Call For Papers
The
physical and logical boundaries of networked computing systems are
becoming increasingly difficult to specify. Many applications,
ranging from simple distributed databases to grid-based medical image
manipulations, are utilizing resources of unbounded environments.
For other applications, like the control of critical infrastructures,
the bounds of the traditional control infrastructure are fading due to
a general desire to have ease of access over the Internet.
However, this increases the chances of the applications to be affected
by malicious act, e.g. hacking, virus or Trojans.
It is thus more important than ever to design mechanisms into the
infrastructure and the applications that ensure survivability of
critical or essential functionalities.
This
minitrack addresses issues of security and survivability in large,
non-trivial, unbounded networked computer systems, with an emphasis on
recovery and adaptation. It considers systems and networks, including
dynamic paradigms based on migratory agents, ad-hoc networks or grid
computing. Papers on resistance and recognition that address the need
or capability for safety critical software systems to “fail-safe” and
“fail-secure” are also desired. Submissions will be sought from
researchers in the area of system survivability, software
dependability, computer and network security, fault-tolerance and
intrusion tolerance, and economic or statistical modeling of
secure/survivable systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Survivability in
unbounded systems
- Software survivability
and its measurement
- Safety critical failure
modes
- Network or system
intrusion tolerance
- Tolerating attacks in
grid computing
- Modeling malicious
behavior or attacks
- Survivability and
security issues of mobile agent based systems
- Survivability and
security issues of ad-hoc networks
- Mathematical models for
verification of vulnerability to malicious acts
- Models for measurement,
evaluation, or validation of survivability
- Software and hardware
fault-tolerance
- Design for dependability
and/or survivability
- PRA and hybrid fault
models accounting for malicious acts and events

Instructions for Authors
Authors
submit full papers to the Peer Review System, following Author
Instructions found on the HICSS we site (www.hicss.hawaii.edu).
All papers will be submitted in double column publication format and
are limited to 10 pages including diagrams and references. Papers
undergo a double-blind review.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
• HICSS papers must contain original material not previously published,
nor currently submitted elsewhere.
• Consult the conference website (www.hicss.hawaii.edu) for the listing
and description of Minitracks for HICSS-39.
• (optional) Contact the Minitrack Chair(s) by email for guidance
and verification of appropriate content.
• Do not submit the manuscript to more than one Minitrack
Chair. If unsure of which Minitrack is
appropriate, submit abstract to the Track Chair for guidance.
• HICSS will conduct double-blind reviews of each submitted paper.
• Submit full paper according to detailed instructions found on the
Peer Review System website.

HICSS conferences are devoted to advances in the information, computer,
and system sciences, and encompass developments in both theory and
practice. Papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial
or descriptive in nature. Submissions undergo a double-blind peer
referee process and those selected for presentation will be published
in the Conference Proceedings. Submissions must not have been
previously published.
