RISI 2012 - International Workshop on Resilience and IT-Risk in Social Infrastructures (RISI)

Description

Information and communication infrastructure (IT) is one primary part of the social infrastructure and therefore one of the central objects of resilience research. The provision and processing of real-time information for communication, coordination, and cooperation is a vital role and IT still has to provide its services, e.g., to rescue organizations and for catastrophe management, when a threat becomes reality.

Since resilience research is still in its infancy, the main objective of the RISI workshop is to identify research problems and to discuss future research initiatives regarding IT support for "Resilience in Social Infrastructures". We encourage academic researchers and industry experts to present and discuss novel ideas as well as ongoing work. Contributions addressing promising approaches, methods and tools supporting resistance against attacks and threats (i.e., prevent and protect) as well as to adapt social infrastructures to deal with threats and attacks (i.e., respond and recover) are invited.
