      *** 6th ACM Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Security  ***

Held in Conjunction with ACM CCS 2013
November 4, 2013 -- Berlin Congress Centre, Berlin, Germany

      *** Call for Papers ***

The potential for applying artificial intelligence (AI), machine
learning, and data mining
to security and privacy problems is ever-more lucrative. The analytic
tools and intelligent
behavior provided by these techniques makes AI and learning increasingly
important for
autonoumous real-time analysis and decision-making in domains with a
wealth of data or that
require quick reactions to ever-changing situations. Particularly, these
intelligent
technologies offer new solutions to security problems involving Big Data
analysis, which can be
scaled through cloud-computing. Further, the use of learning methods in
security-sensitive domains
creates new frontiers for security research, in which adversaries may
attempt to mislead or evade
intelligent machines.  The 2013 ACM Workshop on Artificial Intelligence
and Security (AISec)
provides a venue for presenting and discussing new developments in this
fusion of security/privacy
with AI and machine learning.

We invite original research papers describing the use of AI or machine
learning in security,
privacy and related problems. We also invite position and open problem
papers discussing the
role of AI or machine learning in security and privacy. Submitted papers
of these types may not
substantially overlap papers that have been published previously or that
are simultaneously
submitted to a journal or conference/workshop proceedings. Finally we
again welcome a
‘systematization of knowledge’ category of papers, which should distill
the AI or machine
learning contributions of a previously published series of security papers.

Regular research, systematization of knowledge, and open/position paper
submissions must be
at most 10 pages in double-column ACM format (note: pages must be
numbered) excluding the
bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 12 pages overall.
Committee members are
not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible
without them.
Submissions need not be anonymized. We recommend the use of the ACM SIG
Proceedings templates for
submissions. The ACM format is the required template for the
camera-ready version. Accepted papers
will be published by the ACM Digital Library and/or ACM Press.

Submissions can be made through EasyChair at:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisec2013
