Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Workshop (AI-CyberSec 2021 https://sites.google.com/view/ai-cybersec-2021/home) will be co-located with the 41st SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence on December 14, 2021, in Cambridge, England. The workshop focuses on research that combines both AI and Cybersecurity and provides a unique forum for the exchange and discussion of new scientific contributions and open challenges in this research area. This Special Issue on "Selected papers from AI-CyberSec 2021 Workshop" expects to publish the invited extended versions of the contributions presented at AI-CyberSec 2021. The organising committee would like to invite submissions of novel theoretical and applied research in this area. The topics include (but are not limited to):
AI for cybersecurity:
- AI and ML for intrusion detection/prevention and cyber attack mitigation
- AI for cyber investigation and threat intelligence
- AI and ML for biometric and continuous authentication
- Integration of AI and Blockchain for security critical infrastructures
- Applications of AI and ML for security orchestration, automation, and response
- AI-based cybersecurity techniques for smart interconnected devices, IoT, smart cities
- Advanced AI techniques to secure future Internet architectures/protocols
- Explainability and interpretability of AI cybersecurity systems
- Ethical aspects of AI cybersecurity systems
Malicious use of AI:
- AI attacks with novel insights, techniques, or results
- AI in attacks targeting cyber-physical systems, IoT, smart cities
- Automation of tasks in cyber-offense
- Automation of social engineering attacks
- Automation of vulnerability discovery
- Exploiting AI/ML used in cybersecurity systems
Cybersecurity for AI:
- Cybersecurity of connected and autonomous devices
- AI and risk management in AI supply chains and similar applications
- Robustness of AI models
- Privacy management, privacy-preserving ML and data leak prevention
- Adversarial attacks on AI and defensive strategies
Note: As the workshop is virtual this year, there will be no fee for the workshop presenters or attendees. For the publication of the extended version in the Special Issue (open access, by invitation only), however, an APC can be charged by the journal. Selected authors can enjoy a discounted APC, which will be communicated with the invitation. APC for accepted papers shall be funded by the NTNU's IDUN project.
