FloCon 2008 (there was no 2007) will be held Jan 7-10, 2008 in Savannah GA. Information on the conference and the conference hotel
are available at http://www.cert.org/flocon/

FloCon is an open workshop that provides a forum for operational analysts, tool developers, and other parties interested in the security analysis of large volumes of traffic to develop the next generation of flow-based analysis. Flow is an abstraction of network traffic in which packets are grouped together by common attributes over time. In security, flow has been used to survey and analyze large networks and long periods of time. Presentation submissions are highly encouraged, but not required, to attend the conference.  Questions and comments can be directed to [email-masked].

Submission Deadline: Midnight, Friday October 5, 2007 EDT

Email a short (one paragraph to one page) description of your presentation to [email-masked]. All submissions will be held in confidence by the FloCon committee pending acceptance and presentation at the workshop. Author(s) must include their name, email address, telephone number and organization they represent. Anonymous submissions will not be accepted. While presentations are specifically sought, papers will also be considered and, when accepted,  included in the proceedings. All submissions are subject to the FloCon copyright policy described on the web site.
Presentations reflecting experience and practical issues are especially welcomed. Topics appropriate for presentation to this workshop include, but are not limited to the following:
•    Flow for network forensics

•    Visualizations of flow and analytical results
•    Multi-stage analysis methods
