DEADLINE EXTENSION


2005 ACM Workshop on Secure Web Services (SWS)
November 11, 2005
George W. Johnson Center at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA
Held in conjunction with the
12th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-12)


CALL FOR PAPERS 

Basic security protocols for Web Services, such as XML Security, the WS-* 
series of proposals, SAML, and XACML are the basic set of building blocks 
enabling Web Services and the nodes of GRID architectures to interoperate 
securely. While these building blocks are now firmly in place, a number of 
challenges are still to be met for Web services and GRID nodes to be fully 
secured and trusted, providing for secure communications between 
cross-platform and cross-language Web services.  Also, the current trend 
toward representing Web services orchestration and choreography via 
advanced business process metadata is fostering a further evolution of 
current security models and languages, whose key issues include setting 
and managing security policies, inter-organizational (trusted partner) 
security issues and the implementation of high level business policies in 
a Web services environment. The SWS workshop explores these challenges, 
ranging from the advancement and best practices of building block 
technologies such as XML and Web services security protocols to higher 
level issues such as advanced metadata, general security policies, trust 
establishment, risk management, and service assurance.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

-Web services and GRID computing security
-Authentication and authorization
-Frameworks for managing, establishing and assessing inter-organizational 
trust relationships
-Web services exploitation of Trusted Computing
-Semantics-aware Web service security and Semantic Web Secure 
orchestration of Web services
-Privacy and digital identities support

Submission instructions:

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been 
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a 
conference with proceedings. 
Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well 
marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on 
letter-size paper). Committee members are not required to read appendices, 
and so the paper should be intelligible without them.

Papers should have a cover page with the title, authors, an abstract (300 
word maximum) and contact information.

Submissions should be made electronically in PDF or portable Postscript 
format at the SWS05 submission address:
