Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Machine Learning in general and its applications in cyber security have attracted attention from the research community in the last few decades. While classic cyber security techniques can be used to acquire a stream of events, its analysis is usually performed using a machine learning technique. In the past, the analysis was divided into two separate phases. In the first phase, some portion of the stream was used to train a model, which was used for the analysis of the rest of the stream in the second phase. Recently, we have witnessed increased interest in developing online anomaly detection techniques, in which the model is constantly updated with new events.

In this Special Issue, we aim to gather as many perspectives as possible on the problem of online anomaly detection in different contexts. We welcome articles that contribute grand visions, research outcomes, theory development, implementation experiences, and prototype experiments and results. In addition to traditional machine learning applications in cybersecurity, the Special Issue also encourages contributions that explore the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. NLP techniques can play a crucial role in enhancing the analysis of cyber threats by extracting meaningful insights from textual data, such as security logs, incident reports, and communication records.

Key areas of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Machine learning;
  • Online learning;
  • Information security;
  • Text analysis for security;
  • Network security;
  • Trust management;
  • Security and privacy.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
