Security and reliability are interdisciplinary areas, drawing from several fields: mathematics (number theory, statistics, logic), computer science (algorithms, information theory, cryptology, formal methods, computational complexity, software engineering), electrical engineering (electronics, signal acquisition and processing, secure hardware design), management (security and quality policies, risk assessment) and social aspects (security awareness, ethical and legal issues, privacy).
The objective of the Grande Region Security and Reliability Day (GRSRD) is to increase scientific interaction in security and reliability at the regional level. The workshop provides a platform for exchange of ideas, discussion and co-operation. It focuses on the Grande Region, but is open to submissions and participation of the whole scientific community working in security and reliability. The GRSRD is jointly organized by the University of Luxembourg, LORIA-INRIA Nancy, Saarland University, and the University of Trier.

All the accepted papers (including papers accepted for poster presentation) are available in our online proceedings.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an extended abstract of 1-2 pages. The workshop will not have formal proceedings. Therefore, abstracts submitted to the GRSRD 2015 may report on work in progress, be submitted to other places, and they may even already have appeared or been accepted elsewhere. We particularly welcome submissions that have the potential to stimulate the scientific interaction within the Grande Region. The reviewing process will mainly determine whether a submitted abstract promises to fit into the scope of this workshop. This will be the major reason for acceptance of presentation. This year we will feature both regular presentation and poster presentations in order to accommodate a broader discussion forum. Both of these presentation styles are required to submit an extended abstract.
The authors of the papers accepted for presentation at GRSRD 2015 will be invited to submit the final versions of their abstracts for an on-line publication at this web page.
