<CALL FOR PAPER> *Call for Paper* DCCE'14 – 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems In conjuction with IEEE CloudCom 2014 http://2014.cloudcom.org/ *Abstract* Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud infrastructures and ecosystems according to specific compliance catalogues. Subjects of cloud audits are typically the quality of processes and services, the level of security and data protection as well as other standardised checklists. Examples such as the EuroCloud Star Audit are developed in reference to ISO 27001/27017 and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402 with a restructured approach for cloud service assessment. Other examples which are based on CCM, ISO27001-2013, AICPA Trust Principle (and others) are CSA STAR Certification (which is an evolution, cloud specific of ISO27001) and CSA STAR Attestation (based on SOC2 and CCM). These 2 examples of audits are part of the CSA Open Certification Framework. Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches, processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means getting the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting compliance rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical question from cloud customers nowadays: “Is the cloud service continuously operating compliant to local data protection laws?” The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, administration and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) requirements from standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down to technical means that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a highly dynamic cloud environment in a (half-)automated way. *Topics of interest* • Dynamic Certification • Dynamic Service Level Agreements • Cloud Certificates • Continuous / (Semi-)Automated Monitoring and Auditing • Metrics, Measures, and Methods for Dynamic Certification • Complex Event Processing • Data Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity • Certification Transparency • Data Aggregation • Data Analytics • Visualisation of Certification Results • Trust in Certificates *Important Dates* Paper submissions September 18nd, 2014 Notification September 25th, 2014 Camera-ready October 5th, 2014 *Organisers* • Helmut Krcmar, Technical University Munich • Michael Schermann, Technical University Munich • Mario Hoffmann, Fraunhofer AISEC • Ali Sunyaev, University of Cologne *Programme Committee* • Iryna Windhorst, Fraunhofer AISEC • Philipp Stephanow, Fraunhofer AISEC • Niels Fallenbeck, Fraunhofer AISEC • Andreas Weiß, EuroCloud • Bernd Becker, EuroCloud • Stephan Schneider, University of Cologne • Manuel Wiesche, Technical University Munich • Volker Wiedmer, Fujitsu • Joachim Lohmann, Fujitsu • Michael Diepold, AKDB *Submissions* This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Elsevier COMPELECENG Journal [IF=0.99] -- SI on "Emerging Wireless Networks" Datum: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 15:03:09 +0500 Von: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mubashir Rehmani <mshrehmani(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear colleagues, Please find below a call for papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Computers and Electrical Engineering (COMPELECENG) Journal on "Emerging Wireless Networks". Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ********************************** Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal on "Emerging Wireless Networks" http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/call-… AIMS AND SCOPE =============== Few decades back, wireless systems were meant merely single-hop cellular communication systems. However, in recent years, this meaning of wireless systems has changed and encompasses diverse communication architectures and technologies ranging from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to Device to Device (D2D) communication systems and from Multi-Hop Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) to Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Due to this paradigm shift and exponential growth in wireless system, new applications are also envisaged. Considering this rapid growth in wireless systems, new architectures, protocols and algorithms are also required. We call these new types of wireless systems as emerging wireless networks. In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the context of Emerging Wireless Networks. More specifically, this special issue will focuses on research relating to different experimental, simulation, algorithmic and theoretical aspects of Emerging Wireless Networks. The list of topics includes: - Emerging wireless networks * Cognitive Radio Networks * Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks * Green Communications * Device to Device (D2D) networks * Machine to Machine (M2M) networks * Smart Grid Communication System * 5 G Networks * Femto Cells - Innovative and cross-layer middle-ware solutions for emerging wireless networks - Applications of emerging wireless networks - Delay-sensitive and multimedia communication - Simulation models and tools for emerging wireless networks - Energy efficiency in emerging wireless networks - Wireless systems architecture: peculiar features and evolution - Deployment strategies - Layers in emerging wireless networks (physical, data link, network, transport, application) - Developments, issues, and open areas - Resource Management in emerging wireless networks - Future perspective for Emerging Wireless Networks IMPORTANT DATES ================ Manuscript Due: 30 Oct 2014 Acceptance notification: 30 Jan 2015 Revised paper due: 30 Mar 2015 Final manuscript due: 30 May 2015 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 2015 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/. Authors should select “SI-wls4”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. GUEST EDITORS OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE ============================== - Mehdi Shadaram, Managing Guest Editor, University of Texas at San Antonio, TX, USA Email: mehdi.shadaram(a)utsa.edu - Mubashir Husain Rehmani, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan, Email: mshrehmani(a)gmail.com Kind Regards -- Mubashir Husain Rehmani Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Wah Cantt, Pakistan https://sites.google.com/site/mshrehmani/ ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
