14th Annual Workshop on the Economic of Information Security (WEIS2015)

Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, June 22-23, 2015
__________________________________________________________________________


The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the
leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security
and privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social
science, business, law, policy, and computer science. Prior workshops
have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of
information systems, identified market failures surrounding Internet
security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure, and assessed
investments in cyber-defense. WEIS 2015 will build on past efforts using
empirical and analytic tools not only to understand threats, but also to
strengthen security and privacy through novel evaluations of available
solutions.

We encourage economists, computer scientists, legal scholars, business
school researchers, security and privacy specialists, as well as
industry experts to submit their research and participate by attending
the workshop. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to)
empirical and theoretical studies of:

-    Optimal investment in information security
-    Models and analysis of online crime
-    Risk management and cyber-insurance
-    Security standards and regulation
-    Cyber-security and privacy policy
-    Cyber-defense strategy and game theory
-    Security and privacy models and metrics
-    Economics of privacy and anonymity
-    Behavioral security and privacy
-    Vulnerability discovery, disclosure, and patching
-    Incentives for information sharing and cooperation
-    Incentives  regarding pervasive monitoring threats


Manuscripts should represent significant and novel research
contributions. WEIS has no formal formatting guidelines. Previous
contributors spanned fields from economics and psychology to computer
science and law, each with different norms and expectations about
manuscript length and formatting.

Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of
the Journal of Cybersecurity, a new, interdisciplinary, open access
journal published by Oxford University Press.

Thanks to our sponsors, a number of student travel grants are also
available.
