CALL FOR PAPERS

FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SECURING SERVICES ON THE CLOUD

IWSSC 2011

Held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Network and

System Security (NSS 2011)

September 6-8, 2011, Milan, Italy - http://sesar.dti.unimi.it/iwssc2011

IWSSC 2011 BACKGROUND AND GOALS

The ongoing merge between Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and

the Cloud computation paradigm provides a new environment fostering

the integration of services located within company boundaries with

those on the Cloud. An increasing number of organizations implement

their business processes and applications via runtime composition of

services made available on the Cloud by external suppliers. This

scenario is changing the traditional view of security introducing

new service security risks and threats, and requires re-thinking of

current development, testing, and verification methodologies.

IWSSC 2011 aims to address the security issues related to the

deployment of services on the Cloud, along with evaluating their

impact on traditional security solutions for software and network

systems.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting

novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security

of services implemented on the Cloud, as well as experimental studies

in Cloud infrastructures, the implementation of services, and lessons

learned. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Security in Cloud services

* Software verification in critical services

* Static code analysis of software services

* Test-based verification of services

* Authentication and access control on the Cloud

* Challenges in moving critical systems to the Cloud

* Cybercrime and cyberterrorism on the Cloud

* Communication confidentiality and integrity

* Data security and privacy on the Cloud

* Formal methods for the Cloud

* Homeland security

* Information assurance and trust management

* Intrusion detection on the Cloud

* Model-based validation of services

* Orchestration and choreography

* RESTful service security

* SOAP security

* Security certification of services

* Security metrics on the Cloud

* Security models and architectures

* Security patterns for the Cloud

* Security protocols on the Cloud

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission due: June 1, 2011 (midnight Samoa time)

Notification to authors: July 11, 2011

Camera-ready due: July 21, 2011

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been

published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or

conference/workshop with proceedings. Each submission should be at

most 8 pages in total including bibliography and well-marked

appendices, and should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format.

Submissions are to be made to the submission web site

(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwssc2011).

Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these

guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be

presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted

paper is required to register with the main conference and present

the paper. Accepted papers at the workshops will be published in

the conference proceedings and in the IEEE digital library.
