8th InternationalWorkshop, CRITIS 2013 Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 16-18, 2013. Revised Selected Papers. — Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2013. — ISBN 978-3-319-03963-3, e-ISBN 978-3-319-03964-0.This volume contains the revised proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2013). The conference was held in the EYE and the Shell Technology Centre Amsterdam, The Netherlands, during September 16–18, 2013. The conference was organized by The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO. CRITIS 2013 continued the now well-established series of successful CRITIS conferences. This conference started with an additional half-day of keynote talks that sought to provide additional perspectives by critical (information) infrastructure (C(I)I) stakeholders such a policymakers, CI operators, and researchers. The focus of the keynote talks was on resilient smart cities, which require resilient and reliable information and communication networks. Related notions are resilient smart grids and smart mobility, which are key enablers for smart cities.
The selected papers and their presentations were grouped in the conference program as New Challenges, Natural Disasters, Smart Grids, Threats and Risk, SCADA/ICS and Sensors, and Short Papers. The same grouping can be found in this volume. To stimulate international collaboration and exchange of ideas, the program chairs selected a couple of submissions not chosen for the main conference, but nevertheless of considerable value and timeliness. These contributions were discussed in an interactive parallel work-in-progress session. To stimulate collaboration even more, the conference organizers started the building of a Critical Information Infrastructures Security LinkedIn community for young (of mind) researchers: Young CRITIS. The intention is to build a virtual international community that allows junior researchers in the C(I)I domain to interact and network with peers and experienced researchers in the C(I)I domain. It is hoped this will enable researchers to reach faster and better research results and may also lead to further joint international research.
