CyberSafety 2016: The First International Workshop on Computational Methods for CyberSafety

The goal of this inaugural workshop on cybersafety is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, government and research labs working in the area of cybersafety to discuss the unique challenges in addressing various cybersafety issues and to share experiences, solutions, tools and techniques. Examples of cybersafety issues include cyberbullying, cyberthreats, recruiting minors via Internet services for nefarious purposes, using deceptive means to dupe vulnerable populations, exhibiting misbehaving behaviors such as using profanity or flashing in online video chats, and many others. The focus of the CyberSafety workshop is on the detection, prevention and mitigation of various cybersafety issues, as well as education and promoting safe practices. CyberSafety 2016 will be a one-day workshop, held on October 28, 2016 in conjunction with ACM CIKM 2016 in Indianapolis, IN, USA.
