Important dates:
Deadline for Paper Submission: June 25, 2012
Notification of Acceptance: July 30, 2012
Camera Ready Copies: August 10, 2012
Submission site and requirements:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prisec2012.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file. Papers should be limited up to 8
pages in IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be
downloaded from the symposium website. All papers will be peer
reviewed by two or three pc members. Submitting a paper to the
symposium means that if the paper is accepted, at least one author
should register to CGC2012 and attend the conference to present the
paper.
Publications:
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE
Computer Society (EI indexed). Selected papers will be invited to
special issues of CGC2012 in Concurrency and Computation: Practice
and Experience, Future Generation Computer Systems and International
Journal of High Performance Computing Applications.
Introduction:
Social network analysis and cloud computing are two of the most
exciting new trends in the recent developments of information
technology. As the new generation computing paradigm, cloud enables
computing resources to be provided as IT services in a pay-as-you-go
fashion with high efficiency and effectiveness. With the popularity
of social software as well as the fast development of cloud and
other high-performance computing infrastructures, the outcome of
social network analysis is becoming more and more attractive.
However, information privacy and security issues are major
challenges in both these areas. This symposium aims at providing a
forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from different
background areas such as distributed computing, social computing,
information security and privacy protection areas to exchange the
latest experience, research ideas and synergic research and
development on fundamental issues and applications about security
and privacy issues in cloud environments and social networks. The
symposium solicits high quality research results in all related
areas.
Topics:
The objective of this symposium is to invite authors to submit
original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances
in all aspects of security and privacy in cloud computing
environments. The symposium solicits novel papers on a broad range
of topics, including but not limited to:
Security and privacy in Big Data management
Application of modern cryptography in cloud and social networks
Emerging threats in cloud-based services
Multi-tenancy related security/privacy issues
