FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Second International Conference on Information Warfare:
"Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway"
Conference Date: Wed 18 January 1995
Conference Locale: Dorval Airport Hilton Hotel
Montreal, Canada
1. INTRODUCTION
Cultures that depend on information systems are vulnerable to
Information Warfare. Attacks on data confidentiality, data integrity
and data availability will damage individuals, corporations and
other private organizations, government departments and agencies,
nation-states and supranational bodies.
It is essential to erect legal, organizational, and cultural defences
against information warfare.
The Second International Conference on Information Warfare will
focus on panel discussions of Winn Schwartau's new book,
_Information Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway_,
published in 1994 by Thunder's Mouth Press (ISBN
1-56025-080-1).
This announcement serves as a request for participation by those
wishing to appear on panels, those wishing to suggest speakers, and
others wishing to be added to a mailing list (electronic and
snailmail) for further details as they develop.
Panelists will be asked to analyze selected portions of _Information
Warfare_ and to present refutations or support for the author's
statements, assertions, predictions, warnings and recommendations.
The Conference will serve the interests of information security
specialists and strategic planners from the corporate world, military
and government circles, and academia. The Press will be permitted
to cover the event, providing opportunities for increased public
awareness of vulnerabilities of the information infrastructure.
The Conference Proceedings will contribute to the national and
international debates about information warfare and the need for
careful planning to avoid disruption by hostile forces as national
and international information highways develop worldwide.
Following recommendations from last year's participants in the First
International Conference on Information Warfare, we have
scheduled more free time for the animated discussion among
participants.
Informal discussions will be aided by Special Interest Group signs
allowing people with specific interests to congregate.
The organizers are making a special effort to reach members of the
defence establishments of Canada and the United States. In order
to foster the greatest degree of serious and productive discussion,
room has been reserved for no more than 100 participants.
