vulnerabilities of the Internet, offers a strategy for future research aimed

includes traditional, problem-specific studies as well as unconventional
ideas is necessary to combat current and future cybersecurity threats;
* Software for Dependable Systems: Sufficient Evidence?, which discusses the
meaning of dependability in a software and systems context, illustrates how
the growing use and complexity of software necessitates a different approach
to ensuring dependability, and recommends an evidence-based approach to
achieving justifiable confidence in and greater dependability of software;
and
* Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital Age, which
