The previous International Conferences "Mathematical Methods, Models and Architectures for Computer Network Security" (MMM-ACNS-2001 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns01/), MMM-ACNS-2003 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns03/), MMM-ACNS-2005 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns05/) and MMM-ACNS-2007 (http://www.comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns07/)) organized in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 respectively by St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation, Binghamton University (SUNY) and supported by the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development USAF, Office of Naval Research Global, and Russian Foundation for Basic Research were very successful.
These conferences demonstrated the high interest of the international scientific community to the theoretical and practical aspects of the computer network and information security.
The goals of MMM-ACNS-2010 Conference to bring together leading researchers from academia and governmental organizations as well as practitioners to advance the states of the art and practice in the area of computer networks and information security with a focus on novel theoretical aspects of computer network security, facilitate personal interactions and discussions on various aspects of information technologies in conjunction with computer network and information security problems arising in large-scale computer networks.
These conferences demonstrated the high interest of the international scientific community to the theoretical aspects of the computer network and information security and the need for conducting of such conferences as on-going series.
The proposed MMM-ACNS-2010 Conference is intended as a next step in this series and will be focused on theoretical problems in the area under consideration.
Its objectives are to bring together leading researchers from academia and governmental organizations as well as practitioners in the area of computer networks and information security, facilitating personal interactions and discussions on various aspects of information technologies in conjunction with computer network and information security problems arising in large-scale computer networks engaged in information storing, transmitting, and processing.
