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).

-------- 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. Each submission can have 10 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for publication, an over- length fee will be charged to each of the over-length pages, at $200 per page in the final camera-ready version. The short papers, on the other hand, are allowed to be up to 5 pages. Electronic Submission: TBA.

MobiSys seeks papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. The conference values results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs(a)acm.org. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ---------------------------------------------------------- * Tools for building and measuring mobile systems, * Software architectures for mobile devices, * Infrastructure support for node mobility, * System-level energy management for mobile devices, * Data management for mobile applications and systems, * Operating systems for mobile devices, * Support for mobile social networking and mobile Web 2.0, * Security and privacy in mobile systems, * Wearable computing and innovative mobile devices, * Systems for location determination, context sensing and context awareness, * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing, * Mobile technologies for energy conservation and monitoring, * Vehicular wireless systems, * Innovative mobile and mobile sensing applications, * Experience with mobile applications, networks and systems, * User interfaces and usability issues for mobile applications and systems, * Personal-area networks and systems, * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile system ---------------------------------------------------------- MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As is customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review process. Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with 1" margins. Papers may use the standard ACM template, available at: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2009/sig-alternate-10pt.cls. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Papers may be conditionally accepted and shepherded by a member of the program committee, with final acceptance determined by consent of the shepherd. For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. Important Dates ----------------------------------------------- Abstracts due: December 4th, 2009. 23:59 PST Full papers due: December 11th, 2009. 23:59 PST Notification of acceptance: March 3rd, 2010 Final camera-ready due: TBA ----------------------------------------------- Please note: These are hard deadlines. No extensions will be granted. General Chair Sujata Banerjee, HP Labs Steering Committee Chair Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Redmond Program Committee Co-Chairs S.
