Call for Papers: IEEE TSCloud 2015

Call for Paper

The 5^th IEEE International Symposium on Trust and Security in Cloud Computing; held in conjunction with IEEE TrustCom-15

August 20-22, 2015, Helsinki, Finland

The 5^th IEEE TSCloud 2015 Symposium (https://research.comnet.aalto.fi/Trustcom2015/tscloud2015/) brings together researchers with an interest in theoretical foundations and practical approaches to trust and security in cloud computing. The emphasis is on high-impact, novel/adopted theories and paradigms that address mathematical and logical underpinnings in trust and security in cloud computing, e.g. encryption, obfuscation, virtualisation security, governance, accountability, etc. Following the success of the first four TSCloud symposiums in Changsha, Liverpool, Melbourne and Beijing, this year’s TSCloud will focus on “New Challenges in Cloud Computing Security, Privacy and Trust”. As cloud computing matures and experiences increased adoption, the security of both data and infrastructures increases in importance. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit their novel ideas, interesting innovation or even surveys on important cloud security and trust topics.

Scope and Interests

Topics of interest for both main and demo tracks include, but are not limited to:

• Malware detection in cloud computing
• Cryptography and encryption techniques for cloud computing
• Data obfuscation for cloud computing
• Accountability in cloud computing
• Identity management in cloud computing
• Account and Domain management in cloud computing
• Security in virtualized environments
• Governance, regulation and compliance in cloud computing
• Data analytics for security in cloud computing
• Visualization for security in cloud computing
• Cloud computing threat detection techniques
• Trust in cloud services
• Trust reputation systems for cloud computing
• Reports on critical, real-life security and trust use cases in cloud computing
• Secure and trusted workflows in cloud computing
• Techniques preventing the nefarious use of cloud computing
• Cloud data leakage and data loss
• Position papers on issues in security and trust in cloud computing

Paper Submission Guidelines

Papers submitted to the symposium should be written in English conforming to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). The paper should be submitted through the symposium submission system at the symposium website. The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for over length charges.

 

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS CPS and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS after the conference. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be recommended to special issues of reputable SCI/EI-indexed journals.

Submitting a paper to the symposium means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the symposium and present the paper.
