[aims-announce] Call for Papers: 1st Workshop on Network Security Operations (NeSecOr)

[Martin Husák]

*1st Workshop on Network Security Operations (NeSecOr)*
co-located with 20th International Conference on Network and Service 
Management
Prague, Czech Republic, 28 - 31 October 2024

Automation and orchestration represent a paradigm shift in how security 
operations are conducted. Automation involves the use of technology to 
perform tasks with minimal human intervention, streamlining processes 
such as threat detection, incident response, and system remediation. 
Orchestration goes a step further by integrating these automated tasks 
into a cohesive workflow, enabling seamless coordination across 
different security tools and systems. Together, these approaches can 
significantly improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of security 
operations.

The workshop will cover key topics including the fundamentals of 
security automation, the role of orchestration in creating unified 
security workflows, and best practices for implementing these 
technologies in a network security environment. Participants will gain 
hands-on experience with leading automation and orchestration platforms, 
explore real-world case studies, and engage in interactive sessions 
designed to solve practical security challenges.

*Paper Submission Guideline*

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers not under 
review elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in *IEEE 2-column format*. 
Maximum paper lengths, including title, abstract, all figures, tables, 
and references, are *7 pages for regular papers* and *4 pages for short 
papers*.

Papers have to be submitted electronically in PDF format through the 
EDAS conference management system, accessible via:
