2014 ACM Cloud Computing Security Workshop (CCSW) at CCS

November 7, 2014, The Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

Platinum Sponsor: Microsoft Research

--------

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.

--------

CCSW has had a significant impact in our research community. As of September
2013, in the new Google Scholar Metrics entry for CCS (which encompasses
CCSW), 4 of the top 20 cited papers of the past five years come from CCSW.
One way to look at it is that you're as likely or perhaps more likely to
have a top-20 paper publishing in CCSW than in CCS! (thanks to Ari Juels for
noticing this)

--------

Notwithstanding the latest buzzword (grid, cloud, utility computing, SaaS,
etc.), large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to
stay. The exact form they take is still for the markets to decide, yet one
thing is certain: clouds bring with them new deployment models and hence new
adversarial threats and vulnerabilities. CCSW brings together researchers
and practitioners in all security aspects of outsourced computing,
including:

.       practical cloud security solutions
.       practical cryptography for cloud security
.       secure cloud resource virtualization
.       network virtualization
.       secure data management outsourcing
.       practical privacy & integrity for outsourcing
.       foundations of cloud-centric threat models
.       secure & verifiable computation outsourcing
.       remote attestation mechanisms in clouds
.       sandboxing and VM-based enforcements
.       trust and policy management in clouds
.       secure identity management mechanisms
.       cloud-aware web service security paradigms
.       cloud-centric regulatory compliance
.       business & security risk models in the cloud
.       cost & usability models and their interaction with security
.       scalability of security in global-size clouds
.       trusted computing technology and clouds
.       binary analysis for remote attestation and cloud protection
.       cloud network security (DoS defense, IDS)
.       security for cloud programming models
.       energy/costs/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 meant to act as a
fertile ground for creative debate and interaction. Full technical papers
are solicited. Multiple student stipends are available to attend CCSW.
Preference is given to students with papers.

DATES

.       Submissions: July 25, 2014
.       Author notification: August 25, 2014
.       Camera-ready papers due: September 7, 2014
