OVERVIEW

The First Workshop on Recent Advances on Intrusion-Tolerant Systems aims to bring together researchers in the related areas of Intrusion Tolerance, Distributed Trust, Survivability, Byzantine Fault Tolerance, and Resilience. These areas have the purpose of enhancing the Dependability and Security of computer systems by tolerating both malicious faults (attacks, intrusions) and accidental faults. The workshop will be specially interested in “intrusion-tolerant systems”: how to build them? How to evaluate and test their dependability and security? What systems need to be intrusion-tolerant? The workshop will provide a forum for researchers in these areas to present recent results, discuss open problems that still need research, the steps that need to be taken for intrusion-tolerant systems to be deployed in practice, and the target application domains for intrusion tolerance.

Authors are invited to submit position papers to the workshop, that will be held in conjunction with the European Conference on Computer Systems (EuroSys 2007), March 21-23, 2007. Position papers can present ongoing work and novel/speculative results, but experimental results or other forms of validation are encouraged.

TOPICS
