OVERVIEW

The 3rd Workshop on Recent Advances on Intrusion-Tolerant Systems aims

to foster the understanding of and collaborative discourse on the

challenges of building intrusion tolerant systems and innovative ideas

to address them. As a technical area, Intrusion Tolerance is at the

intersection of Fault Tolerance and Security. As a practical

discipline, it brings in additional topics ranging from software

engineering, adaptive system development to reasoning, coordination and

control of distributed resources and mechanisms, as well as validation

and evaluation of security and survivability claims. The workshop will

be especially interested in "practical intrusion-tolerant systems": How

are threats to business- and mission-critical information systems

handled today? Are emerging intrusion tolerance techniques being used?

What mechanisms are finding more use and why? What factors may be

discouraging mainstream adoption? How to build information systems that

are inherently resilient to intrusions? What new techniques are in the

horizon? How to evaluate and test the dependability and security of new

techniques? The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and

practitioners to present architectures for intrusion-tolerant systems,

new defense mechanisms, recent results, discuss open problems that still

need research, and survivability challenge problems in specific

application and domain areas.

Authors are invited to submit papers to the workshop, which will be held

in conjunction with the 39th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on

Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), June 29 - July 2, 2009. Papers

can present ongoing work and/or speculative/futuristic ideas.

Experimental results or other forms of validation are especially

encouraged. The workshop papers will be published in a supplementary

volume of the conference proceedings.

TOPICS

Topics of interest related to intrusion tolerance (IT) include, but are

not limited to:

* automatic recovery and response techniques

* hardware and software virtualization for IT

* leveraging social computing networks for resiliency

* threat of botnet herds and surviving them

* survivability and information assurance in the Cloud

* use of Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithms in IT

* biologically inspired defenses

* diversity and failure independence

* evaluation of IT systems

* theoretical limits of IT

* real world case studies

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The workshop will accept two formats of papers: regular papers (maximum

5 pages) and position papers (maximum 2 pages). Position papers allow

researchers to present more speculative/futuristic ideas to stimulate

discussion and further work. Papers have to adhere to the IEEE Computer

Society camera-ready 8.5"x11" two-column camera-ready format, like

regular DSN papers. Instructions about how to submit papers can be found

on the web site: http://wraits09.di.fc.ul.pt/ . More information about

the workshop can be obtained by email to the same address.

At least one author of an accepted paper must register at the conference

and present the paper at the workshop.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: March 16, 2009
