Abstract

The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of IT security & privacy.Since 2005, ARES serves as an important platform to exchange, discuss and transfer knowledge and is hosted every year in another European city. The 2021 Conference is the 16th edition of ARES and will be held virtually from August 17-20, 2021, organized by SBA Research. Selected papers that are accepted by and presented at the ARES Conference will be published, after further revision, in special issues of international journals (e.g. Springer EURASIP Journal on Information Security). The acceptance rate of the ARES 2020 conference is 21.26% (full papers only).
