Check out CCSW 2012 ! Notwithstanding the latest buzzword (grid, cloud, utility computing, SaaS, etc.), large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to stay. How exactly they will look like tomorrow is still for the markets to decide, yet one thing is certain: clouds bring with them new untested deployment and associated adversarial models and vulnerabilities. It is essential that our community becomes involved at this early stage. The CCSW workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in all security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing, including:
Student Stipends Student stipends are available to attend CCSW. Please apply on the CCS website (direct link here) and mention CCSW as your target workshop. We plan on awarding 5-10 student travel grants (a function also of the quality of the applications). Don't forget to mention CCSW as your workshop of choice if you'd like to be considered by us. Also please explain why you are a good fit to attend the workshop.

Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. Both research and position/vision/white papers are invited. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All authors and their affiliations must be listed. Each accepted paper must be presented by one registered author. Please submit your paper here. Proposals for panels are also solicited. The proposals are to be concise, up to 2 pages in length, describe the handled topics, name potential panelists and briefly scope the panel for CCSW. Disruptive and controversial panels are particularly encouraged.

He's and active member of the Internet Engineering Task Force and was the lead designer of IKEv2, the key management protocol for IPsec. He is author of the popular textbook: "Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World". John Manferdelli Intel Senior Principal Engineer John Manferdelli is co-lead of the Intel Science and Technology Center for Secure Computing. Previously, he was a distinguished engineer at Microsoft where he ran the Extreme Computing Group (XCG) System, Security, and Quantum Computing research group. His group performed research on computer security, cryptography, and quantum computing. In his role there, he also advised product groups on security and cryptography. He joined Microsoft in 1995 when his company, Natural Language, Inc., was acquired by them. Before that he held various positions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Bell Labs, the University of Washington, and the Stevens Institute of Technology.
