Scope Computer viruses, Spywares, Malware, Worms are an every day threat for our computers and more generally for information systems. We must face these threats, and the theory of computer viruses is in its infancy. The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from various research areas in order to discuss and to exchange about malwares. We especially focus on the issues of self-reproduction and the spreading abilities of computer viruses. The long term goal of this line of research is to define a formal framework from which we could base safely our defense against viruses. Topics Models of computer viruses, of their spreading Self-reproduction mechanisms Obfuscation, Polymorphism and hiding procedures Detection of computer viruses Biologically Inspired Immune Systems Invited talks Eric Filiol (ESAT - Rennes) Chantal Finance (UHP - Nancy I) Radu State (LORIA) Benjamin Morin (Supelec Rennes) Jean-Yves Marion (LORIA) Stefano Zanero (Politecnico Turin) Melanie Rieback (vrije Universität - Amsterdam) InSeon Yoo (Université de Fribourg) |
