-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [KuVS ELG] Erinnerung: 3. Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden Datum: Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:20:34 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de> An: elg(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de Liebe Kollegen, wir moechten auf die Einreichungsfrist fuer das 3. Fachgespraech Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden hinweisen: 15.12.2009 Wir werden dieses Fachgespräch im Rahmen eines Workshops der ARCS organisieren, d.h. die Beitraege werden auch im Tagungsband veröffentlicht (und bei IEEE gelistet, die ARCS Organisatoren arbeiten an diesem Thema). Das Fachgespraech wird - in alter FG-Manier - am Nachmittag des 22.2. beginnen und am 23.2. vormittags fortgesetzt. So bleibt die Moeglichkeit, im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Abendessens offene Fragen zu diskutieren und unsere Doktoranden koennen sich in lockerer Umgebung untereinander und mit erfahreneren Professoren vernetzen. Das Fachgespräch ist grundsaetzlich als lockeres Diskussionsforum gedacht. Wir hoffen auf zahlreiche Beitraege aus Ihren Reihen und nat. auf aktive Teilnahme, nicht nur von Doktoranden, sondern auch von erfahreneren Teilnehmern, die sich in die Diskussion einbringen wollen und koennen. Viele Gruesse, Frank Bellosa, Falko Dressler und Dirk Timmermann ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS GI/ITG Workshop on Energy-aware Systems and Methods held in conjunction with ARCS 2010 - Architecture of Computing Systems February 22-23, 2010; Hannover, Germany <http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/2010/> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aims and scope -------------- Energy is considered a critical or even the most critical resource in many computing systems. Applications comprise a wide range of system capabilities including cloud computing, mobile laptops or PDAs, as well as cell phones, sensor networks, and deeply embedded devices. Thus, for functional and ecological reasons energy awareness and energy-aware operation are fundamental demands for any system. In recent years, a new research domain was established as an interdisciplinary field among different areas of computer science (e.g., operating systems and computer networks) and electrical engineering (e.g., wireless communication and chip design). Based on findings in the field of energy-aware systems and methods, novel application scenarios can be envisioned encompassing even stronger requirements on reliability, resilience, lifetime, adaptability, and self-organization. This workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss recent results in the field of energy-awareness that is a cross-cutting concern in many areas in systems research. Based on intensive discussions of energy-critical issues in the different layers and the different approaches to energy-aware system design, the participants will be able to study energy-related problems from multiple perspectives and to look into the complex interactions among those layers. We especially encourage PhD students to participate, to share their ideas and findings, and to network with other fellows working in the same field. Topics of interest ------------------ Whereas the workshop mainly focuses on energy-aware systems and methods, contributions are favored that span all the related fields of study. This includes the following aspects: - Operating system support - Communication methods - Protocol engineering - Simulation techniques - Cross-layer design of energy-aware systems - Application and hardware support for energy-aware operation Organization ------------ The workshop is organized as a follow-up to the successful “GI/ITG Fachgespräch” on energy-aware systems and methods. Key organizers are Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), PD Dr. Falko Dressler (University of Erlangen), and Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (University of Rostock). Important dates --------------- • December 15, 2009: Paper submission deadline. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. • January 15, 2009: Notification of acceptance • January 20, 2010: Final paper submission • February 22/23, 2010: Workshop Submissions ----------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing Datum: Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:43:33 -0600 Von: Kui Ren <kren2(a)iit.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CFP: First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing http://www.ece.iit.edu/~ubisec/workshop.htm To be held in conjuction with IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2010) Cloud computing has recently emerged as a new information technology infrastructure. In cloud computing, information is permanently stored in large data centers on the Internet and temporarily accessed and cached on clients that include desktops and portable PCs, sensors, etc. With the "cloud" as a metaphor for the Internet, cloud computing promises to deliver massively scalable IT-enabled data, software, and hardware capabilities as a service to external clients using Internet technologies. Cloud computing has been envisioned as the key technology to achieve economies of scale in the deployment and operation of IT solutions. Cloud computing has unique attributes that raise many security and privacy challenges in areas such as data security, recovery, and privacy, as well as legal issues in areas such as regulatory compliance and auditing. In contrast to traditional enterprise IT solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical and personnel controls, cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the servers in large data centers on the Internet, where the management of the data and services are not fully trustworthy. When clients store their data on the server without themselves possessing a copy of it, how the integrity of the data can be ensured if the server is not fully trustworthy? Will encryption solve the data confidentiality problem of sensitive data? How will encryption affect dynamic data operations such as query, insertion, modification, and deletion? Data in the cloud is typically in a shared environment alongside data from other clients. How the data segregation should be done, while data are stored, executed, and transmitted? How the virtulized resources is being managed and secured in the cloud? Due to the fundamental paradigm shift in cloud computing, many security concerns have to be better understood, unanticipated vulnerabilities identified, and viable solutions to critical threats devised, before the wide deployment of cloud computing techniques can take place. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following subject categories: Secure management of virtualized cloud resources Secure network architecture for cloud computing Joint security and privacy aware cloud protocol design Access control and key management Trust and policy management in clouds Identification and privacy in cloud Remote data integrity protection Secure computation outsourcing Dynamic data operation security Software and data segregation security Failure detection and prediction Secure data management within and across data centers Availability, recovery and auditing Secure wireless cloud Both regular research papers and position papers that define new problems in cloud computing security or provide visions and clarifications of cloud computing security are solicited. Additionally, short papers that describe work-in-progress ideas are also welcome. Time Table Manuscript submission: January 22, 2010 Acceptance notification: Feburary 28, 2010 Final Manuscript due: March 15, 2010 Paper Submission Form of Manucript: All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format.
