SAFECOMP 2011 – 30th International Conference on Computer Safety,Reliability and SecurityNaples, Italy, September 19-21, 2011
Key theme 2011: safety and security of computer-based systems and infrastructures: from risk assessment to threat mitigation.
SAFECOMP is an annual event covering the state-of-the-art, experience and new trends in the areas of safety, security, and reliability of critical computer applications. SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and experiences on emerging methods, approaches, and practical solutions. It is a one-stream conference without parallel sessions, allowing easy networking.
ERCIM and the ERCIM Working Group on Dependable Embedded Software-Intensive Systems are scientific co-sponsor of SAFECOMP 2011 and plan to organise again a Workshop on “Dependable Embedded Systems” as at the last SAFECOMPs (workshop Chairs: Erwin Schoitsch, and Amund Skavhaug).
More information: www.safecomp2011.unina.it
Scope of the conference
Papers are invited in application and industrial sectors, as well as research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- •
Application and industrial sectors. Control, networking and telecommunication, railways, robotics and autonomous systems in general, medical devices and systems, e-health, off-shore technology, ship building, power systems, critical infrastructures, security of safety-critical systems, safety guidelines and standards, education and training. Especially, papers on industrial experience and practice are encouraged.
- •
Research areas. Safety and security risk assessment, design for dependability, diversity, fault tolerance, verification and validation, testing, qualification and certification, modelling and simulation, human factors, dependability analysis, networked (distributed) embedded systems, safety-critical computer systems, resilient (robust) systems, physical and cyber threats, vulnerability analysis, dependency and interdependency modelling and metrication, and cascading effects.
