1.  "Security and Privacy in Complex Information Systems“ ◦The TC will study all aspects related to ensuring security, privacy, and availability in complex distributed information systems and systems-of-systems, both from the theoretical and practical points of view. The studies will concern planning, designing, developing, installing, configuring, operating, maintaining, and managing security and privacy techniques and technologies for such scenarios.  Chair: Pierangela Samarati, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Technical Committees
