Fifth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Dartmouth College
Hanover, New Hampshire, USA
March 23?25, 2011
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. Following the success of the first four conferences, the Fifth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection will again provide a forum for presenting original, unpublished research results and innovative ideas related to all aspects of critical infrastructure protection.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. 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 seventy participants to facilitate interactions among researchers and intense discussions of research and implementation issues.
A selection of papers from the conference will be published in an edited volume ? the fifth in the series entitled Critical Infrastructure Protection (Springer) ? in the fall of 2011. Revised and/or extended versions of outstanding papers from the conference will be published in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier).
Papers are solicited in all areas of critical infrastructure protection. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Infrastructure vulnerabilities, threats and risks
? Security challenges, solutions and implementation issues
? Infrastructure sector interdependencies and security implications
? Risk analysis and risk assessment methodologies
? Modeling and simulation of critical infrastructures
? Legal, economic and policy issues related to critical infrastructure protection
? Secure information sharing
? Infrastructure protection case studies
? Distributed control systems/SCADA security
? Telecommunications network security
