[hpc-announce] [RSDA 2022] On-line workshop co-located with ISSRE 2022 - Deadline: August 1, 2022

[Raffaele Della Corte]

The 7th International Workshop on
Resiliency, Security, Defenses and Attacks (RSDA 2022)

co-located with The 33rd Annual IEEE International
Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2022)
to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA,
Oct 31 - Nov 3, 2022


RSDA is a well-established venue that aims to gather high-quality papers on
resiliency and security of computer systems through data analysis.
The workshop follows its six past successful editions held at ISSRE 2021,
ISSRE 2020, ISSRE 2019, DSN 2016, ISSRE 2014, and DSN 2013.

The 7th RSDA Edition is co-located with the prestigious 33rd Annual IEEE
International Symposium on
Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2022), Oct 31 - Nov 3, 2022,
which will follow a hybrid conference model
with the in-person event taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.


RSDA 2022 will follow the hybrid conference model and
it will allow online participation and remote presentation of accepted
papers.


RSDA is a friendly and lively forum to stimulate scientific research and
discuss techniques, procedures and
tools that are currently adopted to manage and analyze resiliency of
systems under attack and defenses.
Both research papers and industry experience reports are welcome in any
application area, domain and topic of RSDA listed below.
We warmly invite you to visit the workshop webpage to learn more.

Please consider submitting your papers and forwarding this email to your
colleagues!

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

The inherent potential of reliability and security data is well recognized
by academia and industry for assessing
resiliency of computer systems and operational networks, and improving the
engineering process.
Analysis of textual/numeric data and log files produced under real workload
conditions by applications, systems,
and networks, intrusion detection systems, monitors and issue-trackers
plays a key role for dependability assessment.
Nevertheless, in spite of decades of research and methodological advances,
data analysis in this specific area keeps
posing challenging research questions due to the heterogeneity, volume and
velocity of the collected data, the lack of systematic
end-to-end analysis procedures, the increasing diversity of analysis
objectives and emerging application domains in critical areas.

GOALS

RSDA 2022 aims to concentrate ideas and contributions from academic and
industrial organizations addressing resiliency
and security of computer systems through data analysis. RSDA aims to gather
high-quality papers on data-driven methodologies,
measurements from production systems, and analysis of large datasets.

The past RSDA editions have established a friendly and lively forum to
stimulate scientific research and discuss techniques,
procedures and tools that are currently adopted to manage and analyze
resiliency of systems under attack and defenses.

The expected output of the workshop is establishing the agenda of future
research activities in the field of reliability and
security data analysis, with the ambition of creating concrete synergies
between researchers and industrial bodies of
different research communities addressed by RSDA.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

The workshop addresses the following topics:

- Event logs and security-related data collection, processing and
management;
- Monitoring and analysis of resource utilization metrics;
- Dependability and security monitoring, measurement and modeling;
- Anomaly detection;
- Analysis of attacks, defenses, and countermeasures;
- Adversarial machine learning:
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM);
- Data visualization;
- Intrusion detection and prevention;
- Denial-of-Service and botnet analysis, detection, and mitigation;
- Application security status monitoring;
- Behavior-based fraud and threat detection;
- Insider threat and functional misuse detection;
- Error/Failure detection and characterization;
- Failure prediction and recovery techniques;
- Failure data analysis and field studies;
- Fault and intrusion tolerance;
- Defect analysis and Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGM);
- Dependability and security forensics;
- Generation of synthetic data sets for benchmarking dependability/security
techniques;
- Dependability and security analysis of large datasets and production
systems;
- Machine Learning for security.

 Relevant application areas include, but are not limited to:

- Application dependability and security;
- Distributed, parallel, clustered and grid systems;
- Critical infrastructures protection;
- Cloud;
- Mobile systems and services;
- Middleware, database and transactional systems;
- Operating systems;
- Web-based information systems;
- Fog and Edge computing;
- Internet of Things.
