CFP: ECIW 2011

I am back from my summer hiatus and ready to kick-start another year of cyber conflict studies. Let's start with the CFP to the 10th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security (ECIW). This time it is held in Tallinn, Estonia. It is hosted by the Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology, in collaboration with the CCD COE. I will be serving as the local Program Chair, so I hope to see some of you there.

Please feel free to circulate this CFP:
This is a call for papers for 10th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security being held at The Institute of Cybernetics at the Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia on the 7-8 July 2011.

The 10th European Conference on Information Warfare and Security (ECIW) is an opportunity for academics, practitioners and consultants from Europe and elsewhere who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of systems and concepts to combat information warfare or to improve information systems security to come together and exchange ideas. There are several strong strands of research and interest that are developing in the area including the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, as well as incident detection and post incident investigation. This conference is continuing to establish itself as a key event for individuals working in the field from around the world.

Please consider submitting to this conference. We are interested in the entire range of concepts from theory to practice, including case studies, works-in-progress, and conceptual explorations. The conference committee welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods.

Case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited.
