Cloud Computing has generated interest from both industry and academia since 2007. As an extension of Grid Computing and Distributed Computing, Cloud Computing aims to provide users with flexible services in a transparent manner. Services are allocated in a “cloud”, which is a collection of devices and resources connected through the Internet. Before this paradigm can be widely accepted, the security, privacy and reliability provided by the services in the cloud must be well established.

CloudSec’2011 will bring researchers and experts together to present and discuss the latest developments and technical solutions concerning various aspects of security issues in Cloud Computing. CloudSec’2011 seeks original unpublished papers focusing on theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system architecture construction and design, experimental studies, and social impacts of Cloud Computing. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are expected.

CloudSec’2011 also welcomes short papers related to Security in Cloud Computing, which summarize speculative breakthroughs, work-in-progress, industry featured projects, open problems, new application challenges, visionary ideas, and preliminary studies.

The topics include but not limited to:

•        Emerging threats to cloud-based services

•        Security models for new services

•        Cloud-aware web service security

•        Information hiding in Cloud Computing

•        Securing distributed data storage in the cloud

•        Privacy and security in Cloud Computing

•        Forensics

•        Robust network architecture

•        Cloud Infrastructure Security

•        Job deployment in the Cloud

•        Intrusion detection/prevention

•        Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and defense

•        Robust job scheduling

•        Secure resource allocation and indexing

•        Secure payment for cloud-aware services

•        User authentication in cloud-aware services

•        Security for emerging cloud programming models
