2012 ACM Cloud Computing Security Workshop (CCSW) at CCS

October 19, 2012, Sheraton Raleigh Hotel, Raleigh, NC.
http://crypto.cs.stonybrook.edu/ccsw12

Dear Colleagues,

ACM CCSW is back! The previous workshops were a tremendous success, with
over 100+ people in the audience, multiple sponsors (NSF, Microsoft), 3-5
invited talks and excellent papers.  This year we hope you will join us in
yet another successful event.

--------

Notwithstanding the latest buzzword (grid, cloud, utility computing, SaaS,
etc.), large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to
stay. How exactly they will look like tomorrow is still for the markets to
decide, yet one thing is certain: clouds bring with them new untested
deployment and associated adversarial models and vulnerabilities. It is
essential that our community becomes involved at this early stage. The CCSW
workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in all
security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing, including:

     practical cryptographic protocols for cloud security
     secure cloud resource virtualization mechanisms
     secure data management outsourcing (e.g., database as a service)
     practical privacy and integrity mechanisms for outsourcing
     foundations of cloud-centric threat models
     secure computation outsourcing
     remote attestation mechanisms in clouds
     sandboxing and VM-based enforcements
     trust and policy management in clouds
     secure identity management mechanisms
     new cloud-aware web service security paradigms and mechanisms
     cloud-centric regulatory compliance issues and mechanisms
     business and security risk models and clouds
     cost and usability models and their interaction with security in clouds
     scalability of security in global-size clouds
     trusted computing technology and clouds
     binary analysis of software for remote attestation and cloud protection
     network security (DOS, IDS etc.) mechanisms for cloud contexts
     security for emerging cloud programming models
     energy/cost/efficiency of security in clouds

We would like to especially encourage novel paradigms and controversial
ideas that are not on the above list. The workshop is to act as a fertile
ground for creative debate and interaction in security-sensitive areas of
computing impacted by clouds.

CCSW is soliciting full papers of up to 12 pages and short papers of up to 6
pages. Submissions must be in double-column ACM format with a font no
smaller than 9 point. Please use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates,
available at the ACM website. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions
not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their
merits. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM
Digital Library.

Both research and position/vision/white papers are invited. Submissions must
not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are
simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All
authors and their affiliations must be listed. Each accepted paper must be
presented by one registered author.

DATES

Submissions due: July 16, 2012
Author notification: August 13, 2012
Camera-ready: August 24, 2012
