2nd International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS'07) October 3-5, 2007 Benalmadena-Costa, Malaga, Spain

CRITIS'07, co-sponsored by IFIP WG 11.10 on Critical Infrastructures Protection, IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance, and Joint Research Center Ispra of the European Commission, wants to bring together researchers and professionals from universities, private companies and Public Administrations interested or involved in all security-related heterogeneous aspects of Critical Information Infrastructures.

The program of the event will include invited talks by the following distinguished speakers:

Additionally, the program will include the following panel: "Resilient Critical Information Infrastructures: a myth or a realistictarget?" chaired by Jacques Bus.

We invite research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D projects results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant security advances in the following (non-exclusive) areas of Critical Information Infrastructures for which we plan to have sessions:

- Code of Practice and Metrics

- Communication Risk & Assurance

- Early Warning Systems

- Economics on CIP

- R&D Agenda

- SCADA and Embedded Security
