DDSI Overview

1. DDSI Overview DDSI, AMSD, ACIP R&D Workshop Brussels, 19 September 2002

2. Dependability DevelopmentSupport Initiative DDSI aims to establish networks of interest, to provide baseline data and to develop policy roadmaps on information infrastructure dependability. Marking the transition of II dependability from a bottom up, technical concern to a public policy & strategic business concern Viewing dependability as a business enabler Across national and sectoral boundaries European focus, global context Informing the policy debate The objective of the Dependability Development Support Initiative (DDSI) is to support the European Commission in the development of dependability policies across Europe and across sectoral boundaries. DDSI aims to establish networks of interest, to provide baseline data and to develop policy roadmaps. These products will support policy activities by European institutions and by public and private sector stakeholders across the EU, in Accession States and in partner nations. The consortium is led by RAND Europe (NL) and includes Kings’ College London (UK), Cell Network (Sweden), IABG (Germany), Almaweb (Italy), LINK (Portugal), ELIAMEP (Greece), Ernst Basler & Partners (Switzerland), ISDEFE (Spain) and is supported by Martech International and Origami. (B). The state-of-the-art overview of dependability in Europe and in the world is unique and provides the base line for further research and policy development. By defining the key concepts DDSI contributed to bringing together in common understanding the different communities they see as their target audiences. DDSI’s activities and reports are available from http://www.ddsi.org. Key messages are: information infrastructures form a critical part of our economy We need to understand how dependable that infrastructure is We need to enhance it in cross sector and transnational collaboration The objective of the Dependability Development Support Initiative (DDSI) is to support the European Commission in the development of dependability policies across Europe and across sectoral boundaries.

R&D Policy Roadmap a strategic roadmap for the development of a European R&D programme aimed at improving the dependability of Europe’s information infrastructures identify strategic approaches to develop a coherent and overarching research strategy addressing all aspects of information infrastructure dependability provide a basis for other roadmaps

6. Towards a Roadmap

7. R&D Roadmaps EU FP6 planning US OSTP & Blue Book, I3P UK DERA France Réseau Nationale de Recherche en Télécommunications (RNRT) Information Assurance Advisory Council R&D WG

8. RM Lessons Learned Who sets scope? How? Forecast, backcast, user survey Breadth of participation in topic identification & prioritisation Scope (infosec – CIP) Inclusion of non-technical issues Structure of process

9. R&D WG With some honourable exceptions, much of the R&D underway in both the government and corporate sectors, as well as in academia, is not seeking to address over-the-horizon issues that, given the accelerating pace of change in technology and business practices, are closer than one may think There are a number of obvious reasons why Information Assurance and Security R&D has remained behind the curve, including the ways in which government R&D plans are formulated and the short-term commercial interests of many private sector sponsors of research November 2000

10. EU/US Workshop Supported by DDSI, December 2001 Aims of workshop: discussed framework for collaboration between the EU and USA on R&D for information infrastructure dependability roadmap priority areas for future collaboration Report finalised in April 2002 Available at http://deppy.jrc.it
