The 7th Inernational Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security, better known as VizSec, has published their details of the upcoming event and this year’s focus on “effective visual interfaces”.

This year our focus is on understanding what makes effective visual interfaces for different cyber security tasks. This involves both advancing our understanding of what cyber security tasks are, and improving our understanding of what it means for a security visualization to be effective. Cyber security visualization tasks cover a wide range, including (but not limited to) obtaining situational awareness in massive datasets; incorporating data from disparate sources during incident handling; producing actionable reports for others; modeling the behavior of systems; and predicting future events.

Submission guidelines are on their site.
