Wed, September 06, 2006 — Call For Papers

The IFIP Working Group 11.10 on Critical Infrastructure Protection is an active international community of researchers, infrastructure operators and policy-makers dedicated to applying scientific principles, engineering techniques and public policy to address current and future problems in information infrastructure protection. The First Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection will provide a forum for presenting original, unpublished research results and innovative ideas related to all aspects of critical infrastructure protection. Papers and panel proposals are solicited.

Dartmouth College
Hanover, New Hampshire, USA
March 19-21, 2007

Submissions will be refereed by members of Working Group 11.10 and other internationally-recognized experts in critical infrastructure protection. Papers and panel submissions will be selected based on their technical merit and relevance to IFIP WG 11.10. The conference will be limited to sixty participants to facilitate interactions between researchers and intense discussions of research and implementation issues. A selection of papers from the conference will be published in an edited volume – the first in a new series entitled Critical Infrastructure Protection: Issues and Solutions (Springer) in the fall of 2007. Revised and/or extended versions of outstanding papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of an international journal.

Papers are solicited in all areas of critical infrastructure protection. Areas of special interest include, but are not limited to:
   • Infrastructure vulnerabilities, threats and risks
   • Security challenges, solutions and implementation issues
   • Infrastructure sector interdependencies and security implications
   • Infrastructure protection case studies
   • Legal, ethical, economic and policy issues related to critical infrastructure protection
