Scope of the 7th Conference 

Critical key sectors of modern economies
depend highly on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
Disruption, disturbance or loss of information flowing through and
processed by ICT infrastructures can, as well as incidents 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 cases loss of human
lives. As a consequence the security, reliability and resilience of these
infrastructures are critical for the society. The topic of Critical
(Information) Infrastructure Protection (C(I)IP) is therefore a major
objective for governments, companies and the research community of the
major industrial countries worldwide.  

The CRITIS'12 conference is the
well-established continuation of the series and aims to explore the new
challenges posed by C(I)IP bringing together researchers and professionals
from academia, industry and governmental agencies interested in all
different aspects of C(I)IP. Especially promoted by CRITIS'12 are
multi-disciplinary approaches within the scientific communities at
national, European and global level.  

Authors are solicited to contribute
to the conference by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports,

Instructions for Paper Submission 

All submissions will be
subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers. Papers
should be no longer than 12 pages in English, including bibliography and
well-marked appendices. As in previous years, it is planned that
post-proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of 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
instructions posted on the Conference website
(http://critis12.hig.no/call-for-papers/). 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 list of keywords. However, the
submission should be anonymised and all author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, and obvious traceable references should be eliminated.

Extended and fully revised versions of the best papers accepted for
CRITIS'12, after a further peer-reviewed process, will be published in a
special issue of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures
(Inderscience).
