DigiSAS Lab, UTS has invited Professor Manfred Jeusfeld to conduct an online research seminar at DigiSAS lab on “Enterprise architecture modeling for cybersecurity analysis in critical infrastructures”
Abstract
Critical infrastructure operators such as power grid enterprises are a
target of advanced cyber attacks by criminal and antagonistic state
agencies. The EU project ELVIRA (2017-2020) developed a toolset for such
enterprises to evaluate their vulnerability and to assess the potential
damage of cyber attacks in terms of efficiency loss. In this talk, we
focus on the problem on how to represent the assets of the enterprise
and how to compute metrics such as criticality of assets. The tool has
been developed at the university of Skövde and is currently
commercialized in collaboration with Norgald AB. If time permits, we
will demonstrate the enterprise modeling capabilities of our solution
Speaker Bio:
Speaker: Prof Dr Manfred Jeusfeld
Bio: Manfred Jeusfeld studied computer science (minor Operations Research)
from 1980 to 1986 at the University of Technology Aachen (RWTH),
Germany. After getting his Diploma degree, he moved to University of
Passau, Germany. He worked on development support for database
applications and on foundations of deductive & object-oriented
databases. In 1992 he received his Doctoral degree in Natural Sciences
from the University of Passau, Germany. He is the principal developer of
the ConceptBase system, which is now used by several hundreds institutes
and companies world-wide for designing information systems and meta
modeling. In 2013 he joined the department of information technology,
University of Skövde, Sweden, as senior lecturer, and was promoted to
professor of informatics in April 2018. His research covers cooperative
conceptual modeling, data warehouse quality management, meta modeling,
and cyber security.
Dr. Jeusfeld has published more than 35 journal articles (Information
Systems, DSS, JIIS, SoSYM etc.) and numerous conference articles. He is
area editor for the Requirements Engineering Journal. He was co-PC-chair
of KRDB-94 to KRDB-97, DMDW-99, DMDW-2000, DMDW-2001, DMDW-2003,
ER-2011, and PoEM-2016. He is or has been reviewer for international
journals like ACM TOIS, REJ, SoSYM, and conferences including ICIS,
ECIS, VLDB, CAiSE, ER and others. He is also the founder of CEUR
Workshop Proceedings, a publication service for open-access proceedings
of scientific workshops and conferences.
