Cyberspace technology has already penetrated various areas such as science, economy, politics as well as defense and military. Cyberspace has now become one of the most important areas which draws attention from both academics, professionals, and industrial communities. With the emergence of new technologies and applications in cyberspace, cyberspace security has been also facing great challenges. On the one hand, new technologies emerged with the prevalence of data science and artificial intelligence can largely advance and exceed the traditional security technologies, which largely improve the security defense capability of cyberspace. On the other hand, the malicious usage of new technologies, or exploiting the defects in new technologies and new applications have further exacerbated the security threat of cyberspace. To better handle the security risks caused by the new technologies and new applications and develop effective approaches and techniques for defending such potential security concerns, the network simulation technology can realize the security evaluation of these technologies by simulating in a controllable network environment, which has significant research value and great social benefit.

The purpose of the conference is to bring together world-class researchers, practitioner and engineers in the theoretical and practical areas related to network simulation and security evaluation（网络仿真与安全评测） to share their latest research results and discuss about the future development directions.

Topics in the area of artificial intelligence, network science, simulation and system security in general, in particular those related to network simulation and evaluation, include but not limited to:

• Network intrusion detection technologies
• Network attack and defense technologies
• Security evaluation of networked systems
• Artificial Intelligence-based network attack detection technologies
• The application and security of big data, cloud computing, 5G network
• Complex system simulation
• Simulation modeling technology
• Network virtualization
• System and network simulation application
• Internet simulation
• Vehicle connected network simulation
• IoT simulation
• Industrial control system and Internet simulation
• 5G network simulation
• Application system simulation
• Standard model and index system of security evaluation
• Automatic scheme generation and execution technology of security evaluation
• Security evaluation technology for key infrastructures (finance, transportation, energy, smart city, etc.)
• Security evaluation technology for typical application scenarios (Industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, Internet of Things, etc.)

We hope this conference will facilitate improving the cyberspace security capabilities and further promote cyberspace technology collaborations in various application domains.
