ACM SIGMETRICS - CINS 2018
Welcome!
The Second ACM International Workshop on Critical Infrastructure Network Security (CINS) will be held in University of California, Irvine on June 18, 2018 in conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS.
Scope
Critical Infrastructure Networks of the nations across the world
currently are under severe stress due to increased number of
incidences and threats of cyber-attack against these networks.
Almost all these networks, including electric power distribution
grid, communication networks, water distribution networks,
financial networks and transportation systems are vulnerable to
cyber-attacks. As these networks form the lifeline of any nation,
it is imperative that vulnerability level of these networks be
reduced as much as possible.
Unfortunately,
vulnerability levels of these infrastructure networks are not well
understood. To complicate matters further, these networks do not
operate in isolation. Most often, they are highly interdependent on
one another, making vulnerability analysis of such interdependent
networks even more complex. Although in the last few years a number
of models have been proposed for such interdependent systems, most
of them are inadequate to capture the complex interdependency that
exists even in one critical infrastructure system, let alone
multiple interdependent critical infrastructure systems. In
addition, none of the proposed models have been validated using any
real critical infrastructure network data.
The goal
of this workshop is to bring academicians, critical infrastructure
network operators, representatives of governmental agencies
responsible for proper functioning of these networks together, so
that appropriate modeling and data collection approaches can be
formulated so that vulnerability levels of various critical
infrastructure networks can be evaluated and results validated.
Call for Papers
In keeping with the scope of the workshop, we are seeking papers covering all aspects of critical infrastructure network security, which includes technical, economic, social and behavioral. In addition to scientific contribution from the academicians, we strongly encourage submission from the engineers, economists and physical, social and behavioral scientists from infrastructure operators, national laboratories and governmental agencies. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
- Modeling and validation for Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Interdependency between multiple Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Vulnerability analysis of Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Enhancement of Robustness and Resiliency of Critical Infrastructure Networks in a budget constrained environment
- Cyber-security and Digital Forensic issues in Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Economic aspects of robustness and resiliency of Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Impact of Social and Behavioral aspects on robustness and resiliency of Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Impact of Regulations on robustness and resiliency of Critical Infrastructure Networks
- Risk management in Critical Infrastructure Networks
Important Dates
- Submission Deadline: May 14, 2018 (extended)
- Acceptance Notification: May 25, 2018
- Workshop Date: June 18, 2018
Submission Details
Performance
Evaluation Review (PER) is the quarterly publication of ACM
SIGMETRICS. PER is sent to all SIGMETRICS members and is available
through the ACM digital library. PER publishes the proceedings of
all the Sigmetrics workshops. Accordingly, all accepted submissions
for CINS will be published in PER.
Page limit for
the CINS workshop submissions is 5 pages.
In
order for publication in PER, the authors of accepted submissions
need to grant ACM permission to publish them in print and digital
formats. Note that there are no copyright issues with PER, and thus
authors retain the copyright of their work with complete freedom to
submit their work elsewhere.
Authors should prepare
the manuscripts in the following latex style: https://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls
CINS encourages research papers, position papers
and policy papers from academia, industry and governmental agencies
for presentation at CINS. The submissions should be in the standard ACM format.
Submissions must be submitted electronically in printable PDF form,
via the CINS 2018 submission site at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cins2018
Submissions will be reviewed by the CINS program
committee for presentation at the workshop. Revised versions of
these submissions will be published in a special issue of Performance
Evaluation Review (PER), with a due date after the workshop making
it possible for authors to incorporate the results of, or simply
mention, any relevant discussions at the workshop.
