7th International Workshop on
Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2012)
Radisson Blu Lillehammer Hotel
Turisthotellveien 6, 2609 Lillehammer, Norway
September 17-18, 2012
Scope of the 7th Conference
Critical key sectors of modern economies depend highly on Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption, disturbance or loss
of information flowing through and processed by ICT infrastructures
can, as well as incidents in the sector infrastructure itself, lead to
various damages such as high economical, material, or ecological
impact, loss of vital societal functions and social well-being of
people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives. As a
consequence the security, reliability and resilience of these
infrastructures are critical for the society. The topic of Critical
(Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major
objective for governments, companies and the research community of the
major industrial countries worldwide.
The CRITIS'12 conference is the well-established continuation of the
series and aims to explore the new challenges posed by C(I)IP bringing
together researchers and professionals from academia, industry and
governmental agencies interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP.
Especially promoted by CRITIS'12 are multi-disciplinary approaches
within the scientific communities at national, European and global
level.
Authors are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting
research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results,
surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant
advances in C(I)IP. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
• Resilient (Information) Infrastructures
• Resilience and Stability
• Infrastructures Survivability
• Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems
• All Aspects in respect to Interaction of multiple CI.
• Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures
• Cyber Threats and Vulnerabilities
• SCADA Security
• Cyber Attacks and Cyber Defence of Critical Information(-based)
Infrastructures
• Cyber Security of Smart Grids
• Cyber Security, Dependability and Cloud Computing
• Critical (Information-based) Infrastructures Exercises & Contingency Plans
• Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I
• Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP
• Infrastructure and CII dependencies Modelling, Simulation, Analysis
and Validation
• C(I)I Network and Organisational Vulnerability Analysis
• C(I)I threat and Attack Modelling
• Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation
• Public – Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience
• C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels
• C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels
Instructions for Paper Submission
All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at
least three reviewers. Papers should be no longer than 12 pages in
English, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. As in
previous years, it is planned that post-proceedings are 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
Conference and present the paper. Paper submission will be done via
EasyChair. To submit a paper, please follow the specific instructions
posted on the Conference website
(http://critis12.hig.no/call-for-papers/). The submitted paper (in PDF
or PostScript format) should follow the respective template offered by
Springer (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The paper
must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords.
However, the submission should be anonymised and all author names,
affiliations, acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references
should be eliminated.
Extended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for
CRITIS'12, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in
a special issue of the International Journal of Critical
Infrastructures (Inderscience).
