Link: http://www.autonomic-conference.org/iccac-2017/resources/ACS/ WikiCFP: http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=64433&copyownerid=… The 1st International Workshop on Autonomics and Cloud Security (ACS 2017) Co-located with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC) and the 11th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2017) The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA -- September 18-22, 2017 Cloud computing is used by many organizations to build scalable systems in different domains, such as retail, healthcare, human resources, finance, education, and government. Our society has become more dependent on the services provided by these cloud-based systems. As a result, cyber-attacks on these cloud-based systems can have a dramatic impact on all aspects of our lives. Cloud security is an active area of research, involving many approaches for ensuring the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data and applications hosted in the cloud. However, existing techniques for securing cloud-based systems, including autonomic-based cloud systems, are based on the assumption that people will be involved in managing them. These techniques require end user input to implement effective cybersecurity strategies to defend the systems. The emerging area of Autonomic Cybersecurity can provide solutions that complement existing cybersecurity techniques in the cloud. The goal of Autonomic Cybersecurity is to use Autonomic Computing techniques and approaches to defend computing systems. The Autonomics and Cloud Security workshop aims to investigate approaches to cloud security in general, including cloud-based autonomic systems, as well as autonomic cybersecurity approaches for defending cloud-based systems. The workshop is soliciting papers in two categories, namely, the use of autonomic computing techniques to address cloud security, and techniques and approaches for securing cloud-based autonomic systems. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in these two categories, which include, but are not limited to, the following major areas: The use of autonomic computing techniques to address cloud security: -Challenges in autonomics and cloud security and privacy -Emerging issues in autonomic cloud security -Autonomic identity and access management in cloud computing -Autonomic cybersecurity monitoring and incident response in cloud computing -Autonomic auditing and accountability in cloud computing -Autonomic approaches to usable security in cloud computing -Autonomic security protocols in cloud computing -Autonomic approaches to privacy in the cloud -Autonomic approaches for securing data and communication in the cloud -Secure autonomics-based cloud federation -Self-adaptive security policies -Self-configuration of cloud systems -Scalable cybersecurity in the cloud -Autonomic event recovery in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to moving target defense in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to cyber defense in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to intrusion detection and prevention systems in the cloud -Techniques and approaches for building resilient cloud systems -Cybersecurity in fog and edge computing -Application of big data analytics to securing the cloud -Autonomic approaches to trusted computing Techniques and approaches for securing cloud-based autonomic systems: -Cybersecurity in the cloud for supporting IoT applications -Security protocols in cloud-based autonomic systems -Techniques and approaches for privacy preservation in cloud-based autonomic systems -Event detection and forensics in cloud-based autonomic systems -Techniques and approaches for cloud-based autonomic systems resiliency -Secure computing techniques for the cloud (securing data-in-processing via Homomorphic --Encryption, Secure Multi-Party Computation, and other secure computing techniques). -Techniques and approaches for anomaly detection in cloud-based autonomic systems -Scalable cybersecurity in cloud-based autonomic systems -Ethical hacking and penetration testing in cloud-based autonomic systems -Case studies in securing cloud-based systems We solicit research papers containing original research results and challenge papers motivating new research directions. In addition, the workshop will facilitate discussion and collaborative research among the participants. Submissions may be made via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acs17 . UPDATE: A special issue on Cluster Computing (The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications) will include an extension of the best papers of all the workshops that will be held in conjunction with ICCAC 2017.

by roman 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** ============================================================================== C a l l F o r P a p e r s SPIFEC 2017: 1st European Workshop on Security and Privacy in Fog and Edge Computing (In conjunction with ESORICS 2017) Oslo, Norway, September 14, 2017 Website: https://www.nics.uma.es/pub/spifec ============================================================================== Overview The main goal of Fog Computing and other related Edge paradigms, such as Multi-Access Edge Computing, is to decentralize the Cloud and bring some of its services closer to the edge of the network, where data are generated and decisions are made. Cloud-enabled edge platforms will be able to cooperate not only with each other but with the cloud, effectively creating a collaborative and federated environment. This paradigm shift will fulfill the needs of novel services, such as augmented reality, that have particularly stringent requirements like extremely low latency. It will also help improve the vision of the Internet of Things by improving its scalability and overall functionality, among other benefits. To enable this vision, a number of platforms and technologies need to securely coexist, including sensors and actuators, edge-deployed systems, software-defined networks, hardware virtualization, data mining mechanisms, etc. However, this paradigm shift calls for new security challenges and opportunities to leverage services for new scenarios and applications. The field of edge computing security is almost unexplored, and demands further attention from the research community and industry in order to unleash the full potential of this paradigm. Topics This workshop expects original research papers on, but not limited to, the topics described below: • Edge devices security • Attacks and Countermeasures to Edge computing platforms • Authentication and Access control in Edge computing • Accountability and Accounting in Edge computing • Identity management systems in Edge computing • Secure federation of Edge computing devices • Secure Orchestration and Management of Edge devices • Secure Software-Defined Networking for Edge computing • Secure Virtualization in Edge Computing • Secure Migration of resources in Edge Computing • Data and Computation integrity in Edge Computing • Trust and Reputation Management in Edge computing • Privacy in Edge Computing • Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems for Edge computing • Digital Forensics in Edge Computing • Risk Analysis in Edge Computing • Incident Management in Edge Computing Important dates: - Submission deadline: 30th June 2017 - Authors’ notification: 30th July 2017 - Camera ready version: 27th August 2017 Paper Submission Guidelines: Submissions must be made through EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spifec2017 Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or submitted to another conference or journal.

