Communication Middleware for Monitoring Financial Critical Infrastructure
-- FAB Meeting In Rome June 2010 --

On 17th June 2010, there was a CoMiFin Financial Advisory Board meeting held in Rome. The meeting concentrated on the dissemination of the status of the CoMiFin prototype 1 including a demonstration of a storyboard based development of a Semantic Room (SR) for both Intrusion Detection and Man in the Middle attacks. The following elements were shown in the demonstration:

- SR Management functions that can be activated from the CoMiFin portal;

- SR Service provisioning and related interactions;

- SR service monitoring through the Dashboard that shows metrics and alerts;

- Data gathering and event processing.

In addition to providing valuable feedback on the demonstrations, the FAB members also provided assistance in developing an agenda for an upcoming EU-US workshop that will be held between the CoMiFin project and Sandia National Laboratories (www.sandia.gov). In addition, the PARSIFAL project key recommendations and outcomes were presented to the FAB members.
