The 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Autonomic Cloud Cybersecurity (ACC
2014)

http://sesar.dti.unimi.it/ACC2014 

Part of

the IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC
2014)

Description

===========

 

Cloud computing services offer cost effective, scalable, and reliable
outsourced platforms. 

Cloud adoption is becoming rapidly ubiquitous; therefore, private and
sensitive data is being 

moved into the cloud. This move is introducing new security and privacy
challenges, which should 

be diligently addressed in order to avoid severe security repercussions. The
focus of this workshop 

is to offer a discussion forum about autonomous cybersecurity systems, which
offer viable and 

well-suited solutions for cloud threat prediction, detection, mitigation,
and prevention.

 

The workshop is part of the IEEE International Conference on Cloud and
Autonomic Computing (CAC 2014), 

and is collocated with The 8th IEEE Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing System
Conference and The 14th 

IEEE Peer-to-Peer Computing Conference. We are soliciting original and
unpublished results of ongoing 

research projects, emerging trends, uses cases, and implementation
experiences in autonomous cloud 

cybersecurity systems and solutions. 

 

================

Topics

================

 

The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

- Self-protection techniques of computing systems, networks and
applications.

- Performance evaluation and metrics of self-protection algorithms.

- Metrics to characterize and quantify the cybersecurity algorithms
(confidentiality, integrity, 

  and availability of autonomic systems)

- Anomaly behavior analysis and discovery of autonomic systems and services.

- Data mining, stochastic analysis and prediction of autonomic systems and
applications.

- Datasets and benchmarks to compare and evaluate different self-protection
techniques.

- Autonomic prediction of cyber crime.

- Cloud cryptographic systems.

- Autonomous cyber threat mitigation methods.

- Cloud security protocols.

- Automated cloud security analysis.

- Cloud cybersecurity tools.
