CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Workshop on Designing and Measuring CyberSecurity in Software Architecture (DeMeSSA 2019)
9-10 September 2019, Paris, France
https://demessa.wordpress.com/
https://www.facebook.com/Demessa2019-258916091582373/
Part of the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA), https://ecsa2019.univ-lille.fr/home
PROCEEDINGS: ACM International Conference Proceedings Series
IMPORTANT DATES:
- Submission deadline: May 31, 2019
- Notification to authors: June 26, 2019
- Camera-ready papers: July 5, 2019
- Workshop at ECSA 2019: September 9-10, 2019
SCOPE:
With the growing complexity of software and in particular of software-reliant systems and systems-of-systems, the focus of cybersecurity on network and code has been increasingly shifted to design and more recently to “cybersecurity by design” or “design for cybersecurity”, where the software architecture is the keystone for enforcing cybersecurity. Early evidence of cyber risks, attacks and vulnerabilities enables efficient and effective cybersecurity solutions. Security measurement of software architectures is needed to produce sufficient evidence of cybersecurity level in the design phase. Moreover, software architectures have to support runtime security measurement to obtain up-to-date cybersecurity information. This is essential for self-protecting systems and self-adaptive cybersecurity solutions.
This International Workshop on Designing and Measuring CyberSecurity in Software Architecture (DeMeSSA 2019) at ECSA 2019, will provide researchers and practitioners with a forum to exchange ideas and experiences, analyze research and development issues, discuss promising solutions, and propose inspiring visions for the future in complementary fields of Cybersecurity from the perspective of the Software Architecture: Designing CyberSecurity in Software Architecture and Measuring CyberSecurity in Software Architecture Design.
Submission Guidelines
DeMeSSa 2019 invites two kinds of submissions:
- Regular papers that describe novel contributions to the state-of-the-art, reporting on work or experiences in industry or industrial-relevant case or field studies (up to 7 pages)
- Work-in-progress papers that describe promising preliminary results, approaches, ideas, or challenging issues for application in the industry (up to 4 pages)
Papers must be written in English and comply with the ACM Master Article Template for Proceedings: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
All papers submitted to the workshop must be unpublished original work and must not be simultaneously under review or submitted elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee for originality, quality, and relevance.
Submissions must be uploaded in PDF through the submission website hosted by EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=demessa2019
All accepted papers will be published in the ECSA 2019 Companion Proceedings by ACM's International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS).
At least one author is required to register for the workshop and to present the paper.
