* Keynote speakers
Prof. Francisco Herrera, University of Granada, Spain (EiC of Information
Fusion)
Prof. Y. Thomas Hou (Tom Hou), Virginia Tech, USA (IEEE Fellow)
Dr. Anand Prasad, NEC Corporation, Japan (3GPP SA3 Chair)
Prof. Yang Xiang, Deakin University, Australia

While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and
powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more
effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high performance defense
systems which are distributed and networked. The conference will cover
research on all theoretical and practical aspects related to network and
system security, such as authentication, access control, availability,
integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability, trustworthiness, and
sustainability of computer networks and systems. The aim of NSS is to
provide a leading edge forum to foster interaction between researchers and
developers with the network and system security communities, and to give
attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry,
and governments. NSS 2017 is the next event in a series of highly
successful events of Network and System Security. Previous editions were
held in: Taipei (2016), New York City, USA (2015), Xi'an, China (2014),
Madrid, Spain (2013); Wu Yi Shan, China (2012); Milan, Italy (2011);
Melbourne, Australia; (2010); Gold Coast, Australia (2009); Shanghai, China
(2008); and Dalian, China (2007).
