Bonn, Germany, November 11-12, 2002

Organized by: IFIP TC-11 Working Group 11.5

GENERAL INFORMATION
Confidentiality, integrity and availability are high-level objectives of IT security. The IFIP TC-11 Working Group 11.5 has been charged with exploring the area of the integrity objective within IT security and the relationship between integrity in information systems and the overall internal control systems that are established in organizations to support corporate governance codes.

This working conference series follows its tradition to establish the basis for an ongoing dialog between IT security specialists and internal control specialists so that both may work more effectively together to assist in creating effective business systems in the future. The goals for this conference are to find an answer to the following questions:

• what is the status quo of research and development in the area of integrity and internal control
• where are the gaps between business needs on the one hand and research and development on the other and what needs to be done to bridge these gaps
• what precisely do business managers need to have confidence in the integrity of their information systems and their data

TOPICS
We solicit papers describing original ideas and research results on foundations and applications related to the subject of integrity and internal control in information systems. We particularly solicit papers presenting business cases. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

• integrity and internal control in Enterprise Resource Planning systems
• integrity and internal control in e- and m-commerce applications and infrastructure
• integrity and internal control in financial systems
• developments in internal control concepts and the impact on integrity requirements
• user, organizational, legal integrity and internal control requirements in specific industries (e.g. pharmaceutical, aviation, transport, public administration, etc.)
• static and dynamic integrity constraints
• integrity standards
• methods for dealing with incomplete or inconsistent information
• efficient methods for checking integrity
• integrity requirements necessary to implement an internal control structure within an organization
• system and data integrity maintenance during recovery processes
• integrity of archival data
• methods for implementing data retention policies
• methods to repair integrity of data warehouses
• application controls for integrity
• discovery of integrity policies
• re-engineering of integrity