The 2017 ICDM Workshop on Data Science and Big Data Analytics (DSBDA 2017)
by ICT DataScience 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

The 5th ICDM Workshop on Data Science and Big Data Analytics (DSBDA 2017) [http://www.bigdatalab.ac.cn/~dsbda/2017/] In conjunction with The IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2017) [http://icdm2017.bigke.org/] New Orleans, USA · November 18, 2017 Introduction ================ Due to the rapid development of IT technology including Internet, Cloud Computing, Mobile Computing, and Internet of Things, as well as the consequent decrease of cost on collecting and storing data, big data has been generated from almost every industry and sector as well as governmental department. The volume of big data often grows exponentially or even in rates that overwhelm the well-known Moore’s Law. Meanwhile, big data has been extended from traditional structured data into semi-structured and completely unstructured data of various types, such as text, image, audio, video, click streams, log files, etc. It is no doubt that big data can offer us unprecedented opportunities. However, it also poses many grand challenges. Due to the massive volume and inherent complexity, it is extremely difficult to store, aggregate, manage, and analyze big data and finally mine valuable information/knowledge from the complex data/information networks. Therefore, in the presence of big data, the theories, models, algorithms and methods of traditional data related fields, such as, data mining, data engineering, machine learning, statistical learning, computer programming, pattern recognition and learning, visualization, uncertainty modeling, and high performance computing etc., become no longer effective and efficient. On the other hand, some data is generated exponentially or super-exponentially in a streaming manner. Therefore, how to delicately analyze and deeply understand big data so as to obtain dynamical and incremental information / knowledge, is a grand challenge. In general, at the era of big data, it is expected to develop new theories, models, algorithms, methods, and paradigms for mining, analyzing, and understanding big data, and even a new inter-discipline, Data Science, for studying the perception, acquisition, transportation, storage, management, analysis, visualization, and applications of big data, and finally implement the transformation from data to knowledge. DSBDA 2017 aims to provide a networking venue that will bring together scientists, researchers, professionals, and practitioners from both industry and academia and from different disciplines (including computer science, social science, network science, etc.) to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, share experiences, promote collaborations, and report state-of-the-art research work on various aspects of data science and big data analytics. Topics ================ The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data science and data analytics * Acquisition, representation, indexing, storage, and management of big data * Processing, pre-processing, and post-processing of big data * Models, algorithms, and methods for big data mining and understanding * Knowledge discovery and acquisition from big data * Visualizing analytics and organization for big data * Streaming data processing * Context data mining from big Web data * Social computing over big Web data * Industrial and scientific applications of big data * Tools for big data analytics Submissions ================ The page limit of workshop papers is 8 pages in the standard IEEE 2-column format ( http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html), including the bibliography and any possible appendices. All papers must be formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society proceedings manuscript style, following IEEE ICDM 2017 submission guidelines available at http://icdm2017.bigke.org/. Papers should be submitted in PDF format, electronically, using the CyberChair submission system: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2017/icdm17/scripts/submit.php?subarea=SP04&u… . Note that all accepted papers will be included in the IEEE ICDM 2017 Workshops Proceedings volume published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and will also be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The workshop proceedings will be in a CD separated from the CD of the main conference. The CD is produced by IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Therefore, papers must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop, conferences or journals. Important Dates ================ Submissions Due Date: August 7, 2017 Notifications of Acceptance: September 7, 2017 Camera-Ready Deadline: September 15, 2017 Workshop Date: November 18, 2017 Steering Committee =================== Prof. Benjamin W. Wah, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Prof. Jinpeng Huai, Beihang University, China Prof. Xueqi Cheng, Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Workshop Chairs ================ Dr. Xiaolong Jin Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China Email: jinxiaolong(a)ict.ac.cn Dr. Jiafeng Guo Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China Email: guojiafeng(a)ict.ac.cn Dr. Huewei Shen Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China Email: shenhuawei(a)ict.ac.cn
