ABOUT SAFECOMP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since it was established in 1979 by the European Workshop on Industrial
Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Safety, Reliability and Security
(EWICS TC7), SAFECOMP has contributed to the progress in high integrity
applications of information technologies.
SAFECOMP is an annual event organised as a one-stream programme over two
and a half days covering the state of the art, experience and new trends
in the areas of safety, security and reliability of critical IT systems
and applications. It provides a platform for knowledge and technology
transfer for researchers, industry (suppliers, operators, users), regulators
and certifiers of such systems. The conference will be preceded by a day of
tutorials.
SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and experiences on
emerging methods and approaches and practical solutions across the borders
of different disciplines. Information on previous SAFECOMP editions can be
found at http://www.safecomp.org
SCOPE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFECOMP focuses on state-of-the-art and innovative approaches to risk
assessment
and management from the safety, security and reliability viewpoints. The scope
includes IT systems and infrastructures considered critical within their present
or emerging contexts. All aspects of dependability and survivability of critical
computer-based systems and infrastructures are included. In particular, SAFECOMP
emphasises multidisciplinary approaches to deal with the nature of complex
critical
IT systems and applications.
Examples of topics include:
Application and industrial sectors:
* Critical Systems and Infrastructures
* Grid and Web Services
* Aerospace and Avionics
* Automotive
* Banking and E-commerce
* Industrial Process Control
* e-Health
* Networking and Telecommunications
* Open Source Software
* Energy Distribution
* Railways
* Robotics
* Integrated Management of Borders
* Safety and Security Guidelines and Certification
* Safety and Security Standards
Research areas:
* Safety and Security Risk Assessment
* Trust and Assurance Cases
* Commercial-Off-The-Shelf
* Large Scale Authentication and Identity Management
(including Smart Cards, Biometrics and RFIDs)
* Dependability Analysis and Modelling
* Dependability Benchmarking
* Design for Dependability
* Diversity
* Dependability Aspects of Evolution and Maintenance
* Formal Methods
* Human Factors
* Web-based Systems
* System Modelling and Engineering
* Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches for Dependability
* Dependable Structures and Design Patterns
* System of Systems
* Verification, Validation and Testing

PAPER SUBMISSION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFECOMP welcomes original work neither published nor submitted elsewhere on
both
industrial and research experience, including case studies and pilots. Full
paper
submissions will be subjected to a formal review process. To assist the
reviewing
process, an early submission of a short abstract (no more than one page) is
encouraged. Abstract and paper submissions are expected via the conference
website.
Full papers should be submitted in a portable document (pdf) or postscript (ps)
formats. Papers must clearly show the name, postal address, email address, phone
and fax numbers of the contact author. The maximum length of a paper is 14 pages
in the Springer LNCS format. Relevant templates can be found at Springer-Verlag
website http://www.springeronline.com/lncs. All necessary links can be found at
the conference website.
The following declaration should be added to the submitted paper:
"All necessary clearances for the publication of this paper have been obtained.
If accepted, the author will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion
in the conference proceedings and will present the paper at the conference."
Further information and the instructions about submissions are available on the
conference website. The language of all paper submissions and presentations is
English and no simultaneous translations will be provided.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After acceptance by the International Programme Committee, the final paper is
required in electronic version according to templates provided by the publisher.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings that will be

VENUE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gdansk, the world’s centre of amber, is a city with more than 1000 years of
history.
Situated between several major cultures and often at political frontiers it has
sometimes been a flash point of conflicts, but also the catalyst of new ideas,
including the Solidarity movement in 1980. It is situated on the edge of the
Baltic
Sea with beautiful beaches, a marvelous old town and an unique Kashubian
culture,
tradition and crafts.
Gdansk is easily accessible. Its airport is directly connected to major hubs
including
London, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Munich andWarsaw. Intercity train connections
link
Gdansk with Berlin,Warsaw, Krakow and Poznan.
The Conference will be held in the Holiday Inn Hotel in Gdansk. This is a 4-star
hotel situated right next to the Gdansk Old City. It features a large and well
equipped conference room and all facilities expected from an establishment
of this class. The hotel is located in the commercial and cultural centre of
the city and is very easily accessible, regardless of which means of
transportation
were used to reach Gdansk.
A number of rooms will be available in the Holiday Inn Hotel at a reduced rate.
Several other hotels located in the vicinity of the Old City and in Gdansk will
be recommended as well. Details are available from the conference website.
