APWG San Diego eCrime 2018 Conference Expands Topics to Solicit Research in Behavioral, Policy and Crypto Currency Aspects of Cybercrime
The thirteenth annual APWG Symposium on Electronic Crime Research
(eCrime 2018) this May 14-16 in San Diego expands the topical space that
the conference explores to include user psychology, crypto currencies
and public policy dimensions of cybercrime research: Papers on these subjects have been submitted for years by researchers keen to present at APWG eCrime, the world's only peer-reviewed research conference dedicated exclusively to cybercrime studies. The additions formally integrate these topics into the symposium's call for papers (CFP), along with the economics of online crime, attack strategies and countermeasures, malware, cybercrime directed against mobile devices and other topics that have been solicited since the symposium's founding. eCrime Symposium General Chair Dr. Brad Wardman said, "eCrime is a call for action, bringing industry and academic researchers together to provide context and solutions around the ever-increasing number of electronic crimes. The expanded call-for-papers broadens the scope to better understand electronic crimes from different fields of study." Additions to the 2018 CFP include the following subjects and conference-specific foci: User psychology / cognition / awareness
Public Policy and Law
Crypto Currency and Cybercrime Tools and Responses
APWG Secretary General and founder of the eCrime conference Peter Cassidy said, "APWG launched the symposium and composed the initial CFP with a more or less technical conference in mind. Since then, however, most every department in the university and every kind of industrial laboratory has honored us with its own insights about the nature of cybercrime and the opportunities for managing it. We look forward to the research that the expanded CFP will return to our symposium this year."
The symposium will be held between May 14 - 16, 2018 in La Jolla, CA. eCrime 2018, comprised of the peer-reviewed research symposium and the APWG general members' meeting, consists of 3 days of keynote presentations, technical and practical sessions, and interactive panels. The program promotes a cross-fertilizing dialog between the academic and industrial research communities, security practitioners, and law enforcement personnel to exchange ideas, experiences and lessons learned in all aspects of investigation, detection and programmatic suppression of electronic crime.
Proceedings of the symposium are published by the IEEE and accepted
papers are archived in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. An index of
papers accepted to the Symposium on Electronic Crime Research over the
year is available here:
