CALL FOR PAPERS
=============================================

SCOPE

Resilience gains importance for sustainable welfare of societies with respect to their acceptable adaption to interferences of all kind. The aim is to identify current states of systems and to predict their development. In order to prepare for expected interferences and to response to unexpected, inevitable interferences in real-time, current initiatives in computer science aim to analyze huge amount of data from public and private domains with adaptive IT systems, e.g. Cloud Computing.

Realizing such analyzing services implies availability of authentic, personal data form different origins, their aggregation, and secondary use. These services are "data-centric" by definition. One main challenge to be solved for achieving such reliable data-centric services within acceptable risks is cross-domain processing of (personal) data in compliance to law, business rules and social norms. Whereas many security solutions are well studied for models and their implementation for separated security domains, this is not the case for data-centric services and adaptive IT systems.

The aim of the RISI 2013 workshop is to identify research problems and to discuss risk scenarios with data-centric services regarding their support for "Resilience in Social Infrastructures" as well as the necessity to take non-technical aspects into consideration. We encourage academic researchers and industry experts to present and discuss novel ideas and ongoing work. Contributions addressing promising approaches to provide and manage resilient infrastructures with data-centric services are invited as research in progress and best practices.
