Critical Infrastructure Dependability Initiative
The IEEE Critical Infrastructure Dependability Initiative (CIDI) was conceived by the Boston Section to help to insure the dependable performance of the complex layers of interacting networks and systems that the continued vitality of modern western society depends on.
Through an open discussion of timely issues, critical gaps and challenges in the existing knowledgebase - we hope to foster the dissemination of knowledge about novel new technologies, techniques and processes development and implementation of appropriate standards.
Following the successful launch in May 2006 at Tufts University – CIDI announces the 2006-2007 program.
