Welcome!

The 4th CRIS conference follows a series of successful international conferences on the theme of critical infrastructures (Bejing 2002, Grenoble 2004, Virginia 2006) in which actors from several communities come together to discuss the latest studies of vulnerabilities, research challenges, and results within the area of critical infrastructures. Presentation of state-of-the-art research is combined with discussion forums in which a range of stakeholders from the industry and government organisations to vendors and technology providers exchange their latest findings.

There will be a session for work-in-progress and student papers. These will not go through the same review process as normal papers but the authors will have an opportunity to present their ideas and ongoing work to the community and recieve feedback.

Invited speakers

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

• Tuomas Aura, Microsoft Research
• Ronnie Belmans, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
• Martin Koyabe, BT Group
• William H. Sanders, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
