The 23rd International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security
21-24 September 2004
Potsdam, Germany


About SAFECOMP

Since it was established in 1979, by The European Workshop on Industrial
Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability, Safety and Security,
EWICS TC7, SAFECOMP has contributed to the progress of the state-of-the-art
in dependable applications of computer systems.

SAFECOMP is an annual event covering the state-of-the-art, experience and
new trends in the areas of computer safety, reliability and security
regarding dependable applications of computer systems.

SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and experience on
emerging methods and practical applications across the borders of different
disciplines.

Call for Papers and Tutorials

SAFECOMP focuses on safety-critical computer applications and is a platform
for knowledge and technology transfer between academia, industry and
research institutions. Papers are invited on all aspects of dependability
and survivability of critical computer-based systems of systems and
infrastructures. Due to the increasing awareness and importance of security
issues, SAFECOMP 2004 emphasises work in relation to security of
safety-critical systems. Nowadays practical experience points out the need
of multidisciplinary approaches to deal with the nature of critical complex
settings. SAFECOMP, therefore, is open to multidisciplinary work enhancing
our understanding across disciplines.

SAFECOMP welcomes original work neither published nor submitted elsewhere on
both industrial and research experience. Examples of industrial and research
topics include:

    * Safety Foundations: Fault Tolerance; Distributed and Real-time
Systems; Diversity; Maintenance; Reliability; Formal Methods; Human Factors;
Risk Analysis; Open Source Software and Safety; Standards, Guidelines and
Certification; Commercial-Off-The-Shelf; Verification, Validation and
Testing; Analysis and Modelling; Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches
    * Safety Applications: Aerospace and Avionics; Automotive; Medical
Systems; Power Plants; Railways; Robotics; Chemical Industry; Process
Industry; Programmable Electronic Systems; Accident Reports and Management
    * Security in Safety-Critical Systems: Conflicts, Interfaces,
Integration Approaches between Safety, Reliability and Security; Accidents
caused by Security Breaches; Critical National Information Infrastructures;
Security-critical Safety Applications; Cryptographic Applications for Safety
Systems

Tutorial Submission

The first day of SAFECOMP 2004 is dedicated to tutorials. A one-page
tutorial proposal (1000 words) should accompany the submission describing
the contents of the tutorial and the relevance to the conference.

Submission

Paper submissions are via the conference website; submit full papers as
portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps). Papers must clearly show
the name, postal address, email address, phone and fax number of the contact
author. 14 pages is the maximum admitted length for submitted papers in the
LNCS format; templates can be found at Springer-Verlag website:

neither published nor submitted elsewhere may be submitted for publication.
The following declaration should be added to the submitted paper:

"All necessary clearances for the publication of this paper have been
obtained. If accepted, the author will prepare the final manuscript in time
for inclusion in the conference proceedings and will present the paper at
the conference."
