Call For Papers
2009 International Workshop on Security in Cloud Computing (SCC'09)
http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~ychen/SCC09.htm
In Conjunction with PICom'09
http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~ydai/Picom09/ 
Chengdu, Sichuan, China, December 12 – 14, 2009
======================================================================
 
Cloud Computing has attracted attention from both industry and academics since 2007. As the extension of Grid Computing and Distributed Computing, Cloud Computing aims to provide users more flexible services in a transparent manner – all services are allocated in a “cloud” that actually is a collect of devices and resources connected through the Internet. Before it is accepted widely, one of the most impending tasks is the security, privacy and reliabilities provided by the services in the cloud. 

SCC’09 will bring researchers and experts together to present and discuss the latest developments and technical solutions covering various aspects of security issues in Cloud Computing. SCC’09 seeks original unpublished papers focusing on theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system architecture construction and designing, experimental study, and social impacts of the Cloud Computing. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are expected. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are expected.

SCC’09 also welcomes short papers related to the Security in Cloud Computing, which summarize speculative breakthroughs, work-in-progress, industry featured projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and preliminary studies. 

The topics include but not limited to:
•        Emerging threats to cloud-based services 
•        Security model for new services 
•        Cloud-aware web service security
•        Information hiding in Cloud Computing
•        Securing distributed data storage in cloud
•        Privacy and security in Cloud Computing
•        Forensics
•        Robust network architecture
•        Cloud Infrastructure Security
•        Intrusion detection/prevention
•        Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and defense
•        Robust job scheduling
•        Secure resource allocation and indexing
•        Secure payment for cloud-aware services
•        User authentication in cloud-aware services
•        Security for emerging cloud programming models

Submission Guidelines

Original papers from the above mentioned and related will be considered. Please submit regular full papers (6 to 8 pages) and short papers (2 pages) including all figures, tables, and references. Authors are requested to follow the standard IEEE double column format with Font 10 ( See http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confpubcenter/pdfs/samplems.pdf). 

Papers should be submitted electronically in pdf format through the EDAS website (http://edas.info/) together with a short abstract (approximately 150 words) using the EDAS forms. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or to be under review/consideration for another workshop, conference or a journal during the review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.

If you don’t have an EDAD account, you need to create an account.
