* Workshop Theme

There is a modern and identifiable trend for existing systems to migrate towards internet computing platforms. This is done for the obvious benefits such as scalability, globalisation, profitability, communication etc. but there are some associated risks for internet computing. Currently, risk management is treated as a macro-process in that it is often a separate process towards the end of the implementation stage instead of being interwoven into the fabric of modern internet computing projects.

In order to ensure a smooth, secure and safe introduction of corporate infrastructure to the internet computing paradigm, certain steps have to be taken from a risk management perspective.  This is the goal of this workshop. 

Against this background we welcome both practitioner and theoretical submissions which address any of the following non-exhaustive areas of interest in the context of internet computing:

1. Innovative risk management methodologies.
2. Application of critique of risk management models.
3. New approaches to modelling risk management
4. Trust issues in internet computing.
5. New directions in modelling risk and trust.
6. Risk assessment metrics.
7. Identity fraud related risks.
8. Policy-making issues.
9. Discussion of approaches to research methods.
10. Change and migration issues
11. Configuration management issues.


* Call for Contributions
