*SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES*

A Special Session on Cyber and SCADA Security is being organized as part of
the 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems
(CTS 2010) to be held May 17-21, 2010, at Westin Lombard Yorktown Center,
Chicago, Illinois, USA. This special session is proposed to bring together
people from industry, utilities, defense, government and academia who are
working in the field of Cyber and SCADA security. Cyber security includes
network and server protection from unauthorized and malicious access. SCADA
security includes protection of compromised SCADA control units or
industrial equipment in malfunctioning, production, power generation &
distribution, fabrication, refining, public and private infrastructure
institutions, and large communication systems. The area of industrial and
infrastructure security is very important and various governments have
mandated the compliance by all institutions and services to many security
regulations.

This special session covers all hardware, software and applications issues
that are involved in providing a reliable and robust security environments
to allow collaborative tools and services to continue using the IT
infrastructure without the threat of intrusion and unauthorized
modifications. We invite all types of original contributions on this
emerging area of interest. Authors of selected papers from this session
will be invited to contribute to the cyber security handbook being edited by
the session chairs, to be published by IGI Global Publishers.

*Topics of Interest include (but not limited to):*

· SCADA Security Issues, Vulnerabilities and Threats to Modern SCADA
Systems,

· SCADA Network Security, SCADA Wireless Systems Security

- Authorization, Authentication and Access Control in the Design,
Deployment and Operation of SCADA Networks

· Access Lists, User Based Security, Role Based Security in SCADA Systems
