Threat Detection and Countermeasures in Network Security
A book edited by Prof. Dr. Alaa Hussein Al-Hamami (Amman Arab University, Jordan)
and Dr. Ghossoon M. Waleed Al-Saadoon (Applied Sciences University, kingdom of Bahrain)
To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1059
For release in the Advances in Information Security, Privacy, & Ethics (AISPE) Book Series.
Introduction
Nowadays, the field of security is facing more challenges than ever due to the fact that “Perfect Security is not exist” and
to the innovation in e-business applications, which need more security and trust in doing business. There is a facto also
concerning the new technology because “New technology brings new threats”. Security will continue its mission of
promoting high level research efforts and novel applications through specialized research issues. Security constitutes many
important topics for novel and future oriented research.
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in Threat Detection and Countermeasures
in Network Security. This book will publish original material concerned with all aspects of security on network threats
detection and prevention, security countermeasures and algorithms, modeling, analysis, management, implementation,
theories, and performance evaluation. The primary mission of the book is to be influential in the improvement and
development of the theory and practice of countermeasures in network security and its theories, algorithms, applications
and modeling, appealing to academics, researchers, and professionals. In the information technology age, and with
tremendous advancement in computer and communication technologies, network security has become an integral part of
many applications and organizations. It is our further aim to provide enough examples to educate organizations on how they
can benefit from network security, evaluate the performance, and manage these valuable resources.
Computer security theories are widely‐used in investigating the performance of existing and proposed computer
networks security, protocols, algorithms, models, applications, etc. The application of network security can potentially
improve the quality and effectiveness of network design and modeling. It is generally unfeasible to implement a network
security design, protocol, algorithm, or model before valid tests are performed to evaluate their performance. It is clear that
testing and evaluating such implementations with real hardware is quite complex, in terms of the manpower, time, and other
resources. The preferred alternative is to model these algorithms in a detailed simulator and then perform various scenarios
to measure their performance for various patterns of realistic computer networks environments (e.g., connection media,
node densities, node mobility, transmission range, size of traffic, etc…). The main challenge to simulation is to model the
process as close as possible to reality; otherwise it could produce entirely different performance characteristics from the
ones discovered during actual use. In addition, the simulation study must be repeatable, unbiased, realistic, statistically
sound, and cost‐effective.
Objectives of the Book
The main objectives of this comprehensive and timely book is to: present state‐of‐the‐art methodologies in networks
security, implementation, application and modeling for threats detections and countermeasures; illustrate the benefits of
detection and prevention threats applications in computer networks, modeling, and analysis; identify the main issues that
face efficient and effective countermeasures implementation in network security; demonstrate by examples how the
performance of computer network security can be evaluated; provide cutting edge research on threat detections and
preventions and countermeasures of computer security; present the trends in countermeasures (modeling, application,
analysis,..etc); discuss the main features of current security simulations; point‐ out the main trends in security evaluation
and their tools; introduce the most popular academic and professional computer networks simulators; and finally, provide a
complete compilation of the problems arise during the use of network security and the solutions are applied to them.
CALL FOR CHAPTERS
Target Audience
The intended audience includes academics, researchers, post‐graduate students, developers, professionals, network designers,
network analysts, telecommunication system designers, technology specialists, practitioners, and people who are interested in using
simulation in computer network security. Another projected audience is the researchers and academicians who identify methodologies,
concepts, tools, and applications through reference citations, literature reviews, quantitative/qualitative results, and discussions. The book
is designed to be first choice reference at university libraries, academic institutions, research and development centers, information
technology centers, and any institutions interested in using, design, modeling, and analyzing computer networks security. The book is
designed to be used as a textbook for courses teaching computer networks security, simulation, and modeling for under/post graduate
students.
