Pierangela Samarati 2011 AdCom Meeting Montreal, Canada – 7 April 2011

1. IEEE SYSC Technical Committee on Security and Privacy in Complex Information Systems Activity Report Pierangela Samarati 2011 AdCom Meeting Montreal, Canada – 7 April 2011

2. Scope To address security and privacy in complex information systems and systems-of-systems. In particular, the following topics: access control and audit, authentication, biometrics, anonymity, information security, data security, operating systems security, network security, intrusion detection and prevention, data privacy, trustworthy systems, formal methods for security, dependability, secure environments and applications, risk analysis, security engineering, training, education, management, legal and ethical issues.

3. Mission To advance the state-of-the-art of security and privacy in complex distributed information systems • to foster research on novel solutions for enhancing the security and privacy techniques and technologies for complex information systems and for system-of-system; • to promote the application of enhanced security, privacy, and availability functionalities in complex distributed information systems and for system-of-system; • to raise awareness on the issues of security and privacy of complex systems; • to promote cooperative research activities with other TCs and organizations with similar goals; • to disseminate knowledge about its scope by organizing dedicated workshops, special sessions in international conferences (especially the IEEE Systems Conference), special issues in international journals (especially the IEEE Systems Journal), tutorials, and other educational activities.
