Security and survivability of networked systems

Summary form only given. This minitrack was organized as a research forum to pursue the interrelationships between security, survivability, and reliability in large, non-trivial, networked computer systems. The papers are divided into two sessions, separated by a presentation on Security Trends and Initiatives at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The three papers in the first session address ways of measuring and testing security properties in software systems. The NIST presentation provides a forum for learning about some of the U.S. government´s security and survivability research initiatives. In the last paper session, we have combined a paper on ad-hoc sensor networks with two papers from the minitrack on Secure and Survivable Mobile Agents.
