Informatik 2004 conference, which will appear as part of the Lecture
Notes in Informatics published by the Gesellschaft fuer Informatik,
Germany's main association of computer scientists.

** Short description
The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in the
field of safety and security, in particular in the area of industrial
computer systems. Industrial computer systems are often used to
control critical processes, and special requirements for their safety
and reliability exist. To meet these requirements, laws often require
a special assessment and licensing procedure. Recently, industrial
computer systems are getting increasingly interconnected and access is
granted over public, insecure networks. This causes novel security
threats that have to be addressed in an adequate manner.
