Scope
=================

Critical infrastructures (CIs) are at the hearth of any advanced civilized country. This workshop aims at providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results, experiences, and products in the area of reliable, dependable and secure computing for critical systems protection from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Its ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating reliable and secure solutions for the next generation critical infrastructures. Critical Infrastructures present several challenges in the fields of distributed systems, dependability and security methods and approaches crucial for improving trustworthiness on ICT facilities. The workshop aims at presenting the advancement on the state of art in these fields and spreading their adoption in several scenarios involving main infrastructures for modern society.

Topics of interest are (but not limited to):
- Model-based and experimental assessment of safety, reliability and security
- Security & Privacy
- Quantitative analysis of dependability and security metrics
- Risk Assessment and Management
- Fault tolerant and Dependable Distributed Algorithm
- Threat Analysis
- Monitoring systems
- Adaptive solutions for secure and safe systems
- Self-* solutions

Domains of application are (but not limited to):

- Critical infrastructure, Smart Grid, and SCADA systems
- Medical device and healthcare
- Telecommunication and networks
- Railways, automotive, aerospace, and avionics
- Defence, cyber intelligence
