Registration
Cyberspace is fundamental to our national prosperity, as it is critical to commerce, research,
education, and government. Realizing the benefits of this shared environment requires that we
are able to properly balance the risks and rewards, understand and communicate threats to
security and privacy, and rapidly adapt any resulting approach to a changing adversarial
environment.
The 13th annual Cyber and Information Security Conference (CISRC) at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, will bring together cyber security researchers from
academia, industry, and the national laboratories with program managers, security vendors, and
practitioners to discuss the many challenges and to propose novel solutions pertaining to cyber
security.
Research Themes
Research papers describing novel contributions in any area of cyber and information security
are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, practical experience, theory,
analysis, or experiments and evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on
technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices, including, but not
limited to, the following areas:
