CALL FOR PAPERS
9th International Symposium on Secure Virtual Infrastructures
Cloud and Trusted Computing (C&TC 2019)
October 21-22, 2019 -- Rhodes, Greece,
http://www.otmconferences.org
==========================================================================

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

Current and future service-based software needs to remain focused
towards the development and deployment of large and complex intelligent
and networked information systems, required for internet-based and
intranet-based systems in organizations, as well to move to IoT
integration and big data analytics. Today, service-based software covers
a very wide range of application domains as well as technologies and
research issues. This has found realization through Cloud Computing, Big
Data, and IoT. Vital element in such networked, virtualized, and
sensor-based information systems are the notions of trust, security,
privacy and risk management.
Cloud and Trusted Computing (C&TC 2019) is the 9th International
Symposium on Cloud Computing, Trusted Computing and Secure Virtual
Infrastructures, organized as part of the OnTheMove Federated
Conferences & Workshops. C&TC 2019 will be held in Rhodes, Greece.
The conference solicits submissions from both academia and industry
presenting novel research in the context of Cloud Computing, Big Data,
and IoT, presenting theoretical and practical approaches to cloud, big
data, and IoT trust, security, privacy and risk management. The
conference will provide a special focus on the intersection between
cloud paradigm, big data analytics, and IoT integration, bringing
together experts from the three communities to discuss on the vital
issues of trust, security, privacy and risk management in Cloud
Computing, shedding the light on novel issues and requirements in big
data and IoT domains. Potential contributions could cover new
approaches, methodologies, protocols, tools, or verification and
validation techniques. We also welcome review papers that analyze
critically the current status of trust, security, privacy and risk
management in the Cloud, Big Data, and IoT. Papers from practitioners
who encounter trust, security, privacy, and risk management problems,
and seek understanding are finally welcome.

Paper Submission
================

FULL PAPERS
Regular paper submissions to Cloud and Trusted Computing 2019 (C&TC
2019) must present original, highly innovative, prospective and
forward-looking research in one or more of the themes given above. Full
papers must break new ground, present new insight, deliver a significant
research contribution and provide validated support for its results and
conclusions. Successful submissions typically represent a major advance
for the fields of cloud computing, big data, and IoT referencing and
relating the contribution to existing research work, giving a
comprehensive, detailed and understandable explanation of a system,
study, theory or methodology, and support the findings with a compelling
evaluation and/or validation. Each paper must be submitted as a single
PDF file in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format (no longer
than 18 pages in length). Accepted regular papers will be included in
the conference main proceedings and presented in the paper sessions.
Submissions to C&TC 2019 must not be under review by any other
conference or publication at any time during the C&TC review cycle, and
must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere.

NOTES (SHORT PAPERS)
Short papers (not longer than 8 pages in length) must report new results
and provide support for the results, as a novel and valuable
contribution to the field – just like full papers. Short papers are
intended for succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready
for inclusion in archival proceedings. Short papers will be held to the
same standard of scientific quality as full papers, albeit for a shorter
presentation, and must still state how they fit with respect to related
work, and provide a compelling explanation and validation. Short papers
must be submitted as single PDF file in Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science format. Accepted short papers will be published in the
conference main proceedings and will be presented in the paper sessions
of the conference.

PAPER FORMATTING AND PRESENTING
The paper and notes submission site giving all the relevant submission
details is located at:
http://www.otmconferences.org/index.php/paper-submission/authors-kit.
Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers
or notes will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without
review. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference
automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
