While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high performance defense systems which are distributed and networked. We will focus our program on issues related to Network and System Security, such as authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability of computer networks and systems. The aim of this conference is to provide a leading edge forum to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the network and system security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry and governments.

NSS 2009 is the next event in a series of highly successful events of Network and System Security (NSS), previously held as IFIP International Workshop on Network and System Security: NSS 2008 (Shanghai, China, October 2008) and NSS 2007 (Dalian, China, September 2007), respectively.

The publications of this conference will be IEEE Computer Society Proceedings (EI, ISTP, and INSPEC indexed). Selected best papers will be published in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley, SCI and EI indexed), Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier, SCI and EI indexed), and Computer Communications (Elsevier, SCI and EI indexed).

NSS 2009 is in technical co-sponsorship with the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing.
