CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE 4th International Workshop on Security and Privacy Engineering
One day between June 27-July 2, 2014, at Hilton Anchorage, Alaska, USA
Co-located with IEEE SERVICES 2014 (http://www.servicescongress.org/2014/)
Workshop Web page: http://sesar.dti.unimi.it/SPE2014/

Description
===========

Built upon the success of spectrum of conferences within the IEEE World 
Congress on Services, the Security and Privacy Engineering (SPE 2014) 
workshop is a unique place to exchange ideas of engineering secure 
systems in the context of service computing, cloud computing, and  big 
data analytics. The emphasis on engineering in security and privacy of 
services differentiates the workshop from other traditional prestigious 
security and privacy workshops, symposiums, and conferences. The 
practicality and value realization are examined by practitioners from 
leading industries as well as scientists from academia.

In line with the engineering spirit, we solicit original papers on 
building secure service systems that can be applied to government 
procurement, digital medical records, cloud environments, social 
networking for business purposes, multimedia application, mobile 
commerce, education, and the like. Potential contributions could cover, 
but are not limited to, methodologies, protocols, tools, or verification 
and validation techniques. We also welcome review papers that analyze 
critically the status of current Security and Privacy (S&P) in a 
specific area. Papers from practitioners who encounter security and 
privacy problems and seek understanding are also welcome.

Topics of interests of SPE 2014 include, but are not limited to:

- S&P Engineering of Service-Based Applications
- Security Engineering of Service Compositions
- Practical Approaches to Security Engineering of Services
- Privacy-Aware Service Engineering
- Industrial and Real Use Cases in S&P Engineering of (Cloud) Services
- S&P Engineering of Cloud Services
- Auditing and Assessment
- Assurance and Certification
- Security Management and Governance
- Privacy Enforcement in Clouds and Services
- Cybersecurity Issues of Clouds and Services
- Validation and Verification of S&P in Clouds and Services
- Applied Cryptography for S&P in Clouds and Services
- S&P Testing in Clouds and Services
- Security and Privacy Modeling
- Socio-Economics and Compliance
- Education and Awareness
- Big Data S&P Engineering
