The Journal of Computer Security
CALL FOR PAPERS
Research in Intrusion Detection
There has been a recent resurgence in efforts within the intrusion-detection
research community to investigate and extend intrusion-detection technology
to larger distributed computing environments, including work to address such
issues as scalability, interoperability, distributed correlation, dynamic
deployment, and autonomous operation. Among such efforts has been work
involving the cross-pollination of intrusion-detection research with other
communities, such as the information retrieval and network management
communities. In addition, interest has arisen in applying intrusion-detection
technology to new problem domains, such as fraud detection in financial
transactions and operations monitoring of telecommunications infrastructures.
This special issue seeks papers that describe research beyond the scope or
orthogonal to what the commercial intrusion-detection community is producing.
The intent is to capture results from key efforts in the field, and to
understand the directions and motivations that are driving current and future
research in this area. Papers are solicited on all aspects of intrusion
detection, including the extension of intrusion-detection techniques to new
problem domains, as well as the application of other techniques to intrusion
detection. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to
o Active response capabilities and cooperative decision support
o Cooperation policies and distributed correlation across administrative
domains
o Cross pollination of intrusion-detection techniques and applications
with other disciplines
o Formalization of activity modeling
o Integration into large scale environments, including efficient methods
for high-volume event analysis
o Integration of intrusion-detection capabilities into existing network
services, infrastructure, and management frameworks
o Interoperability and reusability among intrusion-detection modules
o Service-oriented intrusion-detection architectures (including work
toward supportive services such as intrusion-detection management,
dynamic registration, event collection, results interpretation)
The selections for this special issue will consist of high-quality original
unpublished research, case studies and implementation experiences.
Instructions for submitting manuscripts
Authors are invited to submit five copies of their contributions to any of
the special issue editors. Submissions should be received by July 15, but
earlier submissions are encouraged. Manuscripts must be in English
(dbl-spaced; 12 pt.). Each copy should have a cover page with title, name
and address (including e-mail address) of author(s), an abstract of no more
than 200 words, and a list of identifying keywords.
Important Dates: July 15, 1998, Due date for five copies of full manuscript

The Journal of Computer Security is an archival journal published quarterly.
Its purpose is to present research and development results of lasting
significance in the theory, design, implementation, analysis and application
of secure computer systems. The Journal of Computer Security represents today
a main forum for ideas about the meaning and implications of security and
privacy, particularly those with important consequences for the technical
community.
