Introduction


The SpaCCS 2016 conference is the 9th event in the series of conferences which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in computation, communication and storage. SpaCCS is now recognized as the main regular event of the world that is covering many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for computation, communication and storage. As applications of computer systems and networks have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The conference will provide a forum for the world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields.


Following the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS conferences, formerly SpaIoT and SQC symposiums, held in Helsinki, Finland (2015), Beijing, China (2014), Melbourne, Australia (2013), Liverpool, UK (2012), and Changsha, China (2011), the 9th International Conference on Security, Privacy and Anonymity in Computation, Communication and Storage (SpaCCS 2016) will be held in Zhangjiajie, China, November 16-18, 2016. Zhangjiajie is an emerging tourist destination famous for its unique natural scenery and abundant tourism resources. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was established by the State Council in 1982 as the first National Forest Park of China. Zhangjiajie was listed into the World Natural Heritage Catalogue by the UNESCO in 1992. Zhangjiajie was awarded the title of "World Geological Park" in 2004. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of computation, communication and storage, with regard to security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. SpaCCS 2016 will focus on three broad areas of computation, communication, and storage, i.e. architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for security, privacy and anonymity.

Part II: Call for Workshop Proposals, SpaCCS 2016, Zhangjiajie, China, November 16-18, 2016
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SpaCCS 2016 workshops provide vibrant opportunities for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research experience, original research results and practical development experiences on specific new challenges and emerging issues.


The organizers and chairs of the workshop shall have responsibility of the call for papers, forming program committee, review and selection of papers as well as planning the workshop program. The registration fee for workshops will be determined by the conference (not the workshop itself). The fees will be paid to the conference, and the conference will provide workshop facilities including the working notes printing, the meeting room, coffee break, lunch, dinner, proceedings, etc.


The proceedings of the SpaCCS 2016 workshops will be published by Springer LNCS series (Indexed by EI).


Prospective workshop organizers should send a proposal containing the following information to SpaCCS 2016 Workshop Chairs:


 - Title of the workshop (Full name and Abbreviation)


 - Objectives, scope, and contribution to the main conference (up to 1 page)


 - Short bio of the key organizers and their experience on conference/workshop organization


 - Procedure for selecting papers, plans for dissemination (for example, how to advertise and special issues of journals), and the expected number of participants


 - A tentative list of program committee members


 - The workshop website URL address


Approved workshops should strictly follow the important dates, particularly the paper status notification and camera-ready dates. The submission deadline could be later than that of the main conference. But a workshop should have sufficient time, say 5-7 weeks, for generating peer reviews. Generally, each paper should receive 3 peer reviews.


We look forward to your stimulating proposals and contributions to SpaCCS 2016 workshops. A workshop proposal should be submitted to workshop chairs via email by April 1, 2016: {Raymond DOT Choo AT unisa DOT edu DOT au; mx DOT dong AT ieee DOT org; jinli71 AT gmail DOT com}
