DESEREC is an Integrated Project of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Union under the "Information Society Technologies" priority, strategic objective "Towards a global dependability and security framework" . Its main goal is the definition of a framework to increase the dependability of existing and new networked Information Systems by means of an architecture based on the following modules: a) Modelling & simulation: DESEREC devises and develops innovative approaches and tools to design, model, simulate, and plan critical infrastructures to improve their resilience b) Fast reconfiguration with priority to critical activities DESEREC provides a framework to respond in a quick and appropriate way to a large range of incidents to mitigate the threats to the dependability and thwarts the problem and c) Incident detection and quick containment: DESEREC integrates various detection mechanisms to ensure fast detection of severe incidents and avoid any impact propagation. IEIIT is active in the modelling and simulation scientific area and is responsible for the study, design and development of new tools based on formal techniques for the combined analysis of vulnerabilities chains and fault propagation in DESEREC networks.
