The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. Page numbers (and, if possible, line numbers) should appear on the manuscript to help the reviewers in writing their report. So, for LaTeX, we recommend that authors use: \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{lineno} \linenumbers Full papers cannot exceed 15 pages excluding references. Extended abstracts cannot exceed 8 pages excluding references. Additional pages may be used for appendices not intended for publication. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lopstr2022 Accepted Full Papers will be published in the formal LNCS proceedings. Accepted Extended Abstracts will be included in the informal proceedings if enough papers are accepted. The program committee may recommend some full papers to be accepted only for presentation at the symposium and to be included in the informal proceedings.

Due to this growth and the upcoming retirement of some of our professors we envisage having appointed eight new full professors by the end of 2024 in the following fields of expertise: software systems (preferably in software production, and software and information security), artificial intelligence and data science (preferably in machine learning, responsible AI, and natural Language processing) and interaction (preferably in data-driven interaction). We are now actively searching to fill four positions. Since we aim to continue to increase the participation of women in Information and Computing Sciences (both students and staff), we wish to appoint at least two female full professors. Additionally, we have one position open that is not tied to any specific area, exclusively reserved for female candidates, a Westerdijk chair*. In Software Systems, we have research groups on Software Technology, Software Technology for Teaching and Learning, Software Production, and Business Process Management and Analytics. We lead the research masters on Computing Science and Business Informatics, and co-lead the bachelors Informatics and Information Science. We engage closely with industry and public sector partners to study the development and adoption of software technology and software production methods. In Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, we have research groups on Intelligent Systems, Data Intensive Systems, Data Mining, and Natural Language Processing. We lead the multidisciplinary research master in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and co-lead the Applied Data Science master and Artificial Intelligence bachelor. We closely collaborate with the public sector and companies, for example in our National Police Lab AI and AI & Mobility Lab. We also work closely with other disciplines, for example in the university's Human Centered AI and Applied Data Science focus areas. In Interaction Technology, we have research groups on Human Centered Computing, Game and Media Technology, Social and Affective Computing, and Visualisation and Graphics. We lead the Research Masters on Game & Media Technology and Human-Computer Interaction, and co-lead the Bachelor Information Science. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a Human-Centered Computing lab for prototyping interactive systems and conducting user studies and a Motion Capture and Virtual Reality Lab with full body motion capture equipment.

Internet has become essential for the exchange of information between user groups and organizations from different backgrounds and with different needs and objectives. These users are exposed to increasing risks regarding security and privacy, due to the development of more and more sophisticated online attacks, the growth of Cyber Crime, etc. Attackers nowadays do not lack motivation and they are more and more experienced. To make matters worse, for performing attacks have become easily accessible. Moreover, the increasing complexity as well as the immaturity of new technologies such as pervasive, mobile and wireless devices and networks, raise new security challenges. In this context, new security mechanisms and techniques should be deployed to achieve an assurance level acceptable for critical domains such as energy, transportation, health, defense, banking, critical infrastructures, embedded systems and networks, avionics systems, etc. The CRiSIS conference offers a remarkable forum for computer and network security actors from industry, academia and government to meet, exchange ideas and present recent advances on Internet-related security threats and vulnerabilities, and on the solutions that are needed to counter them. The list of topics includes but is not limited to: AI and machine learning based security approaches Analysis and management of risk Attacks and defenses Attack data acquisition and network monitoring Authorization, Authentication, and Identity Management Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies Cryptography, biometrics, watermarking Dependability and fault tolerance of Internet applications Distributed systems security and safety Embedded system security and safety Empirical methods for security and risk evaluation Hardware-based security and physical security Intrusion detection and prevention systems Organizational, ethical, and legal issues Privacy protection and anonymization Risk-aware access and usage control Analysis and management of cyber crisis Security and risk assessment Security and risks metrics Security and dependability of operating systems Security and safety of critical infrastructures Security and privacy of peer-to-peer system Security and privacy of wireless networks Security in Cloud/Edge/Fog computing Security models and security policies Security of big data Security of industrial control systems Security of intelligent transportation systems Security of e-commerce, electronic voting and database systems Security of new generation networks Security of smart cities Security of smart grid Security of social networks Security of the IoT and IIoT Security of VoIP and multimedia Smartphone security and privacy Traceability, metrology and forensics Trust management Ubiquitous computing security Use of smart cards and personal devices for Internet applications Virtualization security Web and Web-service security =============== SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.
