1st meeting of PROCENT-EG

Introduction

A one day workshop was organised in Athens on the 20th of March, 2009, with the objective to:

  • Identify areas of emerging networking technologies;
  • Assess the impact of these technologies on the networks resilience; and
  • Identify emerging techniques enhancing security.

Following the workshop it was decided to establish a group of experts who will contribute in the creation of a report on research priorities in the areas of networking and information security for resilient networks.

During the meeting the following tasks were performed:

  • Introduction of participants
  • Presentation of ENISA work programme and expectations towards PROCENT experts group
  • Presentation by experts on their areas of activities
  • Resume of input received from experts before the meeting
  • Discussion
  • Choice of areas of interest

The expected output of the expert group will be a report that will present a number of current/emerging (networking) technologies having impact on resilience. In this respect, for each of the identified networking technologies the report is expected to:

  • Present;
  • Analyse their impact in terms of resilience;
  • Identify gaps;
  • Develop conclusions;

Following the discussion among the participants, the following five areas were identified:

  • Online detection and diagnosis systems;
  • Wireless networks;
  • Sensor networks;
  • Cloud computing;
  • Integrity of supply chain.

The group agreed on the suggestion of forming subgroups working on specific areas and on identifying “care takers” for those areas.
