Workshop on Bio-inspired and Computational Intelligence Systems in Cyber Security (BCISCS 2012) - August 21-22, 2012, Odense, Denmark.
http://egyptscience.net/BCISCS2012/
in Conjunction with (EISIC 2012), http://www.eisic.eu/.

In order to protect Internet users from identity theft, phishing, spam and other cyber infrastructure threats, we need flexible, adaptable and robust cyber defense systems, which can make intelligent decisions (in near real-time) in detecting wide variety of threats and attacks, including active and passive attacks, external attacks and internal misuses, known and unknown attacks, viruses and spam, etc. Computational Intelligent (CI)- and Bio-inspired (BI)- techniques appears to be promising to enhance cyber security measures, and have been increasingly applied in the area of information security and information assurance. Moreover, the multi-faceted CI and BI approaches appear to provide a new security paradigm to deal with influx new threats in a large network of computers.
