Focusing on Security, DNS EASY 2011 does not replace our traditional fall workshop and AGM (which will be announced soon) but serves provides specific focus for a broader audience than is typical for DNS-OARC workshops.</div><div><br></div><div><div>*********************************</div><div>The 2011 workshop on </div><div>DNS HEALTH & SECURITY</div><div>(DNS EASY 2011)</div><div>October 18-20, 2011</div><div>GCSEC headquarters</div><div>Rome, Italy</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://dnseasy.gcsec.org">http://dnseasy.gcsec.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>A joined event GCSEC - ICANN - DNS-OARC</div><div>*********************************</div><div>SCOPE</div><div><br></div><div>The Domain Name System is the core of the Internet infrastructure. With the increasing dependency on ICT of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) control and governance, DNS started to indirectly play a relevant role also in the daily life of the citizen, and for that reason must be considered by itself a critical infrastructure.</div><div><br></div><div>GCSEC, in cooperation with ICANN and DNS-OARC, organizes the 2011 Workshop on DNS health and security (DNS EASY-2011). The DNS-EASY workshop aims at bringing together researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental Agencies as well as representatives from across DNS ecosystem stakeholder groups (technical development, network operators, enterprise users, and security experts) to discuss all different aspects of the DNS Health and Security and its impact on the modern society.</div><div><br></div><div>The DNS EASY 2011 workshop co-locates the 3rd edition of the Global Annual Symposium on DNS Security, Stability and Resiliency and the first edition of the workshop on DNS Health and Security. Following the tradition of the 2009 and 2010 edition of the Global Annual Symposium on DNS-SSR the workshop is organized in two parts. The first, for freely attendance, is devoted to research results, R&D results and industrial experiences presentations. The second part (the Global Annual Symposium on DNS-SSR), for invitation only, will be devoted to DNS ecosystem stakeholder groups (technical development, network operators, enterprise users, and security experts) discussions on operational and policy open issues and challenges related to the DNS health and security.</div><div><br></div><div>Scientific contributions will be a precious input and could be used to drive discussions in the second part of the workshop. Authors are solicited to contribute to the Workshop by submitting research papers, work-in-progress reports, R&D project results, surveying works and industrial experiences describing significant advances in the following areas: </div><div><br></div><div>- DNS Security, Resilience, Stability and Performance metrics (DNS Health).</div><div>- DNS Infrastructure resilience and QoS</div><div>- DNS Cyber Threats and Vulnerabilities</div><div>- DNS Defense</div><div>- DNS and Cybercrime</div><div>- Impact of DNS on Critical Infrastructures (Energy Systems, Finance etc.)</div><div>- DNSSEC (all aspects)</div><div>- DNS Infrastructure Modeling & Simulation</div><div>- DNS Operations Vs DNS Health and Security</div><div>- DNS Governance Vs DNS Health and Security</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>PUBLICATIONS</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>All submissions will be subjected to a thorough blind review by at least three reviewers.
