The Fourth European Conference on Information Warfare and Security (ECIW)

implementation of systems and concepts to combat information warfare or to 
improve information systems security to come together and exchange ideas. 
There are several strong strands of research and interest that are 
developing in the area including the understanding of threats and risks to 
information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well 
as incident detection and post incident investigation. This conference is 
continuing to establish itself as a key event for individuals working in 
the field from around the world .

The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers on both 
the theory and practice of all aspects of Information Warfare and Security. 
The conference in July 2005 is seeking qualitative, experience-based and 
quantitative papers as well as case studies and reports of work in progress 
from academics, information systems practitioners, consultants and 
government departments. Topics may include, but are not limited to, 
e-Intelligence/counter-intelligence, Perception management, Information 
warfare theory, Electro-magnetic pulse weapons, Information, computer and 
network security, Cryptography, Physical security, Security policy, 
Information warfare policy, Information warfare techniques, Hacking,

Full papers: Only required on acceptance of abstract. The full papers 
(between 3000-5000 words) will be double blind reviewed before being 
accepted for presentation at the conference and for publication in the 
conference proceedings. Submission date will be no later than 28 March 2005.

Important Information:
The selection panel of the conference committee will consider all abstracts 
received by the submission deadline to ensure that the proposed paper is 
relevant to the Conference.  The authors of abstracts, which describe a 
relevant paper, will receive a notification of abstract acceptance. All 
full papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the conference 
committee to ensure an adequate standard, that the proposed subject of 
their abstract has been followed, that the paper is of a suitable length, 
the standard of English is adequate and the paper is appropriately 
referenced. Papers that are accepted will be published in the conference 
proceedings providing at least one author registers and presents the work 
at the Conference (see the registration section of the conference website 
for more information about registration). Due to the large number of papers 
expected for this conference, the committee only allows an author to 
present one paper. Therefore if multiple papers are accepted for 
presentation different co-authors need to present each paper.
