Computer Viruses and Malware Advances in Information Security
Computer Viruses and Malware Advances in Information Security Sushil Jajodia Consulting Editor Center for Secure Information Systems George Mason University Fairfax, VA 22030-4444 email: [email protected] The goals of the Springer International Series on ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY are, one, to establish the state of the art of, and set the course for future research in information security and, two, to serve as a central reference source for advanced and timely topics in information security research and development. The scope of this series includes all aspects of computer and network security and related areas such as fault tolerance and software assurance. ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY aims to publish thorough and cohesive overviews of specific topics in information security, as well as works that are larger in scope or that contain more detailed background information than can be accommodated in shorter survey articles. The series also serves as a forum for topics that may not have reached a level of maturity to warrant a comprehensive textbook treatment. Researchers, as well as developers, are encouraged to contact Professor Sushil Jajodia with ideas for books under this series.

ACM Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2015 Letter from the President As I think back over the last year, I find it a fantastic time to be a member of the world’s largest profes- sional and student membership society in computing. We continue to build on the services and resources our volunteers and staff provide to the worldwide community, from the foremost collection of comput- Alexander L. Wolf, ACM President ing literature to the forefront of computing education and professional development, from expert advice on public policy and professional ethics to the advance- ment of a balanced and representative work force. Also as I think back over the last year, I note it was a year of important firsts. ACM presented its first million-dollar A.M. Turing Award, bringing the financial clout of this renowned honor in computing in line with the world’s most prestigious cultural and scientific prizes. Thanks to the generous support of Google, this new monetary level raises the Turing Award’s visibility as the premier recognition of computer scientists and engineers who have made contributions of enduring technical importance to the computing community. ACM hosted its first conference targeted spe- cifically at the computing practitioner community. Indeed, the Applicative conference was so successful we expect its successor, slated for June, to double in attendance. In addition, ACM recently introduced ACM, the Association for its first acmqueue app—an interactive, socially net- worked, electronic magazine designed to more easily Computing Machinery, is an reach where its audience now lives and works. international scientific and ACM established its first award to recognize the computing talents of high school seniors.
