International Journal of Organizational and Collective Intelligence (IJOCI), suggested deadline, end of Feb 2015: http://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers-special/international-journal-or… Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD) for Enterprise Security in Big Data (ESiBD-2015), suggested deadline or later (with permissions granted): http://www.ronpub.com/index.php/journals/ojbd/special-issues/upcoming-speci… If your paper will be accepted following our vigorous review process, those who submit early will get waiver from OJBD. Those who submit to IJOCI, will be based on the first-come-first serve basis. Details about the scope, topics, our motivation and impacts of our research contributions are available at the end of this email. For those who are interested to visit our social network sites to see our recent events, activities and visions, you can go to: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ES2014ECs2015 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Enterprise-Security-international-workshop-… Twitter: https://twitter.com/ES_ESaaSA_works Many thanks again for your considerations and interests. Happy New Year! Thanks and regards. Dr. Victor Chang, Editor-in-Chief, OJBD and IJOCI Scope: Enterprise security is the key to achieving global information security in business and organizations. Cloud computing is a new paradigm for enterprise where businesses need to be secured. However, this new trend needs to be more systematic with respect to cloud security, which is a factor in sustaining cloud technology by building-in trust. For example, current challenges with cyber security and application security flaws are highlighting important lessons to be learned and also lead to the adoption of best practices. Similarly, as the demand for cloud services increases, the importance of security and privacy will also increase. One solution is to develop a framework for enterprise security to analyze and model organizational security of the cloud and its data. In particular, cloud data and cloud storage technologies (Amazon s3, drop box, Google drive, etc.) have now become normal practice for almost every computing user. This can explain why building trust for cloud users is one of the main focuses of cloud computing research. On the other hand, the social, human and business aspects of enterprise security are essential to users to keep their skills, business concepts and policies up-to-date. By maintaining all these aspects of security, organizations can develop an enterprise security solution to work together with business models, such as cloud provider enterprise model and cloud consumer enterprise model. In this way, enterprise security can address technical and organizational aspects of security to provide added value and win-win situations for users, adopters and service providers. By blending technical and organizational aspects of security, our workshop can provide a platform for intellectual discussions and interactions. To highlight the significance of enterprise security and disseminate research contributions in cloud community, we welcome papers addressing technical (implementations, algorithms, experiments, simulation, modeling and prototypes) and organizational (information system related issues, recommendation and best practices, frameworks, risks) issues. Topics: Algorithms, software engineering and development System design and implementation Testing (software; penetration; product development) Encryption, access control, identity management Experiments of using security solutions and proof-of-concepts Large-scale simulations in the Cloud and Big Data Intrusion and detection techniques Risk Modeling, business process modeling Trust and privacy Data security, disaster recovery Data center management Adoption challenges and recommendation Risk management and control Business models Change management Information systems related issues Conceptual frameworks and models Emerging issues and recommendations for organizational security E-Commerce and online banking Social network analysis, emerging issues in social networks Education and e-Learning Surveys and their quantitative analysis Architecture (technical or organizational) Case studies The focus of this workshop is to present new techniques, demonstrations, innovative approaches and case studies related to Enterprise Security. The impacts of research contributions are as follows. - Explain how to implement enterprise security and their added values. - Demonstrate how enterprise security can be used in different case studies. - Describe how to resolve challenges in each adoption scenario. - Provide reproducible steps for anyone to follow, and support reproducibility, an important aspect in Cloud Computing science. - Explain how their Cloud services can work effectively in production and real-time - Present how their services can make contributions to users involved in the use of Cloud services and adoption. - Sum up and disseminate all the lessons learned and recommendation to play an influential role in academia and industry.

Call for Papers CLHS15 : Second Workshop on the Changing Landscape in HPC Security
by Scott Campbell 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

Second Workshop on the Changing Landscape in HPC Security, 2015 Co-located with ACM HPDC June 15-16, Portland, OR, USA The intention of this workshop is to provide an arena for researchers and practitioners to share their recent advances in HPC security, to learn from one another, and to provide a vehicle for grassroots communication between these two communities regarding their respective data and theory needs. Important dates: Paper Submission Due: February 13, 2015 Notification of Acceptance: March 20, 2015 Camera Ready Version Due: April 1, 2015 Workshop: June 16, 2015 Overview: As user needs drive technological and organizational changes, providing effective and non-intrusive security within a HPC environment provides a number of challenges for both researchers and operational personnel. While the complexity of the aggregate system increases dramatically, the need for timely and accurate decision making about user activity remains unchanged. This growing complexity is balanced against a backdrop of routine user and application attacks, which remain surprisingly effective over time. This workshop will focus on the problems inherent in securing contemporary large-scale compute and storage systems. In particular we are looking at the unusual ecosystem that HPC provides - what makes it different than other large scale distributed computing environments and how this has driven how, where and why security is done. In addition we want to address the problem of high noise, low value attacks in the overall design and implementation of security services. What can be done to increase the effectiveness of attack detection when you are not just looking for scanners, IRC bots and spam relays? While these specific areas are interesting starting points for papers and presentations, any original and interesting topic will be considered. Web Site: https://commons.lbl.gov/display/CLHS/CLHS+2015 Workshop Format and Topics The format of the workshop will be a combination of research/state of the art papers, as well as discussion sections where specific topics will be brought up. This format is intentional as to provide the maximum opportunity for communication between researchers and analysts. Besides the general class of problems described in the overview, we invite the submission of original work that is related to the topics below. The papers can be either short (4 pages) position papers, or long (8 pages) research papers. Accounting and Audit Authentication Cloud Security Data and Application Security Data/System Integrity Database Security Identity Management Intrusion and Attack Detection Intrusion and Attack Response Secure Networking Secure System Design Security Monitoring & Management Security in Untrusted & Adversarial Environments and Systems Security of Grid and Cluster Architectures Security Visualization Please note that these example topics are in the context of the unique set of problems and difficulties within the HPC space. For the State of of the Practice papers, the focus will be on the resolution of specific issues - ideally those identified in the Overview section, but really any significant problem which is endemic to the HPC domain. Within the paper an explanation and exploration of the issue, resolution description and a numerical analysis showing that the proposed issue resolution was successful. In addition to the paper presentations, there will be one or two discussion sessions as well. Submission instructions: Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages (including all text, figures, and references), as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (document templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library. Submission site for papers is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clhs2015 Organizers Scott Campbell, National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), LBNL, USA Adam Slagell, National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), USA Programme Committee TBD Please contact me at scampbell(a)lbl.gov with any additional questions or problems. thanks! scott
