　　Call for Papers 

　　Conference Overview 

　   The 4th International Conference on Science of Cyber Security (SciSec 2022) will be held August 10-12, 2022 in Matsue City, Shimane, Japan. The conference is organized by University of Aizu.  

　  SciSec was initiated in 2018 and aims to catalyze the research collaborations between the relevant communities and disciplines that can work together to deepen our understanding of, and build a firm foundation for, the emerging Science of Cyber Security. Publications in this venue would distinguish themselves from others by taking or thinking from a holistic perspective about cybersecurity, rather than a building-block perspective.   

　　The program committee plans to select and award a Best Paper and a Best Student Paper. The post-conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, indexed by EI. Accepted posters will be invited to submit full version papers to International Journal of Digital Crime and Forensics (IJDCF, indexed by ESCI and EI) via the IGI Global system, which requires new template of materials. Submissions accepted by SciSec 2022, their extended version will also be accepted by IJDCF after a standard review process of IJDCF. And SciSec is on the list of international conferences recommended by Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IIE_C). 

　　The conference solicits high-quality, original research papers that can justifiably help achieve the ultimate Science of Cyber Security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

• 　　Cybersecurity Dynamics 
• 　　Cybersecurity Metrics and Their Measurements 
• 　　First-principle Cybersecurity Modeling and Analysis 
• 　　Cybersecurity Data Analytics 
• 　　Quantitative Risk Management for Cybersecurity 
• 　　Big Data for Cybersecurity 
• 　　Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity 
• 　　Machine Learning for Cybersecurity 
• 　　Economics Approaches for Cybersecurity
