Each year DIMVA brings together international experts from academia, industry and government to present and discuss novel research in these areas. DIMVA is organized by the special interest group Security - Intrusion Detection and Response (SIDAR) of the German Informatics Society (GI). The conference proceedings will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. DIMVA solicits submission of high-quality, original scientific work. This year we invite two types of paper submissions: * Full papers, presenting novel and mature research results. Full papers are limited to 20 pages, prepared according to the instructions provided below.
