Key sectors of modern economies depend highly on ICT. The information
flowing through the resulting technological super-infrastructure as
well as the information being processed by the complex computing
systems that underpin these are critical as their disruption,
disturbance or loss can lead to high economical, material and,
sometimes, human loss. As a consequence, the security and dependability
of this infrastructure becomes critical and its protection a major
objective for governments, companies and the research community.

Now in its fifth edition, CRITIS will again bring together researchers
and professionals from academia, industry, and government interested
or involved in all security-related heterogeneous aspects of Critical
Information Infrastructures. We invite research papers, work-in-progress
reports, R&D projects results, surveying works and industrial
experiences describing significant security advances including but not
limited to the following areas:

- Continuity of Services
- Dependable Infrastructure Communications
- Early Warning Systems
- Embedded Technologies Security
- Incident Response
- Infrastructure Interdependencies
- Information Assurance
- Internet-Based Remote Control
- Forensic Techniques
- National and Cross Border Activities
- Network Survivability
- Trust Models in Critical Scenarios
- Policy Management
- Resilient Software
- Secure Information Sharing
- Security Logistics
- Security Modeling and Simulation
- Security Risks
- Threat Analysis
- Vulnerability Assessment

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least
three reviewers. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that
was published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted
in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
Papers should be up to 12 pages in English, including bibliography and
well-marked appendices. Post-proceedings will be 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 Workshop and present
the paper.

The CRITIS 2010 proceedings will again be published in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. To submit a paper, please
follow the specific instructions posted on the workshop website
(http://www.critis.net/). The submitted paper (in PDF or PostScript
format), which should follow the template indicated by Springer
(http:www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), must start with a title,
a short abstract, and a list of keywords. However, it should be
anonymised with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, nor
obvious references.

Inclusion in the post-proceedings volume requires at least one author
for each paper to present in person so as to ensure the interactive
workshop character.
