and privacy policy
-    Security and privacy models and metrics
-    Economics of privacy and anonymity
-    Behavioral security and privacy
-    Vulnerability discovery, disclosure, and patching
-    Cyber-defense strategy and game theory
-    Incentives for information sharing and cooperation
-    Incentives for and against pervasive monitoring threats


Manuscripts should represent significant and novel research contributions.
Due to its interdisciplinary nature, WEIS has no formal formatting
guidelines. Previous contributors spanned fields from economics and
psychology to computer science and law, each with different norms and
expectations about manuscript length and formatting.

Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the
Journal of Cybersecurity, a new, interdisciplinary, open access journal
published by Oxford University Press.

Thanks to our sponsors, a number of student travel grants are also
available.
