Paper Submission Deadline Approaching: 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013)
by Cristina Alcaraz 22 May '13

22 May '13

** Apologies for multiple copies ** C a l l F o r P a p e r s 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Critical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The 8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at the conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern societies increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastructures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society, the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, livestock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and resilience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objective for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the worldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-established tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CIIP). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and governments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied research organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of Resilience of Smart Cities, a topic that will be highlighted by thought provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The second day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the academic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster collaboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and to boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus will be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplinary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the field of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scientific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic category (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which topic category they address. Researchers 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. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastructure operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multidisciplinary research teams. Important Dates Extended deadline for submission of papers: June 1, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready papers: August 16, 2013 The CRITIS 2013 Scientific Committee invites papers for the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart Cities Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)I Stakeholders Topics of interest for category 2 include: C(I)IP requirements for Resilient Smart Cities C(I)IP requirements posed as future (near, mid and long term) challenges, e.g. mobility and smart grids Requirements for Resilient (Information) Infrastructures C(I)I Survivability requirements The use of clouds for C(I)I operations Economics, Investments and Incentives of C(I)IP C(I)I Exercises & Contingency Plans Trust Models in Normal Situations and During Escalation C(I)IP Polices at National and Cross-border levels C(I)IP R&D Agenda at National and International levels Stakeholders include Industry, CI operators, government agencies, EU Directorates) and integrated solution directions by CIP/CIIP-related R&D communities and disciplines. Papers submitted for topic categories 1 and 2 that do not fit the focus of the category, may be reassigned by the Scientific Committee to topic categories 3 or 4. Topic category 3: Advances in C(I)IP and Topic category 4: YOUNG CRITIS Topics of interest for categories 3 and 4 include all topics mentioned under topic category 2 as well as topics like: Resilient C(I)I and C(I)I Survivability Resilience of interacting C(I)I Cyber Defence of C(I)I Self-healing, Self-protection, and Self-management Architectures C(I)I dependency Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Validation Protection of Complex Cyber - Physical Systems Cyber security related threats & vulnerabilities, modeling and analysis Cyber Security of Smart Grids, Process Control and SCADA Advanced Forensic Methodologies for C(I)I Public - Private Partnership for C(I)I Resilience Instructions for Paper Submission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Mitglieder-info] CfP: Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'13) at ICNP-2013 Datum: Tue, 21 May 2013 15:57:03 +0000 Von: Dirk Kutscher <Dirk.Kutscher(a)neclab.eu> An: mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de <mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de> [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this] =========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------- Capacity Sharing Workshop (CSWS'13) ----------------------------------- In conjunction with ICNP'13, 7-11 October, Goettingen, Germany. Internet data traffic continues to grow rapidly. The challenge that operators face, especially in the mobile Internet, is to support more subscribers with higher bandwidth demands and a large variety of services with different requirements. Therefore, operators need to seek for new technologies to efficiently utilize the available network resources, in particular, this concerns resource allocation and flow management. At the same time, network virtualization in data centers and carrier networks enables a more flexible and efficient resource management - but creates new challenges for sharing capacity among tenants and users of those networks, e.g, scaling up network resources transparently based on the congestion level. In wireless networks, capacity sharing is particularly relevant due to the inherently limited resources, which render a simple "throwing bandwidth at the problem" solution impossible. This change in network operation and the strong growth and continual changes in the traffic characteristics and usage behavior raises questions on how to share limited capacity resources fairly and more efficiently. While efficiency is most important when resources are spare, fairness need to be evaluated based on the different quality requirements of the various Internet services that we have today. While the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, was mostly engineered to provide a low loss service, low-latency services are not well supported today. In addition, there is regulation that can impose additional requirements in some markets, such as availability requirements, network neutrality etc. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of transport protocols, system designers of data centers, fixed and mobile access networks, and their applications to advance the state of research on capacity sharing. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We solicit contributions on the state-of-the-art, results of ongoing research, open issues, trends and new ideas. We want to encourage researchers to consider integrated consideration of the problem space over all layers. Topics ------ Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to * Context-aware resource allocation and cross-layer adaptation * Network protocols to exchange information on the network state * Support low-latency services and Transport layer solutions * Possible interactions with cellular/fixed access networks * Application-layer adaption especially for mobile and interactive services * Network Function Virtualization and SDN to implement capacity sharing * QoE and fairness definitions, metrics and evaluation * Data traffic characteristics in fixed and mobile Internet * Economic aspects on capacity sharing and business models * Related standardization activities, projects and regulatory constraints Submission ---------- Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in IEEE Computer Society format. Please see the workshop webpage for further submission guidelines: http://icnp13.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/csws13/ Important Dates ---------------- Paper submission deadline: June 21, 2013 Acceptance notification: August 2, 2013 Camera-ready paper: August 9, 2013 Workshop date: October, 2013 (to be announced) Workshop Co-Chairs ------------------ Mirja Kühlewind, IKR University of Stuttgart, Germany Dirk Kutscher, NEC Europe Labs Heidelberg, Germany _______________________________________________ Mitglieder-info mailing list Mitglieder-info(a)kuvs.de http://mail-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/mitglieder-info
