ICSPS 2017 is an opportunity for academics, students, scholars, scientists and engineers from around the world who are involved in the study, management, development and implementation of systems and concepts to combat information warfare or to improve Signal Processing and Security to come together and exchange ideas. This conference is trying to establish itself as a key event for the understanding of threats and risks to information systems, the development of a strong security culture, and incident investigation.

Please consider submitting to this conference. We are interested in the entire range of concepts from theory to practice, including case studies, works-in-progress, and conceptual explorations.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline for publication in the ICSPS 2017 Conference Proceedings and for presentation(s) in the symposia listed below. Deadlines will be strictly matched and late papers will be summarily rejected. The conference welcomes papers on the following (but not limited to) research topics.
