Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Security and Privacy Analytics

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 ACM International Workshop on Security and Privacy Analytics - IWSPA 2020. This year's workshop is the sixth 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 five ACM international workshops on security and privacy analytics were organized in 2015-2019. 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 18 abstracts and 14 papers from Asia, Europe, and North America. Each paper was assigned to at least three program committee members for review, a total of 46 reviews were obtained with every paper receiving at least three reviews. The quality of the paper submissions was high this year. Consequently, five papers were accepted for presentation as full papers (11-page limit) and three were accepted as short papers (7-page limit). We also have a dataset and benchmarking paper in the proceedings this year.
