Scope of the 7th Conference

Critical key sectors of modern economies depend highly on Information and C=
ommunication Technologies (ICT). Disruption, disturbance or loss of informa=
tion flowing through and processed by ICT infrastructures can, as well as i=
ncidents in the sector infrastructure itself, lead to various damages such =
as high economical, material, or ecological impact, loss of vital societal =
functions and social well-being of people, and in the most unfortunate case=
s loss of human lives. As a consequence the security, reliability and resil=
ience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. The topic of C=
ritical (Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a maj=
or objective for governments, companies and the research community of the m=
ajor industrial countries worldwide.=20

The CRITIS=9212 conference is the well-established continuation of the seri=
es and aims to explore the new challenges posed by C(I)IP bringing together=
 researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental age=
ncies interested in all different aspects of C(I)IP. Especially promoted by=
 CRITIS=9212 are multi-disciplinary approaches within the scientific commun=
ities at national, European and global level.=20

Authors are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting researc=
h papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works an=
d industrial experiences describing significant advances in C(I)IP. Topics =
of interest include, but are not limited to:

Instructions for Paper Submission

All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least th=
ree reviewers. Papers should be no longer than 12 pages in English, includi=
ng bibliography and well-marked appendices. As in previous years, it is pla=
nned that post-proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture =
Notes in Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear at the time o=
f the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to=
 register with the Conference and present the paper. Paper submission will =
be done via EasyChair. To submit a paper, please follow the specific instru=
ctions posted on the Conference website (http://critis12.hig.no/call-for-pa=
pers/). The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript format) should follow the=
 respective template offered by Springer (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/=
authors.html). The paper must start with a title, a short abstract, and a l=
ist of keywords. However, the submission should be anonymised and all autho=
r names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references s=
hould be eliminated.
Extended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for CRITIS=
=9212, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in a specia=
l issue of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (Inderscie=
nce).
