InSPEC 2008 - Call for papers
International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Enterprise Computing
in conjunction with the 12th IEEE International EDOC Conference 2008
Munich, Germany, 15 September 2008

Several technologies have emerged for enterprise computing. Workflows
are now widely adopted by industry and distributed workflows have been
a
topic of research for many years. Today, services are becoming the new
building blocks of enterprise systems and service-oriented
architectures
are combining them in a flexible and novel way. Business applications,
such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management
(SCM) and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) systems form the core
of enterprise systems. In addition, with wide adoption of e-commerce,
business analytics that exploits multiple, heterogeneous data sources
have become an important field. These technological trends are
accompanied by new business trends due to globalization that involve
innovative forms of collaborations such as virtual organizations.
Further, the increased speed of business requires IT systems to become
more flexible and highly dynamic.

All of these trends bring with them new challenges to the security and
privacy of enterprise computing. We are increasingly relying on IT
systems for our daily business including essential utilities such as
water and power. The traditional forms of computer security need to be
enhanced to address the distributed nature and multiple administrative
domains of conducting business. For example, algorithms for
incorporating the new business practices need to be identified for
access control. Similarly, data confidentiality cannot be provided on
the network layer anymore, it needs to be built into applications and
processes that span across various domains. The enhanced data sharing
calls for innovative algorithms and protocols. Novel cryptographic
techniques need to be developed and established ones evaluated for
industrial adoption. In addition to the security measures, this new
generation of distributed systems requires techniques for ensuring
compliance with regulations on governance and privacy of data,
including
those asserted by government and regulatory agencies.

New concepts for solving these challenges require the combination of
many disciplines from computer science and information systems, such as

cryptography, networking, distributed systems, process modeling and
design, access control, privacy etc. It is the goal of this workshop
to provide a forum for exchange of novel research in these areas among
the experts from academia and industry. Completed work as well as
research in progress is welcome, as we want to foster the exchange of
novel ideas and approaches.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Security and privacy in workflow systems
o Access control architectures
o Modeling of security and privacy constraints
o Automatic security augmentation
o Secure/Trusted virtual domains
* Security and privacy in service-oriented architectures
o Secure composition of services
