Summary (in portuguese):

A Segurança Informática está na ordem do dia, no que diz respeito à segurança das organizações e indivíduos. Esta conferência constituirá uma excelente oportunidade de reflexão e discussão das diversas questões inerentes à segurança informática, quer na visão da investigação científica, quer como fórum de discussão envolvendo as empresas e instituições, para troca de experiências sobre aspectos teóricos e práticos bem como sobre projectos de I&D e experiências de adopção de diferentes tecnologias e práticas de segurança para sistemas computacionais.

O evento juntará, num fórum aberto de discussão e debate, diferentes especialistas, investigadores, consultores, administradores de sistemas, responsáveis pela segurança e outros representantes das empresas e das diversas instituições.

EDCC-7: 7th European Dependable Computing Conference, May 7-9, 2008.

Summary:

There is an increasing dependency of the society on computing services and their underlying computing systems. This dependency creates strict requirements for the delivered services. These requirements affect to the quality of service, continuous availability, survivability in the advent of catastrophic failures, confidentiality, intrusion tolerance, etc. Dependability is a concept that considers all these cross-cutting concerns and required attributes, such as reliability, availability, safety, and security, as well as human factors.

The 7th European Dependable Computing Conference aims at providing a European-hosted venue for researchers and practioners from all over the world to present and discuss their latest research achievements. Original papers are solicited on theory, techniques, systems, and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation of dependable computing systems. All kinds of faults are of interest, from traditional hardware and software faults to accidental and malicious human interactions.
