Important News! * 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 Prof. Laurence T. Yang, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada 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.
