OVERVIEW
It is our pleasure to announce that the seventh ACM Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation in Defense, Security, and Risk Management (SecDef’2020) will be held in conjunction with the ACM Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) in July 8-12, 2020.
With the constant appearance of new threats, research in the areas of defense, security and risk management has acquired an increasing importance. These new challenges often require innovative solutions and computational intelligence techniques can play a significant role in finding them.
We invite completed or ongoing work, with the aim to encourage communication between active researchers and practitioners to better understand the current scope of efforts within genetic and evolutionary computation on defense, security and risk. The ultimate goal is to understand, discuss, and help set future directions for our community. Authors are invited to submit papers that fall into or are related to one or multiple topic areas listed below:
Security:
• Intrusion Detection
• Anomaly Detection
• Signature-Based Detection
• Behavior Monitoring
• Network Traffic Analysis
• System Data Analysis
• Application Data Analysis
• Attack Prevention and Defense Systems
• Threat Forecasting Systems
• Anti Spam and/or Antivirus Systems
• Bring Your Own Device
• Critical Infrastructure Protection
• Advanced Persistent Threats
• Adversarial threats and hardening
• Cyber Hunting
• User Identification and authentication
• Privacy and anonymity
• Malware detection, family labeling, identification
• Insider threats
• Social Engineering
Defense:
• Design of Military Systems and Sub-Systems
• Logistics and Scheduling of Military Operations
• Strategic Planning and Tactical Decision Making
• Logistics and Scheduling of Military Operations
• Examining Tradeoffs in Military and Counter-Terrorism Procedures
• Automated Discovery of Tactics and Procedures for Military and Defense Systems
• Cyber Warfare
• Cyber Fraud
Risk:
• Identification, Prevention, Monitoring, and Handling of Risks
• Risk Impact and Probability Estimation Systems
• Contingency Plans
• Real Time Risk Management
• Policy Management
• Metrics
