 VizSec brings together researchers and practitioners from academia,
government, and industry to address the needs of the cybersecurity
community through new and insightful visualization and analysis
techniques. VizSec
program will be presented in a hybrid format with virtual presentations.

We are soliciting Technical (Full), Short, Poster, and Position Papers.
Technical Papers

Full papers describing novel contributions in security visualization are
solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, theory, analysis,
experiments, or evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on
technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices,
including, but not limited to:

   -

   Situation awareness and/or understanding
   -

   Incident handling including triage, exploration, correlation, and
   response
   -

   Computer forensics
   -

   Machine learning & explainable AI for cybersecurity
   -

   Adversarial machine learning visualization
   -

   Adversarial visualization
   -

   Visual analytics for cybersecurity
   -

   Data protection & privacy
   -

   Blockchain performance & security
   -

   Cybersecurity in critical infrastructure
   -

   Collaborative visualization for cybersecurity & provenance
   -

   Decision support for security configuration and deployment
   -

   Reverse engineering and malware analysis
   -

   Vulnerability management
   -

   Multiple data source analysis
   -

   Analyzing information requirements for computer network defense
   -

   Evaluation and/or user testing of systems
   -

   Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of cyber security
   visualizations, for security goals or human factors
   -

   System modeling and network analysis
   -

   Usable Security and Privacy
   -

   Software security
   -

   Mobile application security
   -

   Social networking privacy and security
   -

   Training & education
   -

   Visualization for privacy engineering


Submissions including tests and evaluations of the proposed tools and
techniques are encouraged. If possible, making test data available will be
considered positively. If you do not have real-world data, you may check the

and
on IEEE Xplore.

Short Papers

Short papers describing initial research results, case studies, or
incremental work on the above topics are solicited. We encourage papers
discussing the introduction of cyber security visualizations into
operational context, including, but not limited to:

   -

   Cases where visualization made positive contributions towards meeting
   operational needs
   -

   Gaps or negative outcomes from visualization deployments
   -

   Situations where visualization was not utilized, but could have had a
   positive impact
   -

   Lessons learned from operational engagements
   -

   Insights gained from the transition process


Position Papers

Position papers discuss or reconsider forgotten topics relevant for the
VizSec community. They should report a clear position on the target topic
and should also suggest a proposal or actions. They should stimulate
imaginative and hypothesis-driven research. In particular, we encourage
submissions both from researchers inside the visualization community and
outside, such as researchers and practitioners from pure cybersecurity
domains who currently do not broadly employ visualization in their work.
Posters

Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress,
preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec
community. The poster session offers a timely venue to present and discuss
these submissions through active engagement with the community. The
presentation of posters will take place in a hybrid event, with 1-2
dedicated hybrid sessions in which authors can meet and discuss their work
with conference participants. An additional web presence of posters will
supplement the traditional physical installation. More concrete details
will follow soon.

Awards

There will be an award for the best full paper from the accepted program.
This award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall
quality as determined by the program committee. Key elements of the
selection process include whether papers include evaluation, repeatable
results, and open-source data or software. Authors of the best paper will
be invited to submit an article about their work to the IEEE Transactions
on Visualization and Computer Graphics journal.

There will also be an award for Best Poster. This award will recognize
authors’ efforts to clearly present their work to the audience. The award
will be determined by anonymous judges and given to recipients at the end
of the conference

Submissions

The VizSec 2022 Proceedings will be published by IEEE. Submissions must be
formatted using the IEEE VGTC conference template found at:
https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!b4lwd6Eif8DAHTXiAdBwhJDxHOlapt-6dafKwN62bNdMmvNsFcQmYfTsMwVVevDXwUyWLw6-t3MxBstQmQq1-jdKHc5xXw$>


   - Full papers are limited to 9 pages of content plus an additional 2
   pages of references. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices or
   any pages past the maximum.
   - Short papers are at most 4 pages plus 1 page of references.
   - Position papers are at most 4 pages total including references.
   - Posters must be 2-page abstracts.

Presenters are also encouraged to submit an accompanying video or other
supplementary materials by following the IEEE VIS formatting guidelines.

Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without
consideration of their merit. Reviews are single-blind, so authors may
include names and affiliations in their submissions. Submitted papers must
not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are
simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
presented at the conference.

VizSec uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) to handle their paper and
poster submissions and reviewing processes.
