The inaugural Digital Pest Symposium (DPS1)
will be held in Melbourne in February 2005 (date TBA).
The Digital Pest Symposium is a one-day event, focussing on the twin global
scourges of "spam" email and malicious software (including, but not limited
to, viruses, worms, trojans and spyware). Just about anyone who uses a
computer these days (and that's most of us) has to deal with these in some
way, so all are welcome and encouraged to attend, and indeed participate.
This year's event will be held at:
Australian Industry Group
Ground Floor
20 Queens Road
Melbourne Vic 3004
Goals
-
to promote the sharing of information and experience relating to
digital pest countermeasures,
-
to raise awareness of the role of good software and systems design
in controlling digital pests,
-
to raise the awareness of open-source countermeasures within the
broader ICT community.
Format
The event is made up of 45 minute talks, comprising mostly speaking time
and an allowance for questions. We encourage both technical and non-
technical presentations, on topics including:
-
anti-virus and anti-spam solutions
-
anti-virus and anti-spam software internals
-
methodology - vulnerabilities exploited by spammers and virus
authors
-
user education
-
legalities (e.g. fighting spam in the courts)
-
ISP strategies
-
the role of government
