R7.2 Planning and Evaluation of Critical Resources

How critical infrastructures can be planned?o Tools / Methods to discover bottlenecks and check for

weaknesseso Assess cost and potential utility / level of protection of

remediation schemes

Combine technical aspects with economicsPartners: TUM, UoS, IIN, UNI PASSAU, NKUA

R7.3 Impact of Social Behaviour

How technology and social behaviour interact toproduce threats?

o Flash crowds, flash mobs, social amplification of attacks

o Self-fulling tendencies, social cascades

What does this imply for providing vital services?Partners: ULANC, TUM, NKUA, NEXA, CNR

R7.4 Dependability and Perception of Threats

How threats are perceived, selected andresponded to?

o Perception of risks in soceity, leads to a certainbehaviour of users

o Impact on actual threats

Collect existing activities, stimulate innovativefuture research combining CS with psychology andsocial sciencesPartners: ULANC, TUM, NEXA

R7.5 Impact of Intentional Behaviour

How risk arising from intentional behaviour can beanalysed?

o Understand rules, conventions and procedures thatsystems rely on when protecting resources

o How will malicious and non-malicous users form their

intentions?Risk Analysis based on user intentionsPartners: ULANC, IIN, NKUA, NEXA

R7.6 Critical infrastructures in future Internets

How protected resources found in socialorganisations can operate in the context of a futureInternet.

o Vital services are realized in certain ways today.o Do they use methods that contradict architectural

aspects of a future Internet?Transition from critical services today to critivalservices in future InternetsPartners: ULANC, UoS, IIN, OXF

Interdependencies with other WPs

With the foundational JRA1-3o solutions for resilience / dependability in architectureo evaluate proposals with respect to WP goals

With JRA5o JRA7 solutions need securityo Many threats have impact on objectives JRA5 andJRA7
