Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit original papers not previously published nor submitted in parallel for publication to any other conference, workshop or journal. All submitted papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references, for double blind reviews.
Accepted papers will be presented at ICICS 2022 and included in the conference's proceeding published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper should register with full rate to the conference and give a presentation at the conference. Failure to register or absence from the presentation will eventually make your paper NOT being included in the conference proceedings.
Submissions should be in English, as a PDF file with all fonts embedded, in the Springer LNCS format (details can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0), typeset with 10pt font, and using reasonable spacing and margins. Papers should not exceed 16 pages in LNCS style including the bibliography, but excluding well-marked appendices (no more than 18 pages in total). Note that papers should be intelligible without all appendices, since committee members are not required to read them. Submitted papers may risk being rejected directly without consideration of their merits if they do not follow all the above submission instructions.
Awards
| The TPC will select one paper to receive a Best Paper Award, and another paper whose first co-author is a student to receive a Best Student Paper Award. Recepients of both awards will receive a certificate from the Conference and a cash award sponsored by Springer. |  |

To be eligible for the Best Artifact Award, the authors must submit a dataset, an executable software tool and/or source code of their work. Recepients of both awards will receive a certificate from the Conference and a cash award sponsored by the Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS), University of Kent. |  |
