Cloud providers need tomanage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic andheterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPCenvironments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible managementof vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which isunprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing.Various virtualization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machinevirtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers withheterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate afully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamicways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with itscapability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistencewithin the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O Virtualization allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of theunderlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures.

Graphical Models for Security (GraMSec 2018) - deadline extended until April 20
by Barbara Kordy 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

The Fifth International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security Oxford, UK - July 8, 2018 *Submission deadline extended until April 20* http://gramsec.uni.lu Co-located with CSF 2018 In conjunction with FLoC 2018 SCOPE The use of graphical security models to represent and analyse the security of systems has gained an increasing research attention over the last two decades. Formal methods and computer security researchers, as well as security professionals from the industry and government, have proposed various graphical security models, metrics, and measurements. Graphical models are used to capture different security facets and address a range of challenges including security assessment, automated defence, secure services composition, security policy validation, and verification. For example, attack graphs, attack trees, attack–defence trees, and attack countermeasure trees represent possible ways of attacking and defending a system while misuse cases and mal-activity diagrams capture threats and abusive behaviour of users. TOPICS This year, we are particularly keen to encourage excellent submissions related, but not restricted, to the following broad headings: • Graph representations: mathematical, conceptual, and implemented tools for describing and reasoning about security • Logical approaches: formal logical tools for representing and reasoning about graphs and their use as modelling tools in security • Machine learning: modelling and reasoning about the role of big data and machine learning in security operations • Networks in national security: terrorist networks, counter-terrorism networks; safety in national infrastructure (e.g., utilities and transportation) • Risk analysis and management: models of risk management in business and organizational architectures • Social networks: using and reasoning about social graphs, network analysis, network protocols, social mapping, sociometry. Preference will be given to papers likely to stimulate high-quality debate at the Workshop. PAPER SUBMISSION We solicit two types of submissions: • Regular papers (up to 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. • Short papers (up to 7 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work in progress. The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted (regular and short) papers will be included in the workshop's post-proceedings. The GraMSec 2018 post-proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer. Submissions should be made using the GraMSec 2018 EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec2018 IMPORTANT DATES • Submission deadline: Friday, April 20, 2018 (extended) • Acceptance notification: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 • Workshop: Sunday, July 8, 2018 INVITED SPEAKER Mike Fisk, Chief Information Officer at Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM, USA Invited talk: Intrusion Tolerance in Complex Cyber Systems PROGRAM CHAIRS • George Cybenko, Dartmouth College, NH, USA • David J.
