Information
warfare and computer security are at the forefront of modern defence Cyber
Strategies. Strong strands of
research and interest are developing in the area, including the understanding
of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong
security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident
investigation in addition to the offensive areas associated with information
operations such as perception management and strategic communications. The International Conference on
Information Warfare and Security (ICIW) offers an opportunity for academics,
practitioners and consultants from the US, North America and elsewhere who
are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of
systems and concepts related to information warfare or are interested in ways
to improve information systems security, to come together and exchange ideas.
This conference is continuing to establish itself as a key event for
individuals working in the field from around the world.
The
advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers on both the
theory and practice of all aspects of Information Warfare and Security. The
conference in March 2009 is seeking qualitative, experience-based and
quantitative papers as well as case studies and reports of work in progress
from academics, information systems practitioners, consultants and government
departments.

Important information:
The

by the submission deadline to ensure that the proposed paper follows the
themes of the Conference. The authors of abstracts that describe a relevant
paper will receive a notification of abstract selection. All full papers will
be double-blind reviewed by a
member of the conference committee to ensure an adequate standard, that the
proposed subject of their abstract has been followed, that the paper is of a
suitable length, the standard of English is adequate and the paper is
appropriately referenced. Papers that are accepted will be published in the
conference proceedings providing at least one author registers and presents
the work at the Conference (see the registration section of the conference
website for more information about registration). Due to the large number of
papers expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to
present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for presentation
different co-authors need to present each paper.
