Security and privacy are of capital importance to the development of a
sustainable, resilient and prosperous cyber world. This includes protecting
crucial assets ranging from Critical Infrastructures to  individual's
Personal Information, and it spans domains like Cloud computing,  Social
Computing, Electronic Commerce and many more. Approaches that are
intelligent and self-adaptable are required to deal with the complexities of
effectively protecting these crucial assets in all these domains. This is
where research from the Artificial Intelligence community can make a
difference in security and privacy.

advance security and privacy by means of *AI approaches*. A list of topics
