There is still a big gap between theoretical research in Computer Information Systems and the needs of innovative industrial management applications. CISIM is an opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss effective software support for widespread use of information systems technologies. The main focus this year will be on Data Management in (possible) Untrusted Networks. Contributions are expected that address the issue of securing computer networks so as to ensure reliable data management and delivery. The conference aims at providing a forum for practitioners and researchers to exchange ideas, perspectives on problems, and new solutions. Both papers proposing novel models, methods, and algorithms and reporting experiences applying existing methods on significant case studies and industrial examples are welcome.

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

- network security models and tools
- application security models and tools
- security requirements definition and modelling
- formal verification of security-relevant properties
- security testing of legacy systems
- data analysis
- biometric security
- biometric performance management
- classification and indexing of multimedia information objects
- multimedia security and protection
- access control and data protection
- web security
- security of SaaS in cloud computing environments
- software engineering for cloud and ubiquitous computing
- business process engineering and execution support
- data protection in ERP systems
- industrial applications: Government, Finance, Retail, etc.

The conference proceedings will be published by SPRINGER-VERLAG in the LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE Series, and authors will be required to sign a copyright release.

The program will include two invited tutorials by Pierpaolo Degano (Univ. of Pisa, Italy)on "Formalizing Security in Ubiquitous and Cloud Scenarios", and by Young Im Cho (Univ,. of Suwon, South Korea) on "Designing Smart Cities: Security Issues".

All submissions must be in English. Please use the web-submission system easychair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cisim2012

Technical papers must not exceed 12 pages in camera-ready form, including figures and references, in Springer LNCS style. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this symposium.
