The Third International Workshop on Resilience and IT-Risk in Social Infrastructures (RISI 2013)

To be held on September 2, 2013 in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2012 – http://www.ares-conference.eu).

September 2nd – 6th, 2013
University of Regensburg
Regensburg, Germany

Resilience gains importance for sustainable welfare of societies with respect to their acceptable adaption to interferences of all kind. In order to prepare for expected interferences and to response to unexpected ones 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. One main challenge 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 only rudimentarily the case for so-called data-centric services and adaptive IT systems.

The main objective of the third realization of the RISI workshop – within the Eighth International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security in Regensburg, Germany – is to identify research problems and to discuss scenarios and future research initiatives regarding data-centric services and their support for "Resilience in Social Infrastructures" as well as the necessity to take non-technical aspects into consideration. A double-blind review process has resulted in five contributions being accepted for presentation and publication in addition to the invited keynote speech of Koichiro Hayashi, President and Professor of the Institute of Information Security, Yokohama, Japan.

The workshop is opened by Koichiro Hayashi discusses in his keynote “Social Issues of Big Data and Cloud: Privacy, Confidentiality, and Public Utility” Big Data as a means for resilience with privacy and confidentiality. Memiko Otsuki et al. present a study about people’s behavior in Japan regarding their disclosure of personal data such as identifiers, demographic information or preferences, and their willingness to pay for using a service protecting their personal information. Hiroshi Yoshiura et al. address disclosure of face images on social networks sites and privacy. He introduces a method for face anonymization enabling users to control the trade-off between security and utility. Hiroshi Maruyama et al. show a specific area of resilience in Japan: Safety. They argue that the priorities on security/privacy requirements change in the face of emergency such as a natural disaster. This contribution presents some of the insights and challenges already obtained from their work on a security architecture to incorporate policy switching. Using twitter for efficient emergency message propagation is the topic of the contribution by Kelly Itakura et al. Moussa Quedraogo et al. present an attack graph based estimation of security risk and its aggregation from lower level components to the entire service to predict QoS of critical infrastructures.

We thank the authors and reviewers for contributing to the high quality of the RISI 2013 workshop with their submissions and their constructive and thorough reviews.
