FYI: Final Call for Papers - SecMAS workshop on Security and Multi-agent Systems

Deadline: Febr 15, 2016

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SecMAS 2016: Security and Multi-agent Systems Workshop
http://www-scf.usc.edu/~dkar/SecMAS2016/
Co-located
with AAMAS 2016 (http://sis.smu.edu.sg/aamas2016)
May 9-13, 2016, Singapore
(Workshop will be held either May 9 or May 10)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The importance of research and applications related to security and multi-agent systems continues to increase in a broad variety of disciplines, including computer science, electrical engineering, economics, biology, political science, business, law, public policy, and many others. The focus of this workshop is to bring together the broad community working on Security and Multi-Agent Systems motivated by any of these domains.

Many large-scale real-world security problems have been successfully modeled as multi-agent security games, and highly scalable algorithmic solutions with software assistants implementing these have been developed and deployed. Perhaps the greatest advances have been in the domain of physical security, with examples including patrolling of seaports and airports, scheduling air marshals, ticket audit in transit systems. Remarkably, there have been a number of more recent developments that significantly broaden the applicability of security game approaches. For example, similar techniques have been used in important sustainability applications, such as fishery protection and prevention of illegal poaching. Moreover, game theoretic models have increasing applicability in cyber, as well as cyber-physical system (CPS) security, such as adversarial machine learning methods (for use, for example, in intrusion detection systems), resilient sensor placement and monitoring strategies, and privacy preserving data publishing and auditing systems.

While there has been significant progress, there still exist many major challenges facing the design of effective approaches to deal with the difficulties in real-world domains. These include building predictive behavioral models for the players, dealing with uncertainties in games, scaling up for large games, and applications of machine learning and multi-agent learning to security, particularly in the context of repeated or stochastic games. This workshop is structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas to address the above challenges.

We invite full length research submissions from a broad range of researchers and practitioners, including (1) computer scientists applying their AI/MAS research to real-world security problems, (2) interdisciplinary researchers combining AI/MAS with various disciplines (e.g., game theory, operations research, social science, and psychology), and (3) engineers and scientists from private companies and public organizations performing security related research and development, as well as building real adversarial reasoning systems. We encourage all researchers working towards applying security and multi-agent systems concepts for real-world problems to submit to the workshop.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Real-world applications of game theory for security
Cybersecurity
Security applications of machine learning
Foundations of game theory for security
Adversarial/robust learning
Online learning
Learning in games
Algorithms for scaling to very large games
Economics of security
Behavioral game theory
Decision making under uncertainty
Agent/human interaction for preference elicitation and optimization
Protection against environmental crime
Risk analysis and modeling
Security applications of AI methods
Evaluation/lessons learned of deployed systems

The Links project (at Inria Lille and the CRIStAL lab) is working on
foundations and applications for querying Web databases based
on logics and automata. Links' general objective is to develop
novel techniques for querying heterogeneous collections of linked
Web databases as if they were integrated into a single homogeneous
database. Beside other challenges, this requires to develop novel
algorithms that enable the management of dynamic networks of
linked and distributed data in a real time.

Links is regularly opening research positions on different
levels, offered by Inria, CNRS, the University of Lile 1,
and the University of Lille 3.

- Permanent researcher positions at Inria or CNRS for excellent
junior or senior researchers wanting to join in the Links' project.
This year, Inria Lille has 3 openings for junior researchers and
1 opening for senior researchers in the national competition. The
application deadlines are mid of February.

- Professor position at the University of Lille 1. One position
that targets towards Links' research topics is currently open. The
submission deadline is begin of March (beware, deadline is earlier
than the synchronised session of French universities).

- Assistant professor (MdC) position at the University of Lille3. The
profile of that position includes the Links' research topics. The
application deadline is end of March.

- PhD student positions, possibly preceded by a masters project. Currently,
we have 3 openings, that will remain open until we find the right
candidate:

Linked data integration (open, contact: Iovka Boneva <iovka.boneva@univ-lille1.fr>)

Streaming for NoSQL Databases (open, contact: Joachim Niehren <joachim.niehren@inria.fr>)

Database queries for the social Web (open, contact: Pierre Bourhis <pierre.bourhis@inria.fr>)

- Postdoc at Inria. We regularly search promising students for the
competitive offers at Inria Lille.

Tree transducers for verifying the correctness of Linux
installation scripts.

Paper categories

There are two categories of submission – full papers and exploratory
papers. Full papers should report more complete and denser research,
while the later submission deadline for exploratory papers allows quick
reporting of recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial
results. Submissions in the full paper category are refereed and
selected by the program committee. Papers in the exploratory category
go through a less rigorous evaluation process.


Submission

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of no more than 14
pages (for full papers) or 8 pages (for exploratory papers) via the
EasyChair system at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=automata2016


Submissions should contain original research that has not previously
been published. Concurrent submissions to other conferences/journals is
not permitted. Supplementary material that exceeds the above mentioned
page limits may be included as an appendix and will be considered at
the committee's discretion (note that appendices will not be published
in the proceedings). Submission must be formatted in LaTeX using the
LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors)
and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers authored or co
-authored by PC members are also welcome and will follow a specific
evaluation process.


Proceedings

Accepted full papers will appear in the proceedings published by
Springer in the LNCS series and will be available at the conference.
Exploratory papers will not be included in the LNCS proceedings;
however, they will be printed locally and given to conference
participants.
