?????????????????? CALL FOR PAPERS - GraMSec'14
? The First International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
???????????????????April 12, 2014, Grenoble, France
????????????????????? http://www.gramsec.uni.lu/
??????????????????
?? (Co-located with ETAPS 2014)

SCOPE
Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic
methodology to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate
potential protection measures. Such models have been subject of
academic research and they have also been widely accepted by the
industrial sector, as a means to support and facilitate threat
analysis and risk management processes. The objective of GraMSec is to
contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security
models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as
methodologies for their practical usage.

TOPICS
The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but
are not limited to:
- attack trees, attack graphs, Petri nets for security, Bayesian
? networks for security, UML-based models for security,
- security in system models, organizational models, business models,
? and methods for (semi-)automatic derivation of attack models from
? these,
- methods for quantitative analysis of graphical security models,
- analysis of digital, physical and social (socio-technical) security
? aspects using graphical models,
- risk assessment and risk management using graphical security models,
- software tools supporting security analysis using graphical models,
- case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical
? methodologies for analysis and evaluation of security of systems.

PAPER SUBMISSION
We solicit two types of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished
? work within the scope of the workshop.
- Short papers (up to 5 pages) describing work in progress or less
? mature results.
Case studies and tool papers are welcome as well. All submissions must
be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package available at
http://style.eptcs.org/. Each paper will undergo a thorough review
process. Submissions should be made using the GraMSec'14 easychair web
site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec14

The final versions of accepted regular and short papers will be
published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (EPTCS). Furthermore, authors of a selection of the
accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
articles to a special issue of a high-quality journal, after the
workshop.

Participants are also encouraged to submit position statements on
linking industrial needs to academic research questions. The
statements should not exceed one page and they will not undergo the
review process. Based on the statements, a special session will be
organized.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: December 13, 2013 (extended)
Acceptance notification: January 24, 2014
Camera ready version: February 6, 2014
Workshop: April 12, 2014

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1254"

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the IFORS 2014 Conference to be held on 13-18 July 2014 in the city of Barcelona, in the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Aims and scope
Port management is a complex activity and in order to achieve the port?s macro goals of maximizing throughput and revenue, a vast number of interconnected operations need to be addressed in the port. Accordingly, the need for effective decision making strategies for managing these port operations have become apparent and therefore have attracted many researchers into the subject. Aim of this event is to bring together a diverse and high quality number of participants to share their new ideas, knowledge and experiences in the logistics and maritime industry.
Topics of interest include:
Port management and policies
Stowage planning
Quayside operations
Yard operations
Transport optimization
To submit an abstract please go to: http://www.ifors2014.org/
Follow the abstract submission link and use the submission code ?a0cf7d2c? under the section ?Abstract in an invited session? to continue.
Important dates:
Abstract submission closes: 31 January 2014
Early Registration: 1 November 2013- 28 February 2014
Regular Registration: 1 March - 30 April 2014
Late and on-site registration: 1 May - 13 July 2014
