[Tccc] CRITIS 2010 Call for Papers - Athens - Greece

CALL FOR PAPERS

*********************************************************************
Fifth International Workshop on Critical Information
Infrastructure Security (CRITIS 2010)

September 23-24, 2010 --- Athens, Greece
http://www.critis.net/2010
*********************************************************************

Key sectors of modern economies depend highly on ICT. The information
flowing through the resulting technological super-infrastructure as well as
the information being processed by the complex computing systems that
underpin these are critical as their disruption, disturbance or loss can
lead to high economical, material and, sometimes, human loss. As a
consequence, the security and dependability of this infrastructure becomes
critical and its protection a major objective for governments, companies
and the research community.

Now in its fifth edition, CRITIS will again bring together researchers and
professionals from academia, industry, and government interested or
involved in all security-related heterogeneous aspects of Critical
Information Infrastructures. We invite research papers, work-in-progress
reports, R&D projects results, surveying works and industrial experiences
describing significant security advances including but not limited to the
following areas:

- Infrastructure Interdependencies - Incident Response
- Early Warning Systems - Dependable Infrastructure
Communications
- Embedded Technologies Security - Security Modeling and Simulation
- Network Survivability - Trust Models in Critical Scenarios
- Continuity of Services - Threat Analysis
- Information Assurance - National and Cross Border Activities
- Internet-Based Remote Control - Forensic Techniques
- Policy Management - Resilient Software
- Secure Information Sharing - Security Logistics
- Security Risks - Vulnerability Assessment


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least
three reviewers. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that was
published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted in
parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Papers
should be up to 12 pages in English, including bibliography and well-marked
appendices. Post-proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear at
the time of the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is
required to register with the Workshop and present the paper.

The CRITIS 2010 proceedings will again be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. To submit a paper, please follow the
specific instructions posted on the workshop website
(http://www.critis.net/2010/). The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript
format), which should follow the template indicated by Springer
(http:www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), must start with a title, a
short abstract, and a list of keywords. However, it should be anonymised
with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, nor obvious
references.

Inclusion in the post-proceedings volume requires at least one author for
each paper to present in person so as to ensure the interactive workshop
character.
