Following the success of the TCV workshop, there will be a special issue of the JCV, see http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/. Submissions for this special issue are hereby solicited to participants of the workshop.
The workshop was held on May 4-5 2006 in Nancy (France) organized by the QSL-VVV operation and the ARA-Virus. More information can be found at http://www.loria.fr/~bonfante/TCV.html
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.
