CALL FOR PAPERS
DEALINE EXTENDED TO DEC 21st!

WIDN 2015 is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate
across the cyber-physical, engineering and social, behavioral and economic
(SBE) sciences in pursuit of an understanding of the interdependent
critical infrastructure systems (ICIs). The workshop in order to
accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, provides three
different submission formats.

- Full papers (6 pages)
- Position papers (6 pages)
- Extended Abstracts (upto 2 pages, for non-computer science disciplines)

More details of the workshop:

============================================================
IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) April, 27, Hong
Kong, 2015

(in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2015 - April, 26 - May,1 , Hong Kong)

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------------------------------------------

Modern networked systems, in particular, networked physical
infrastructures, are inter-dependent in such a way that changing in one
network may have a profound impact on other systems. One notable example of
such interdependent networked system is the smart-grid, of which the power
stations depend on communication networks for control and management and
vice versa, the communication networks depend on the power systems for
their electricity supports. Furthermore, the rapid adoption and
pervasiveness of computing, and emergence of smart cyber-physical systems
and Internet of Things (IoT) have created new capabilities for autonomy,
interoperability, interaction and cooperation between many critical
computing, communication and control networks (?cyber systems?) and
physical infrastructures and ?smart? environments (?physical systems?).
Unfortunately, the connections with cyberspace also open to new surfaces of
vulnerabilities and new threat vectors. The challenge is to understand the
interdependencies of these systems and how the dynamics are cascaded
between them so as to design and develop ?smarter? and more resilient
inter-dependent networked (cyber-physical) systems.

The objective of this workshop is to advance and promote theoretical
foundations for understanding the behaviors of and inter-dependencies in
modern networked systems -- especially, in critical (networked) physical
infrastructure systems -- and emerging cyber-physical systems. It also
seeks to explore new system architectures and innovative mechanisms for the
design and development of robust and resilient interdependent networked
systems. This workshop will foster an interdisciplinary research community
that discovers new knowledge for the design and operation of national
critical networked infrastructures as processes and services.

WIDN 2015 is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate

(SBE) sciences in pursuit of an understanding of the interdependent
