The 4th International
Workshop on Security in Cloud Computing (CloudSec 2012)
http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ychen/CloudSec2012.htm
In Conjunction with 41st
International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP 2012)
Pittsburgh, PA, September 12, 2012
Call For Papers (pdf)
Cloud Computing has generated interest from both industry and academia since 2007. As an extension of Grid Computing and Distributed Computing, Cloud Computing aims to provide users with flexible services in a transparent manner. Services are allocated in a “cloud”, which is a collection of devices and resources connected through the Internet. Before this paradigm can be widely accepted, the security, privacy and reliability provided by the services in the cloud must be well established.
CloudSec’2012
will bring researchers and experts together to present and discuss the latest
developments and technical solutions concerning various aspects of security
issues in Cloud Computing. CloudSec’2012 seeks original unpublished papers
focusing on theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system
architecture construction and design, experimental studies, and social impacts
of Cloud Computing. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are
expected.
CloudSec’2012
also welcomes short papers related to Security in Cloud Computing, which
summarize speculative breakthroughs, work-in-progress, industry featured
projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and
preliminary studies.
The topics include but not limited to:
•
Emerging threats to cloud-based services
•
Security models for new services
•
Cloud-aware web service security
•
Information hiding in Cloud Computing
•
Securing distributed data storage in the cloud
•
Privacy and security in Cloud Computing
•
Forensics
•
Robust network architecture
•
Cloud Infrastructure Security
•
Job deployment in the Cloud
•
Intrusion detection/prevention
•
Denial-of-Service (DoS)
attacks and defense
•
Robust job scheduling
•
Secure resource allocation and indexing
•
Secure payment for cloud-aware services
•
User authentication in cloud-aware services
•
Security for emerging cloud programming models
Submission Guidelines
Original papers from the above mentioned and related topics will be
considered. Please submit regular full papers (8 pages) and short papers (2
pages) including all figures, tables, and references. Authors are requested to
follow the standard IEEE double column format with Font 10 (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confpubcenter/pdfs/samplems.pdf).
Papers should
be submitted electronically in pdf format through the
CMT website (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CLOUDSEC2012/) together
with a short abstract (approximately 150 words). Submitted papers must not have
appeared in or be under review/consideration for another workshop, conference
or a journal during the review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at
least three reviewers.
If you don’t have a CMT
account, you will need to create one.
