ecurity (CRITIS 2013) Amsterdam, The Netherlands September 16-18, 2013 http=
://www.critis2013.nl The annually held CRITIS conference is devoted to Crit=
ical (Information) Infrastructure security, protection and resilience. The =
8th edition will be held from 16-18 September 2013 in Amsterdam, The Nether=
lands. The CRITIS 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers and =
critical infrastructure stakeholders who wish to present their papers at th=
e conference. More information can be found at: www.critis2013.nl. Modern s=
ocieties increasingly depend on critical infrastructures. Those themselves =
increasingly depend on and are entangled with Information and Communication=
 Technologies (ICT). Disruption or loss of (ICT-based) critical infrastruct=
ures may result in serious consequences for the functioning of the society,=
 the economy, the functioning of governments, the ecology and social well-b=
eing of people, and in the most unfortunate cases loss of human lives, live=
stock and other animals. As a consequence, the security, reliability and re=
silience of these infrastructures are critical for the society. Critical (I=
nformation) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major objecti=
ve for governments, companies, operators of these infrastructures and the w=
orldwide research community. CRITIS 2013 is set to continue a well-establis=
hed tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenge=
s for the protection of critical information-based infrastructures (CIP/CII=
P). CRITIS brings together stakeholders from industry, operators and govern=
ments as well as researchers and professionals from academia, applied resea=
rch organisations and industry interested in all different aspects of C(I)I=
P. One focus of CRITIS 2013 is on the new challenges of cyber resilience of=
 smart cities and smart mobility, a topic that will be highlighted by thoug=
ht provoking and visionary keynote speeches and by conference papers. The s=
econd day of CRITIS 2013 will be a meeting place between the diverse set of=
 C(I)IP stakeholders with their short, medium and long term needs and the a=
cademic and applied research communities. CRITIS2013 intends to foster coll=
aboration, to find common, collaborative approaches towards solutions and t=
o boost R&D to address the identified needs. On the third day, the focus wi=
ll be on the (academic) advances in C(I)IP R&D. A (virtual) multi-disciplin=
ary community of new talented PhD students and junior researchers in the fi=
eld of C(I)IP will be build: YOUNG CRITIS. Young CRITIS appeals to the scie=
ntific C(I)IP communities at national, European and global level. Given the=
 focus areas above, the programme committee will select papers per topic ca=
tegory (or track) mentioned below. Therefore, authors need to state which t=
opic category they address. Researchers are solicited to contribute to the =
conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D pro=
ject results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing signifi=
cant advances in C(I)IP. Stakeholders from governments, Critical Infrastruc=
ture operators, and industry are encouraged to submit papers which describe=
 their current and future challenges to be engaged by researchers and multi=
disciplinary research teams. Important Dates Deadline for submission of pap=
ers: May 10, 2013 Notification to authors: June 30, 2013 Camera-ready paper=

the following four topic categories: Topic category 1: Resilience of Smart =
Cities and Smart Mobility Topic category 2: Requirements for C(I)IP by C(I)=

mission All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at =
least three reviewers. Papers should be in English and no longer than 12 pa=
ges, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. As in previous year=
s, it is planned that post-proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in =
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear a=
t the time of the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is=
 required to register with the Workshop and present the paper. Paper submis=
sion will be done via EasyChair. The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript =
format) should follow the respective template offered by Springer. The pape=
r must start with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. Howeve=
r, the submission should be anonymised and all author names, affiliations, =
acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references should be eliminated. Ex=
tended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for CRITIS 20=
13, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in a special i=
