About

The 21st International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions, and Defenses (RAID 2018), previously known as Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection, aims at bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss novel research contributions related to computer and information security. RAID 2018 will be held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece on 10-12 September 2018

Since its inception in 1997, RAID has established itself as a venue where leading researchers and practitioners are given the opportunity to present novel research in a unique venue to an engaged and lively community. Attendees are from prestigious universities, government, and high technology companies all over the world.

Attendees typically include:

  • Researchers working in the field of computer and information security
  • Academics studying the field of cyber security
  • Incident response and security teams with responsibility for coordinating computer security
  • Technical staff who determine security product needs and implement solutions
  • Anyone wanting to learn more about computer security in general


IOSec 2018 (CIPSEC Workshop) and 1st SMESEC Workshop are co-located with RAID2018

Proceedings

RAID 2018 proceedings are published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS, volume 11050). You can access the online version by clicking the proceedings cover image.

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: March 28 extended to April 3, 2018, 7:59:59am EDT
Notification to Authors: May 29, 2021
Camera Ready Deadline: June 29, 2021
Conference: September 10-12, 2018

Call for papers

RAID 2018 is soliciting research papers on topics covering all well-motivated security problems. We care about techniques that identify new real-world threats, techniques to prevent them, to detect them, to mitigate them, or to assess their prevalence and their consequences. Measurement papers are encouraged, as well as papers offering public access to new tools or datasets, or experience papers that clearly articulate important lessons. Specific topics of interest to RAID include:

  • Computer, network, and cloud computing security
  • Malware and unwanted software
  • Program analysis and reverse engineering
  • Mobile Security
  • Web security and privacy
  • Vulnerability analysis techniques
  • Usable security and privacy
  • Intrusion detection and prevention
  • Hardware security
  • Cyber physical systems security and threats against critical infrastructures
  • IoT security
  • Statistical and adversarial learning for computer security
  • Cyber crime and underground economies
  • Denial-of-Service attacks
  • Security measurement studies
  • Digital forensics

The RAID conference is known for the quality and thoroughness of the reviews of the papers submitted, the desire to build a bridge between research carried out in different communities, and the emphasis given on the need for sound experimental methods and measurement to improve the state of the art in cybersecurity.

Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, correctness, and clarity. We expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable reproducibility of their experimental results.

Submission Guidelines

Each paper must include an abstract and a list of keywords, and must not exceed 20 pages in total length, formatted in LNCS-style and including the bibliography and any appendices. Papers can be submitted on the following web site: https://raid18.syssec.rub.de/

Reviewing will be double-blind, meaning the authors’ identities will be hidden from the reviewers. All papers must be appropriately anonymized: author names or affiliations must not appear in the submission, you must refer to your own prior work in the third person, you should not give the paper a title that corresponds to a publicly available technical report, and should anonymize the bibliographic section in an appropriate manner, etc. Papers that are not anonymized will not be reviewed.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that has already been published elsewhere or submitted in parallel to a journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, and plagiarism constitute dishonesty or fraud. RAID, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may, on the recommendation of the program chair, take action against authors who have committed them. RAID abides with policies for plagiarism, submission confidentiality, reviewer anonymity, and prior and concurrent paper submission that mirror those of the ACM (see http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/ ).

Papers accepted by the Program Committee will be presented at RAID 2018 and included in the Symposium’s proceedings published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Authors who are unsure whether their submissions might meet these guidelines, or who have specific questions about the guidelines, are welcome to contact the program committee co-chairs.

Authors, please remember that each paper must have a Regular registration associated with it.

In the same archive with the camera-ready version of your paper, you need to include a signed Consent to Publish Form for transferring the copyrights of your paper to the publisher. The form can be downloaded from this link
