| Description |
CTC-2009 is a workshop held in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~atc09/. The conference is held on 7-10 July 2009 in Brisbane, Australia.
Objectives
Cybercrime continues to be a growth industry, assisted by a combination of technical factors, such as insecure hardware and software platforms, and psychological factors, such as user error or naivety. The objective of this workshop is to bring together two distinct groups to encourage further collaboration - those who are working on researching cybercrime activity, such as phishing and malware, and those who are working on technical countermeasures.
The scope of the workshop is reasonably narrow, to ensure a complementary match between capability and need. Papers should either be empirically or rationally based explorations of problems in cybercrime, or propose solutions and/or countermeasures to the most pressing cybercrimes.
Example topic areas on the cybercrime theme might include:
Phishing, SPAM
Malware, Botnets
Scams, including advance fee fraud, romance scams etc
Forensic means to classify e-mail messages or web pages soliciting cybercrime or providing a vector for attack
Forensic means to cluster and identify different groups or modus operandi arising from distinct "kits"
For the countermeasures side, topic areas might include:
Anti-phishing
Anti-virus
Anti-rootkit
Anti-botnet
User education and/or psychological operations
A major theme of the event will be to plan future research interactions and relationships between industry and academia.
Submission
All submissions are to be made using the Easychair system. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE (EI indexed). Selected papers, after extension and further revisions, will be published in a special issue of a prestigious journal.
Papers should be written using the IEEE CS style, 6 pages.
