[Tccc] CFP: WORKSHOP ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING - SPCC 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING - SPCC 2010
PART OF COMPUTER PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION - CPDP 2010
www.spcc2010.info, www.cpdpconferences.org
29th January 2010 - Brussels, Belgium

An increasing amount of data is stored and processed outside the control
of the owner. Outsourcing, software-as-a-service, infrastructure renting
and social networking sites change the way we think about information
handling. Instead of managing our own information, we leave it somewhere
"out there". The development of providing information technology as a
service is currently reaching its apex in cloud computing: a technology
that provides on-demand access to massively scalable resources. When the
information being processed is sensitive, security and privacy concerns
are inevitable. How can we protect the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of information that is processed outside our control? In
the SPCC workshop, we seek technical and organisational solutions for
protecting security and privacy in cloud computing environments. The
workshop will consist of keynote lectures on security and privacy in
cloud computing as well as presentations of submitted papers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Understanding cloud security and privacy
o security modelling and threat analysis
o security requirements engineering
o interaction between the physical, digital and social security domains
- Technical security mechanisms for cloud computing
o access control
o applied cryptography and protocols
o centralised vs. decentralised security architectures
o data-centric security and data classification
o identity-centric security and identity management
- Cloud computing in organisational and societal context
o auditing
o incident identification and management
o risk analysis and risk management
o trust management
o economic, social and legal aspects

Technical contributions should provide insight into business and/or
societal value. Papers and presentations should be targeted to a broad
audience, including information security experts, legal experts, policy
makers, and social scientists. We especially encourage submission of
papers that connect two or more of the above topics. Papers should be
PDF, in Springer book chapter style
(http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0
), without author identification, and should be submitted through the
EasyChair website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spcc2010)
by 16 November 2009. We accept both position papers (maximum 10 pages)
and full papers (maximum 15 pages). Papers will be selected based on
blind review. Submission implies that, should the paper be accepted, at
least one author will register for the conference and present the paper
in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the
book of the CPDP conference (post-proceedings).
