The 5th International Conference on Information Security Practice and Expe- ence (ISPEC 2009) was held in Xi'an, China, April 13-15, 2009. The ISPEC conference series is an established forum that brings together - searchers and practitioners to provide a con?uence of new information security technologies, including their applications and their integration with IT systems in various vertical sectors. In previous years, ISPEC has taken place in Sin- pore (2005), Hangzhou, China (2006), Hong Kong, China (2007), and Sydney, Australia (2008). For all sessions, as this one, the conference proceedings were published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. In total, 147 papers from 26 countries were submitted to ISPEC 2009, and 34 were ?nally selected for inclusion in the proceedings (acceptance rate 23%). The accepted papers cover multiple topics of information security and applied cryptography. Each submission was anonymously reviewed by at least three - viewers. We are grateful to the Program Committee, which was composed of more than 40 well-known security experts from 15 countries; we heartily thank them as well as all external reviewers for their time and valued contributions to the tough and time-consuming reviewing process. Inadditiontothe regularpaperpresentations,the programalsofeaturedfour invited talks by Yupu Hu, from Xidian University, China; Youki Kadobayashi, from Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan; Mark Ryan, from the University of Birmingham, UK; and Gene Tsudik, from the University of C- ifornia at Irvine, USA.

The ?rst ProvSec was held in Wollongong, Australia, in 2007. This year, the conference received 79 papers and the program committee selected 25 papers during eight weeks' thorough reviewing process. The authors ofthe selected papersarefrom12 di?erentcountries: Australia, Belgium, China, Estonia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, Singapore, the UK, and the USA. We are grateful to the members of the program committee for their many hours of valuable time and hard work. In addition to the regular conference program, the conference hosted two invited talks: - Kenny Paterson (University of London, Royal Holloway): Non-interactive Key Distribution and Identity-Based Encryption: A Historical Perspective - PhillipRogaway(University ofCalifornia, Davis): BlockcipherModes of- eration: Culture and Counter-Culture in Modern Cryptography. The conference was also one of the special events for the 50th anniversary of the Department of Computer Science at SJTU.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International Information - curity Conference (ISC 2005), which took place in Singapore, from 20th to 23rd September 2005. ISC 2005 brought together individuals from academia and - dustry involvedin manyresearchdisciplines of information security to foster the exchange of ideas. During recent years this conference has tried to place special emphasis on the practical aspects of information security, and since it passed from being an international workshop to being an international conference in 2001, it has become one of the most relevant forums at which researchers meet and discuss emerging security challenges and solutions. Advised by the ISC Steering Committee, and in order to provide students with more opportunities for publication, ISC 2005 accepted extra student papers - sides the regular papers. The initiative was very well accepted by the young sector of the scienti?c community, and we hope that the success of this idea will remainfornextISCevents. AnotherimportantfactorforthesuccessofISC2005 was that selected papers in the proceedings will be invited for submission to a special issue of the InternationalJournalof InformationSecurity. The result was an incredible response to the call for papers; we received 271 submissions, the highest since ISC events started. It goes without saying that the paper selection process was more competitive and di?cult than ever before - only 33 regular papers were accepted, plus 5 student papers for a special student session.

The inaugural Information Security Practice and Experience Conference (ISPEC) was held on April 11-14, 2005, in Singapore. As applications of information security technologies become pervasive, - sues pertaining to their deployment and operation are becoming increasingly important. ISPEC is intended to be an annual conference that brings together researchers and practitioners to provide a con?uence of new information se- rity technologies, their applications and their integration with IT systems in various vertical sectors. The Program Committee consisted of leading experts in the areas of information security, information systems, and domain experts in applications of IT in vertical business segments. The topics of the conference covered security applications and case studies, access control, network security, data security, secure architectures, and cryp- graphic techniques. Emphasis was placed on the application of security research to meet practical user requirements, both in the paper selection process and in the invited speeches. Acceptance into the conference proceedings was very competitive. The Call for Papers attracted more than 120 submissions, out of which the Program Committee selected only 35 papers for inclusion in the proceedings.

PKC2004wasthe7thInternationalWorkshoponPracticeandTheoryinPublic Key Cryptography and was sponsored by IACR, the International Association for Cryptologic Research (www. iacr. org). This year the workshop was organized 2 in cooperation with the Institute for Infocomm Research (I R), Singapore. There were 106 paper submissions from 19 countries to PKC 2004. That is the highest submission number in PKC history. Due to the large number of submissionsandthehighqualityofthe submittedpapers, notallthepapersthat contained new ideas were accepted. Of the 106 submissions, 32 were selected for the proceedings. Each paper was sent to at least 3 members of the Program Committee for comments. The revised versions of the accepted papers were not checked for correctness of their scienti?c aspects and the authors bear the full responsibility for the contents of their papers. Some authors will write ?nal versions of their papers for publication in refereed journals. I am very grateful to the members of the Program Committee for their hard work in the di?cult task of selecting fewer than 1 in 3 of the submitted papers, as well as the following external referees who helped the Program Committee: Nuttapong Attrapadung, RobertoMariaAvanzi, GildasAvoine, JoonsangBaek, Qingjun Cai, Jae Choon Cha, Chien-Ning Chen, Liqun Chen, Xiaofeng Chen, Koji Chida, Nicolas T.

The emerging biotechnologies have significantly advanced the study of biological mechanisms. However, biological data usually contain a great amount of missing information, e.g. missing features, missing labels or missing samples, which greatly limits the extensive usage of the data. In this book, we introduce different types of biological data missing scenarios and propose machine learning models to improve the data analysis, including deep recurrent neural network recovery for feature missings, robust information theoretic learning for label missings and structure-aware rebalancing for minor sample missings. Models in the book cover the fields of imbalance learning, deep learning, recurrent neural network and statistical inference, providing a wide range of references of the integration between artificial intelligence and biology. With simulated and biological datasets, we apply approaches to a variety of biological tasks, including single-cell characterization, genome-wide association studies, medical image segmentations, and quantify the performances in a number of successful metrics.The outline of this book is as follows. In Chapter 2, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing data features; in Chapter 3, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing labels; in Chapter 4, we introduce the statistical recovery of missing data sample information; finally, in Chapter 5, we summarize the full text and outlook future directions. This book can be used as references for researchers in computational biology, bioinformatics and biostatistics. Readers are expected to have basic knowledge of statistics and machine learning.
