日時：3月10日（木）17:40-18:00

 | 【講演概要】Our society is becoming more and more dependant on ICT. That is a fact for some time already and this brings many challenges. Not in the last place because of a fast increasing complexity, interdependency and cross-border nature of systems and infrastructures. What is needed to cope with this is an increasing “looking beyond borders” and borders in a variety of ways. Among others it means cooperation between different disciplines and types of expertise, between different types of partners and between regions / countries. In fact all disciplines involved in developing, building, maintaining and governing systems and processes have a role to play. This will be illustrated by a real-life example from the financial sector in the context of critical infrastructure protection. In particular issues like continuity of services, reliability and robustness of systems and infrastructures, resilience of organizations and crisis management arrangements are in the focus of attention. The role of professional societies in this challenge will be explicitly addressed as well. 【略歴】International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). President 2010-2016.
