Following the success of past workshops in this series, ISEC and CSEC are delighted to host the Third International Workshop on Security, IWSEC2008, on November 25-27, 2008, in Kagawa, Japan.

The complex structure of networks, middleware, agents, P2P applications and ubiquitous computing for commercial, personal, communal and public use, brought forth the advent of information society in the cyberspace. However the system poses new and diverse threats to the world. It is imperative for the security researchers to look into the issues from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The aim of IWSEC2008 is to contribute to security research and development addressing the topics from traditional theory and tools on security to up-to-date issues.
