Message from the Workshop Organizers The 5 th IEEE International Workshop on Network Technologies for Security, Administration and Protection NETSAP 2015

We would welcome you to the 5th IEEE International Workshop on Network Technologies for Security, Administration and Protection (NETSAP), associated with the IEEE International Computer Software and Applications Conference, COMPSAC, held in Taichung, Taiwan. This workshop aims to discuss and advance research and development of practical systems to fight against cyber attacks. In this year, we have accepted 4 papers out of 5 submitted ones based on the careful reviews performed by the Program Committee members. The accepted papers range over topics related to development of practical systems and methodologies including security management for mobile devices, network survivability on ad-hoc networks, malware detection and countermeasure against DDoS attack. We would appreciate all the authors who submitted papers to NETSAP 2015, and look forward to an even larger selection base in the following years. We also thank the members of the Program Committee, for their careful reviews of the submissions. The whole process supporting the workshop benefited from the COMPSAC 2015 framework, developed by the organization and steering committees of COMPSAC 2015, deployed and maintained by a valuable group of volunteers. We are grateful for their continuous assistance. We look forward to having fruitful discussions with researchers from different disciplines in academia and industry, as well as practitioners, who share interests in countermeasures against cyber attacks.
