CALL FOR PAPERS S4CIP 2017
2nd International Workshop on Safety & Security aSSurance for Critical 
Infrastructures Protection
Paris, France - 29th April 2017

Co-located with IEEE EuroS&P: 2nd European Symposium on Security and 
Privacy (April 26-28, 2017)
Web: http://www.dimat.unina2.it/marrone/s4cip17.html
*********************************************************

Modern society heavily relies on large, heterogeneous and complex 
software-intensive systems to support all kinds of daily activities. 
Services such as urban transportation, logistics, health-care, data 
communication, railway, aerospace, and power distribution, to name a 
few, are becoming more and more dependent on the availability of such 
infrastructures. Any discontinuity of service may lead to serious 
problems, from severe financial losses to fatalities or injuries; the 
causes have different natures, either human errors, unexpected acts of 
nature, or intentional attacks like sabotage. Safety and security (S&S) 
assessments in critical infrastructures measure how these disruptions 
are handled and what is the impact suffered by the critical 
infrastructure under stress. These assessments are normally performed 
using analytical or simulation-based techniques often addressing one 
single specific aspect at a time rather than studying these 
infrastructures in a holistic manner.

# Workshop topics
==================

This workshop aims at providing a forum for people from academia and 
industry to communicate their latest results on theoretical advances, 
industrial case studies, practical scenarios, and lessons learned in the 
assurance of S&S for critical infrastructures. Since the special 
interest on S&S assurance, a special focus will be put on model-based 
approaches; to the joint modelling and analysis of both cyber and 
physical aspects of critical infrastructures; and to the definition of 
unifying modelling and analysis methodologies. Research papers focused 
on safety or security assurance only are also welcome.

The workshop is technically sponsored by the Technical Committee on 
Homeland Security of IEEE SMC (Systems, Man & Cybernetics) society.

Topics of interests are, but not limited to:

* Methods and Methodologies: Vulnerability and Risk Assessment; 
Model-Based Penetration Testing; Security Metrics Definition and 
Evaluation; RAMSS Analysis; Crisis and Emergency Management; Unifying 
Modelling Methodologies for Cyber and Physical Security; Resilience 
Engineering.
* Modelling: Stochastic Modeling; Formal Methods; Domain Specific 
Languages and Model-Driven Engineering; Multi-Level Hierarchical 
Modeling; Multi-Paradigm Modeling.
* Analysis: Quantitative & Qualitative Evaluation; Interconnections 
Among Non-Functional Aspects (e.g., Reliability vs. Safety, Security vs. 
Performance); Multiformal and Multisolution Processes; Resilience Analysis.
* Domains: Cyber-Physical Systems; Critical Infrastructure Protection; 
SCADA and Control Systems Security; Automotive; Homeland Security; 
Transportation, Manufacturing, Energy, Health and Banking Applications; 
Computer Networks and Cloud Infrastructures.


# Important Dates
==================

  - Abstract Submission: December 9, 2016
  - Paper submission deadline: December 12, 2016
  - Notification to authors: January 18, 2017
  - Camera-ready papers: February 8, 2017


# Paper Submission
==================

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three members of Program Committee 
(or their sub-reviewers) and selection of accepted papers will be based 
on relevance, quality and originality.

Accepted papers will be published in a special IEEE proceedings for 
"IEEE EuroS&P Workshops".  At least one of the (co)author(s) of each 
accepted paper is required to register and attend the conference to 
present the work.
PDF versions of papers should be submitted through EasyChair submission 
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=s4cip17).

After the conference, extended versions of selected contributions will 
be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the International 
Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems 
(http://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijccbs). Those papers will 
undergo at least another review round.


# Page Limit and Formatting
==================

Papers must not exceed 6 pages total (including the references and 
appendices). Papers must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper. 
The text must be formatted in a two-column layout, with columns no more 
than 9.5 in. tall and 3.5 in. wide. The text must be in Times font, 
10-point or larger, with 11-point or larger line spacing. Authors are 
strongly encouraged to use the IEEE conference proceedings templates 
(available at 
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/author_templates.html). 
LaTeX submissions should use IEEEtran.cls version 1.8b, dated 
2015/08/26, in Compsoc Conference Mode:

\documentclass[compsoc, conference, letterpaper, 10pt, times]{IEEEtran}

Failure to adhere to the page limit and formatting requirements can be 
grounds for rejection.
