MMM-ACNS-2012 is the 6-th in the series of international conferences “Mathematical Methods, Models and Architectures for Computer Networks Security” organized by St. Petersburg Institute for Informatics and Automation and 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:
MMM-ACNS-2003 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns03/)
MMM-ACNS-2005 (http://space.iias.spb.su/mmm-acns05/)
MMM-ACNS-2007 (http://comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns07/)
MMM-ACNS-2010 (http://comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns10/)
These conferences demonstrated the high interest of the international scientific community to the theoretical and practical aspects of the computer network and information security and have resulted in a remarkable tradition of the Russian-American dialogue in this research area.
The MMM-ACNS-2012 Conference (http://comsec.spb.ru/mmm-acns12/) will continue this tradition by once again bring together leading researchers from academia and governmental organizations as well as practitioners. It will contribute towards the advancement of the state of the art and practice in the area of computer networks and information security with a focus on novel theoretical aspects; it will facilitate personal interactions and discussions of various aspects of information technologies in conjunction with computer network and information security problems arising in large-scale computer networks.
The Conference MMM-ACNS-2012 will offer its floor to the Second International Workshop “Scientific Analysis and Policy Support for Cyber Security” (SA&PS4CS-2012) (http://www.comsec.spb.ru/saps4cs12/) dedicated to the methods of scientific analysis and policy support for response to cyber intrusions and attacks. Objective of the MMM-ACNS-2012 Conference
The main objectives of the MMM-ACNS-2012 Conference are to discuss state-of-the-art in mathematical methods and models for computer networks and information security to promote a better understanding of recent achievements and trends in the computer network security, as well as making use of recent achievements in the area of advanced information technologies for computer network and information assurance.
Security assurance of resident information and integrity of computer networks’ software is one of the important problems of the modern computer science and information technology. The problem importance is confirmed by ever-increasing significance and value of information followed by multiplicity and diversity of threads and vulnerabilities of computer networks, and by potentially devastating consequences of successful attacks on integrity, resource availability and information confidentiality. Unauthorized access to computer network facilities and resources, especially in global networks participating in real-time control operations, may be truly disastrous. The growing size of the network, its interconnectivity, large number of users, increasing number of vulnerable targets (communication protocols, operating systems, servers, applications, etc.), and the appearance of effective and previously unknown types of attacks are among the factors contributing towards the complexity of relevant security problems.
An additional objective of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, security system developers and users from academia, industry and governmental organizations to exchange ideas on a broad range of topics from mutually recognized threats to commercial perspectives.
Since the scope of the conference reflects specific interests of individuals and organizations involved in basic and applied research, information about the conference will be distributed among the appropriate institutions in Russia and worldwide. Currently, preliminary agreement to participate in the conference has been received from leading Russian basic and applied research institutions operating in the areas of Computer Science, Telecommunication and Computer Security and from companies developing relevant industrial applications.
The Workshop is intended as a forum for discussing various aspects of organization of international efforts to reduce mutual threats in the cyberspace. These include but not limited to identifying emergent cyber technologies supporting social and political activity management. The Workshop will bring together professionals involved in multiple areas concerning scientific analysis and policy support for cyber security to exchange ideas and to learn the latest developments. Relevant experiences and existing practices will be discussed.
The Workshop will promote internationally shared understanding of the technically supportable indications and warnings for various types of intrusions and attacks, from the isolated to the highly coordinated, and from the forensic to strategic. Further exchanges between practitioners will be promoted.
The Workshop is scheduled on the last day of MMM-ACNS-2012.
