Call



--------------------------------------



There is a large and growing interest in applying models and techniques at
the intersection of artificial intelligence, game theory, operations
research, machine learning, social science and psychology to solve problems
related to security, which is one of the grand challenges for engineering
in the 21st century. In fact, the last five years have seen systems
developed and applied to real-world domains including but not limited to
randomized patrol planning for the Los Angeles International Airport
police, Federal Air Marshal Service, US Coast Guard and Los Angeles Metro
System.



While there has been significant progress, there still exist many major
challenges facing the design of effective approaches to deal with the
difficulties in adversarial domains including physical security and cyber
security. These challenges include designing efficient algorithms for
adversarial reasoning, improving the robustness of solutions, creating
better models of human decisions under bounded rationality, and learning
from available data to improve solution quality and adaptation to new
conditions. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration from
different communities including artificial intelligence, game theory,
operations research, social science, and psychology. This workshop is
structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas between members from
these communities as well as researchers from industry and the public
sector.

Submissions



--------------------------------------



Authors are invited to submit papers (maximum 7 pages), describing their
work on one or more of the topics relevant to the workshop. Alternatively,
participants may submit a shorter paper (maximum 3 pages) presenting a
research statement or perspective on topics relevant to the workshop.
Accepted papers will be presented during the workshop and will be published
in the workshop proceedings.



Authors are requested to prepare their papers by following the IJCAI 2015
submission formatting guidelines at:
http://ijcai-15.org/downloads/FormattingGuidelinesIJCAI-15.zip.



Papers should be submitted in PDF using the EasyChair conference system
available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=becis2015. We welcome
the submission of papers rejected from the IJCAI 2015 technical program.
Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty,
significance, and clarity. Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by
at least two program committee members.



For questions about the submission process, please contact the workshop
co-chairs.







Reviewing process
