The European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference – EICC 2020
aims at establishing a venue for the exchange of information on
cybersecurity and its many aspects between academics and practitioners
in Europe. EICC was formerly known as the Central European
Cybersecurity Conference – CECC and has been rebranded to underscore
the interdisciplinarity of the conference and broaden its reach. EICC
2020 encourages the dialogue between computer scientists and
researchers in all other fields related to cybersecurity, such as
behavioral sciences, sociology, criminology, investigations and law.
Interdisciplinary contributions are especially welcome.

EICC 2020 is organized by National Institute for Research in Digital
Science and Technology - Inria / CentraleSupélec and will be co-
located
with European Cyber Week 2020:

== COVID-19 Update ==

The EICC 2020 steering committee is carefully watching the COVID-19
situation around the globe and will take all possible measures to
ensure the safety of participants on one side and the success of the
conference on the other:

* Authors that cannot present at the conference due to the pandemic
will be allowed to present their work virtually.
* Conference proceedings will be published by ACM ICPS even if we have
to switch to an all-virtual conference.

== Scope ==

The conference is devoted to exploring and presenting original
innovative applications, scientific and technological advancements in
the field of cybersecurity. Topics for this conference include, but are
not limited to:

Cybersecurity and cyber resilience
Cyber insurance
Digital privacy
Digital currency, blockchains and cybercrime
Law, investigation, internet jurisdiction and ethics
Child safety in the cyberspace

Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended
version to the special issue on Multidisciplinary Solutions to Modern
Cybersecurity Challenges of the Journal of Wireless Mobile Networks,
Ubiquitous Computing, and Dependable Applications (JoWUA:
https://jowua.com/) - Indexed in Sciverse, Scopus; SJR Q2.

== Submission guidelines ==

The official language of the conference is English. Papers are limited
to 6 pages.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

*Full papers* reporting on original research findings (5-6 pages)
*Short papers* reporting on original research findings (2-4 pages)
*Posters* (extended abstracts) reporting on original research findings
(1-2 pages)

Papers submitted to EICC 2020 have to use the ACM SigConf template (
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Please, read
template instructions carefully before submitting the paper. The use of
the Latex template is strongly encouraged. Non-proficient Latex users
are encouraged to use the Overleaf online collaborative Latex platform
(ACM Latex template on Overleaf:
https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official#.WOuOk2e1taQ).

Authors of accepted posters should prepare A1 sized posters (portrait
or landscape) for the poster exhibition. Other designs may be
considered.

The quality of the research papers will be assessed based on its
originality, significance and clarity.

All submitted research papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing
process. Please, make sure that submitted papers do not contain author
names or obvious self-references. Please note that the page limit
applies to papers with authors and not the submitted anonymized
version.

Each paper will be reviewed by 2-3 reviewers. Afterwards, a discussion
will be held by the chairs and reviewers to determine the outcomes of
the peer-review.

Submission of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will
register and present the paper at the conference if the paper is
accepted. If an author has more than one accepted paper, each
additional accepted paper costs the same fee as the first.

Submit papers using the EICC 2020 submission system:
