Proceedings of the ACM International Workshop on Security and Privacy Analytics

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2019 ACM Workshop on Security and Privacy & Analytics - IWSPA 2019. This year's workshop is the fifth in the series and continues the tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results and experience reports on leading edge issues and applications/adaptations of data analytics (by which we mean techniques drawn from data mining, machine learning, statistics and natural language processing) to security challenges. Data analysis techniques also have serious implications on privacy. Because of these reasons, the first four ACM international workshops on security and privacy analytics were organized in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The mission of IWSPA is to create a forum for interaction between data analytics and security/privacy experts and to examine the questions raised in the previous workshops. The call for papers attracted 14 abstracts and 13 papers from Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. Each paper was assigned to at least three program committee members for review, a total of 39 reviews were obtained with every paper receiving exactly three reviews. The quality of the submissions was high. Consequently, five papers were accepted for presentation as full papers (11-page limit) and one was accepted as a short paper (7-page limit).
