Introduction

William Fitzgerald is a postdoctoral researcher at the Cork Constraint Computation Centre (4C) where he carries out research (directed by Dr. Simon Foley) on network security configuration modelling, threat management and physical security. William holds a PhD in Computer Science from University College Cork. He has co-authored, amongst other international publications, over ten international peer-reviewed papers in the area of cyber security and ontology engineering. On a professional capacity, William serves as the Publications Chair of the International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet Systems (CRiSIS 2012) and acts as a reviewer for a number of computer security journals and conferences. In the past, he has also served as a scientific reviewer for the Dutch Technology Foundation. Prior to his current position he held research posts at Waterford Institute of Technology's TSSG and at Ericsson Applied Research Laboratories, Ireland. William also holds the following degrees M.Sc. (Research Mode 1) and B.Sc. (honours) both from N.U.I. Maynooth.
