[DMANET] CFP: Graphical Models for Security (GraMSec'16)

*****************************************************************
GraMSec'16
The Third International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
Co-located with CSF 2016

Lisbon, Portugal - June 27, 2016
http://gramsec.uni.lu/
*****************************************************************

Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic approach to
analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate potential protection
measures. Formal methods and cyber security researchers, as well as
security
professionals from industry and government, have proposed various graphical
security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture different
security
facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a range of challenges
including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, defense analysis,
automated defensing, secure services composition, policy validation and
verification. The objective of the GraMSec workshop is to contribute to the
development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms
for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but are
not limited to:
- Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis
- Graphical models for risk analysis and management
- Graphical models for requirements analysis and management
- Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and
business security
- Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and
cyber-physical systems
- Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness
- Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm
- Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical
security models
- Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models
- Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models
- Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models
- Scalable evaluation of graphical security models
- Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models
- Dynamic update of graphical security models
- Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling
- Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants
- Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security
- UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security
- Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis
- Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security
modeling paradigm.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: April 18, 2016
Acceptance notification: May 20, 2016
Camera ready version: June 3, 2016
GraMSec'16 workshop: June 27, 2016

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We solicit two types of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished work
within the scope of the workshop.
- Short papers (up to 7 pages) describing original and unpublished work in
progress.

All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style.

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted (regular
and
short) papers will be included in the workshop's post-proceedings. As last
year, we plan to publish the GraMSec'16 post-proceedings in the Lecture
Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer (confirmation pending).
Submissions should be made using the GraMSec'16 EasyChair web site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec16.

INVITED SPEAKER
The invited lecture of GraMSec'16 will be given by Xinming Ou, associate
professor at Computer Science and Engineering, University of South
Florida, USA
