4. SCOPE

Information assurance and security has become an important research
issue in the networked and distributed information sharing
environments. Finding effective ways to protect information systems,
networks and sensitive data within the critical information
infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology
and trained professionals.

The International Conference on Information Assurance and Security
(IAS) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers,
and policy makers involved in multiple disciplines of information
security and assurance to exchange ideas and to learn the latest
development in this important field.

IAS'10 builds on the success of last year's. IAS'09 was held during
August 18-20, 2009 in Xi'ian China and attracted participants from
several countries.

5. Call for Regular Session Papers:
