Conference Topics:
====================================================
The goal of GameSec is to bring together academic and indus- trial
researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical
challenges and recent results that highlight the connection between
game theory, control, distributed optimization, economic incentives
and real world security, reputation, trust and privacy problems in a
variety of technological systems. Submissions should solely be
original research papers that have neither been published nor
submitted for publication elsewhere.

* Game theory and mechanism design for security and privacy
* Pricing and economic incentives for building dependable and secure systems
* Dynamic control, learning, and optimization and approximation techniques
* Decision making and decision theory for cybersecurity and security
requirements engineering
* Socio-technological and behavioral approaches to security
* Risk assessment and risk management
* Security investment and cyber insurance
* Security and privacy for the Internet-of-Things (IoT),
cyber-physical systems, resilient control systems
* New approaches for security and privacy in cloud computing and for
critical infrastructure
* Security and privacy of wireless and mobile communications,
including user location privacy
* Game theory for intrusion detection
* Empirical and experimental studies with game-theoretic or
optimization analysis for security and privacy

Special Track on "Data-Centric Models and Approaches"
-----------------------------------------------------
In cyber and physical security and privacy applications, data plays an
important role and presents fundamental challenges. In some domains,
it is difficult to gather a large amount of data, and the data
available may suffer from severe class imbalance, high noise, and
numerous missing entries. In other domains, when multiple agents are
involved, how the data presented to the agents impacts their decision
making is under-explored. It can be challenging to incorporate data of
the available form into the game-theoretic and decision-theoretic
models for these domains, since many current approaches apply to
precisely defined models and how to define models using the available
data is unclear in many cases. In addition to the data-related
challenges in cyber and physical security domains, the use of data in
many domains leads to security and privacy concerns, and
game-theoretic and decision-theoretic models can be designed for
addressing such concerns. This special track invites submissions on
various data-centric models and approaches, including work on
empirical game theory; adversarial machine learning; data collection
through crowdsourcing; synthetic data generation; applications of
machine learning methods; novel techniques for handling real-world
data and evaluating models using data.models and approaches, including
