4. SCOPE
Information assurance and security has become an important research issue in the
networked and distributed information sharing environments. Finding
effective ways to
protect information systems, networks and sensitive data within the
critical information
infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained
professionals.
The International Conference on Information Assurance and Security
(IAS) aims to bring
together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policy makers
involved in multiple
disciplines of information security and assurance to exchange ideas
and to learn the latest
development in this important field.
IAS'10 builds on the success of last year's. IAS'09 was held during
August 18-20, 2009 in
Xi'ian China and attracted participants from several countries.

5. CALL FOR REGULAR SESSION PAPERS:
