----------------------------------------------------------------------

The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing
the state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and
vulnerability assessment. Each year DIMVA brings together
international experts from academia, industry and government to
present and discuss novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized
by the special interest group Security - Intrusion Detection and
Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The
conference proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.

DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work.
This year we invite two types of paper submissions:

* Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full
papers are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the
instructions provided below. They will be reviewed by the program
committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference
will be included in the proceedings.

* Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still
ongoing work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a
full paper. Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according
to the instructions provided below. They will also be reviewed by
the program committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the
conference will be included in the proceedings (containing Extended
Abstract in the title).

DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:

* Intrusion Detection
+ Novel approaches & new environments
+ Insider detection
+ Prevention & response
+ Data leakage
+ Result correlation & cooperation
+ Evasion attacks
+ Potentials & limitations

Paper Submission

All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the
conference Web site. Submissions must be formatted according to the
instructions provided by Springer Verlag. For instructions, see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html .

Submitted papers must be in English and must not substantially
overlap work that has been published before, or that is
simultaneously in submission to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Simultaneous submission, submission of previously
published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. DIMVA
prohibits these practices and may take appropriate action against
authors who have committed them.

Authors of accepted papers must ensure that their papers will be pre-
ented at the conference. Presentations must also be held in English.
Details about the electronic submission procedure will be provided on
the conference Web site by the end of December 2009. Authors of ac-
cepted papers must follow the Springer guidelines for preparation of
camera-ready copies. Details of the process will be provided to the
authors in time.

Rump session

As in previous years, DIMVA 2010 will hold a Rump Session: a series
of short and entertaining talks where attendees can present recent
research results, work in progress, or other topics of interest to
the community. Please contact the Rump Session Chair for submission
questions.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We solicit interested organizations to serve as sponsors for DIMVA
2010; please contact the sponsorship chair for information regarding
corporate sponsorship.
