    CALL FOR PAPERS

    WORM 2005 - The 3rd Workshop on Rapid Malcode (WORM)
    Fairfax, VA, USA, November 11th, 2005 in conjunction with ACM CCS
    Submissions due June 23rd, 2005

    http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~angelos/worm05/

    In the last several years, Internet-wide infectious epidemics have
    emerged as one of the leading threats to information security and
    service availability. The vehicles for these outbreaks, malicious codes
    called "worms", take advantage of the combination of software
    monocultures and the uncontrolled Internet communication model to
    quickly compromise large numbers of hosts. Such worms are increasingly
    being used as delivery mechanisms for various types of malicious
    payloads, including remote-controlled "zombies", spyware and
    botnets. Recent incidents have also reveals the use of new propagation
    techniques as well as the use of worms to target small user communities
    or specific applications. Current operational practices have not been
    able to manage these threats effectively.

    This workshop continues the efforts of the previous years to provide a
    forum to bring together ideas, understanding and experiences bearing on
    the worm problem from a wide range of communities, including academia,
    industry and the government. We are soliciting papers from researchers
    and practitioners on subjects including, but not limited to:

            Automatic detection and characterization
            Reactive countermeasures
            Proactive defenses
            Threat assessment
            Email and web-based malcode
            Measurement studies
            Testbeds & evaluation
            Reverse engineering
            Significant operational experiences
            Surveys of the field
            Analysis of worm construction, current & future
            Modeling and analysis of propagation dynamics
            Forensic methods of attribution
            The combination of different types of malware

    Important Dates:
            Paper submissions due: June 23rd, 2005
            Acceptance notifications: August 14th, 2005
            Camera ready date: August 28th, 2005
            ACM CCS Conference: November 7-11, 2005
