- Co-Sponsored by the VDE ITG
- Technical sponsorship of the IEEE Systems, Man & Cybernetics Society
Technical Committee on Systems Safety and Security

*******************************************************
WISTP 2009 Background and Goals:

With the rapid technological development of information technologies and
with the transition from the common to the next generation networks,
computer systems and especially embedded systems are becoming more
mobile and ubiquitous, increasingly interfacing with the physical world.
Ensuring the security of these complex and yet, resource constraint
systems has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges.
Protecting the privacy of the user immersed in such systems is a
similarly pressing concern.

The aim of this third workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in related areas and to encourage interchange and
cooperation between the research community and the industrial/consumer
community. The workshop will consist of technical paper presentations,
one special session for student papers and several invited talks.

Opportunities for students:

To help the students looking for a PhD thesis or a postdoctoral
position, we will propose them to add a colorized sticker on their
badge. In the same way, we will propose to persons offering these
positions to add a sticker with a different color. We hope this
mechanism will help to support the exchanges between young and senior
researchers.
