----------------------------------------------------------------------

The annual DIMVA conference serves as a premier forum for advancing
the state of the art in intrusion detection, malware detection, and
vulnerability assessment. Each year DIMVA brings together
international experts from academia, industry and government to
present and discuss novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized
by the special interest group Security - Intrusion Detection and
Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The
conference proceedings are planned to appear in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work.
This year we invite two types of paper submissions:

* Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full
  papers are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the
  instructions provided below. They will be reviewed by the program
  committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the conference
  will be included in the proceedings.

* Short papers (extended abstracts), presenting original, still
  ongoing work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a
  full paper. Short papers are limited to 10 pages, prepared according
  to the instructions provided below. They will also be reviewed by
  the program committee, and papers accepted for presentation at the
  conference will be included in the proceedings (containing Extended
  Abstract in the title).

DIMVA's scope includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:

* Intrusion Detection
  + Approaches
  + Insider detection
  + Applications to business level fraud
  + Implementations
  + Prevention and response
  + Result correlation and cooperation
  + Evaluation
  + Potentials and limitations
  + Operational experiences
  + Legal and social aspects

* Malware Detection
  + Techniques
  + Acquisition of specimen
  + Detection and analysis
  + Automated behavior model generation
  + Early warning
  + Prevention and containment
  + Trends and upcoming risks
  + Forensics and recovery
  + Economic aspects

* Vulnerability Assessment

  + Vulnerabilities
  + Vulnerability detection and analysis
  + Vulnerability prevention
  + Classification and evaluation
  + Situational awareness

DIMVA 2009 particularly encourages papers that discuss applications of
intrusion detection methods for fraud detection in business level
processes and composite Web Services.

Paper Submission

 All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the

 instructions provided by Springer Verlag.

 Submitted papers must be in English and must not substantially
 overlap work that has been published before, or that is
 simultaneously in submission to a journal or a conference with
 proceedings. Simultaneous submission, submission of previously
 published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. DIMVA
 prohibits these practices and may take appropriate action against
 authors who have committed them.

 For accepted papers, it is required that at least one of the authors
 attends the conference to present the paper. Presentations must also
 be held in English.

 Details about the electronic submission procedure will be provided on
 the conference Web site by mid of January 2009. Authors of accepted
 papers must follow the Springer guidelines for the preparation of
 camera-ready copies. Details of the process will be provided to the
 authors in time.

Rump session

 As in previous years, DIMVA 2009 will hold a Rump Session: a series
 of short and entertaining talks where attendees can present recent
 research results, work in progress, or other topics of interest to
 the community. Please contact the Rump Session Chair for submission
 questions.

Sponsorship Opportunities

 We solicit interested organizations to serve as sponsors for DIMVA
 2009; please contact the sponsorship chair for information regarding
 corporate sponsorship.
