Cyberpatterns 2012 - The First International Workshop on Cyber Patterns: Unifying Design Patterns with Security, Attack and Forensic Patterns

There is a growing international community interested in software design patterns as representations of solutions to recurring design problems. There is significant work and interest in the security field on classifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses. This includes a substantial existing catalogue of attack patterns and a growing body of knowledge of security patterns. The emergence in digital forensics of forensic patterns could also be significant.
The aim of this workshop is to explore commonalities between the notion of patterns in these fields and to express them in a unified framework. Such a framework for the pattern abstraction would provide ways to:
* describe and reason about patterns across domains
* leverage insights gained from different domains
* manage complexity
* lay a precise foundation for the development of tools.
The workshop will include space for structured discussion of the opportunities and difficulties such a framework poses and for formulating an initial research road-map.
