Theme

The growth of computer networks has increased the importance of cyber security ranging from homeland security to personal life. With this growth, more computer systems become vulnerable and can be misused. Research in cyber-security has demonstrated that dealing with cyber-attacks is by no means an easy task. One particular limitation of existing tools comes from the uncertainty of information gathered and used to discover attacks.The quality and adequacy of information is important to decrease uncertainty in the attack prediction process. From the theoretical perspective, information fusion focuses on new information reasoning techniques that intelligently use data collected from sensors to identify cyber-threats. Information fusion techniques have several positive and practical implications in Cyber Security: They decrease the overwhelming data analysis efforts required from security experts, since information fusion frameworks operatesimilarly to a rule created by domain experts who first notice little details that indicate a misuse and then investigate further in an attempt to build coherent explanation of the observed events. In addition, information fusion enables the identification of attacks by analyzing data about situations not individual events. Individual events may seem fairly benign when viewed individually, but when those events are analyzed through the scope ofinformation fusion techniques that reveal thesemantics and relationshipsamong events, they enable us to build a coherent analysis of evidence to recognize attacks.

Type of contributions and length


- Research papers: Computational and quantitative contributions that study particular aspects of Cyber Security.

- Conceptual papers: Contributions that synthesize existing studies.

Both types of contributions are expected to be from 20 to 25 pages in length (excluding references)when applying the Springer formatting instructions. Contributions should be original and

not be submitted elsewhere.



Review process
There will be a two-stage review process. In the first stage potential authors will be invitedto submit an abstract of 500 words. The editors will review the abstract to evaluate if theproposed book chapter (1) fits to the theme of the book, (2) makes a substantial practicalor scientific contribution and (3) is of interest to the target audience.

In the second stage the selected authors will be invited to submit a full version of theproposed book chapter. (It is expected that the book will have 12 to 15 chapters.) This fullversion will be reviewed by a reviewer, who is selected based on the topic of the bookchapter, as well as the book editors. The review process by the reviewers (other than theeditors) is double blind. Based on the outcome of the review process, the authors mayberequested to revise their book chapters and to submit the final version. If the editors aresatisfied with the revision of the book chapter, the authors will be invited to submit acamera-ready version of the paper.

Deadlines
December 10th, 2015: Submission of abstracts (500 words)

December30th, 2015: Invitation to submit full chapter

February 5, 2016: Submission of full chapter

April 1st, 2016: Review notification

April 20st, 2016: Submission of revised chapter

May 11, 2016: Final notification of acceptance/rejection

June 3, 2016: Submission of final version



Submission and formatting

Abstracts should be submitted as plain Word (2010 or higher) or PDF files by e-mail to

Ahmed21@umbc.edu, or alsmadi@gmail.com, ialsmadi@newhaven.edu.The abstract should contain:
