Call for Papers
International Conference on Cyber Security and Protection of Digital Services (Cyber Security 2021), an international refereed conference dedicated to the advancement of Cyber Security, information security, network security, application security and business transformation of digital services, and the protection of public digital services, especially high value bearing online services.
The aim of the Cyber Security 2021 is to encourage participation and promotion of collaborative scientific, industrial and academic inter-workings among individual researchers, practitioners, members of existing associations, academia, standardisation bodies, including government departments and agencies. The purpose is to build bridges between academia and industry, and to encourage interplay of different culture.
Cyber Security 2021 invites researchers and industry practitioners to submit papers that encompass principles, analysis, design, methods and applications. All submitted papers are independently peer-reviewed. The conference is open to the public, so you can attend the event without presenting a paper. Registration for both authors and attendees (without presenting a paper) opens in March 2021. You are welcome!
The conference proceedings will be submitted for consideration for publishing and listing on the following bibliographic indexes:
- DBLP Computer Science, and
- Others – e.g. Scopus, CiteSeerX, Computer Science Index, EI Compendex, Academic Search Complete, CiteULike, Google Scholar & Microsoft Academic Search.
Details
Cyber Security 2021 will host:
- Posters & Presentations will be presented at the conference.
- Industry track is available for discussing and publishing pilot and proof of concepts.
- Work in Progress track is available for preliminary work.
- Research Ideas track is available for ideas in early stages assessment.
- PhD Seminar track is available for discussing and publishing early PhD thesis research.
