Machine Learning for Computer Security

I am happy to serve on the program committee of the conference "Sicherheit, Schutz und Zuverlässigkeit" (SICHERHEIT) which will take place in October 2010 in Berlin. SICHERHEIT is the German forum for experts from academia and industry to discuss aspects of safety (protection from catastrophic events of technical systems) and security (protection of confidentiality and integrity of information in technical systems).

The organizers seek submissions from the broad range of safety and security, for example on the following topics:

• biometrics, privacy, data protection
  
• e-commerce, e-government
  
• certification of safe and secure systems
  
• cryptography, digital signatures, steganography
  
• development and maintenance of safe and secure systems
  
• formal methods for safe and secure systems
  
• management of safe and secure systems
  
• management of information security
  
• network security
  
• reactive security
  
• reliability and availability
  

The conference language is English and SICHERHEIT welcomes participants and submissions from non-German-speaking countries. More information can be found at www.sicherheit2010.de. Deadline for paper submissions is March, 29th. So hurry up!
