CALL FOR PAPERS
7th Workshop on Security and High Performance Computing Systems
(SHPCS 2012)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of
The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation - 
(HPCS 2012)
http://hpcs2012.cisedu.info/
July 2-6, 2012
Madrid, Spain

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 11, 2012

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Providing high performance computing and security is a challenging task.  
Internet, operating systems and distributed environments currently suffer 
from poor security support and cannot resist common attacks.  Adding 
security measures typically degrade performance.  This workshop addresses 
relationships between security and high performance computing systems in 
three directions.  
First, it considers how to add security properties (authentication, 
confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control) to high 
performance computing systems.  In this case, safety properties can also 
be addressed, such as availability and fault tolerance for high performance 
computing systems.  Second, it covers how to use high performance computing 
systems to solve security problems.  For instance, a grid computation can 
break an encryption code, or a cluster can support high performance intrusion 
detection. More generally, this topic addresses every efficient use of a high 
performance computing systems to improve security.  Third, it investigates the 
tradeoffs between maintaining high performance and achieving security in 
computing systems and solutions to balance the two objectives.  In all these 
directions, various performance analyses or monitoring techniques can be 
conducted to show the efficiency of a security infrastructure.  
The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel 
research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and network 
security, as well as case studies and implementation experiences.  Papers 
should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, 
application, or operation of secure systems.  
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Access Control
* Accounting and Audit
* Anonymity
* Applied Cryptography

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted 
elsewhere.  Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, 
affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.  
Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords 
from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.  
The full manuscript should be at most 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format.  
Additional pages will be charged at additional fee.  
Please include page numbers on all submissions to make it easier for reviewers 
to provide helpful comments.  
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript via using the Easychair submission link at 
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=shpcs2012.    
Only PDF files will be accepted.  Each paper will receive a minimum of three 
reviews.  Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical 
clarity and presentation.  Authors of accepted papers *** must guarantee *** that 
their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop. If you have any 
questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the organizer.  
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be made 
available at the time of the meeting.  
SPECIAL ISSUE
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their 
work for a special issue in a ISI Journal (the last special issue is going to be
