Instructions for authors:

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel for consideration of any other journal, conference/workshop with proceedings. The submission should begin with a title followed by a short abstract and keywords. Submissions must be in PDF format and should have at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and appendices, and at most 20 pages in total, using at least 11-point fonts and with reasonable margins. All submissions must be anonymous. The reviewers are not required to read appendices-the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers should guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present their paper. Paper submission and review process is handled via EasyChair platform. All submissions must be in PDF format. For paper submission follow the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=secitc2017

As the final accepted papers will be published in LNCS by Springer, it is recommended that the submissions be processed in LaTeX2e according to the instructions listed on the Springer’s LNCS Webpage: www.springer.com/lncs. These instructions are mandatory for the final papers.

In particular, Springer’s LNCS paper formatting requirements can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0

9th VLDB Workshop on Secure Data Management (SDM 2012)

http://www.hitech-projects.com/sdm-workshop/sdm12.html

with special session on trustworthy cloud computing

August 27, 2012

Istanbul, Turkey

In conjunction with 38th International Conference on Very Large Databases

http://www.vldb2012.org/

The 9th SDM workshop builds upon the success of the first eight workshops, which were

organized in conjunction with VLDB 2004 in Toronto, Canada, VLDB 2005 in Trondheim,

Norway, VLDB 2006 in Seoul, Korea, VLDB 2007 in Vienna, Austria, VLDB 2008 in

Auckland, New Zealand, VLDB 2009 in Lyon, France, VLDB 2010 in Singapore and

VLDB 2011 in Seattle, USA.

Motivation

Although cryptography and security techniques have been around for quite some time,

emerging technologies such as ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence that exploit

increasingly interconnected networks, mobility and personalization, put new requirements

on security with respect to data management. As data is accessible anytime anywhere,

according to these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized data

access. Furthermore, it becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal

information and endanger people’s privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure

data management is of growing importance, attracting attention of both the data

management and security research communities. The interesting problems range from

traditional ones such as, access control (with all variations, like dynamic, context-aware,

role-based), database security (e.g. efficient database encryption schemes, search over

encrypted data, etc.), privacy preserving data mining to controlled sharing of data.

This year, we will continue with tradition to have special sessions. We will organize a

special session on trustworthy cloud computing in the context of the EU FP7 TClouds

project (http://www.tclouds-project.eu/) and Trust in Digital Life initiative

(http://www.trustindigitallife.eu/).

Aim

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people from the security research

community and data management research community in order to exchange ideas on

the secure management of data. This year we intent to organize two special sessions

with the focus on trustworthy cloud computing and trust in digital life. The workshop will

provide forum for discussing practical experiences and theoretical research efforts that

can help in solving the critical problems in secure data management. Authors from both

academia and industry are invited to submit papers presenting novel research on the

topics of interest (see below).

Topics

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

–              Secure Data Management

–              Database Security

–              Data Anonymization/Pseudonymization

–              Data Hiding

–              Metadata and Security

–              XML Security

–              Authorization and Access Control

–              Data Integrity

–              Privacy Preserving Data Mining

–              Statistical Database Security

–              Control of Data Disclosure

–              Private Information Retrieval

–              Secure Auditing

–              Trustworthy Cloud Computing

–              Search on Encrypted Data

–              Digital and Enterprise Rights Management

–              Multimedia Security and Privacy

–              Private Authentication

–              Identity Management

–              Privacy Enhancing Technologies

–              Security and Semantic Web

–              Security and Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing

Format of the workshop and proceedings

It is proposed to organize the workshop in conjunction with the VLDB conference.

Provisional program:

1.            Invited Talk

2.            Presentation of papers with discussions

3.            Special sessions

It is the intention to publish the proceedings in the Spinger-Verlag Lecture Notes on

Computer Science series as it was done for the first seven workshops. Additionally, we

also want to select the best papers with the intent to publish their extended and revised

versions in a special edition of a journal (as it was done for the SDM 2006 and 2007

workshops with the Journal of Computer Security).

Paper submission

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being

considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be submitted

electronically as PDF or PS files via email to al_sdm05@natlab.research.philips.com

Full papers should not exceed fifteen pages in length (formatted using the camera-ready

templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science).

We also encourage submitting position statement papers describing research work in

progress or lessons learned in practice (max six pages). Submissions must be received

no later than May 1, 2012. Please check the workshop page for further information and

submission instructions: http://www.extra.research.philips.com/sdm-workshop/

Duration: 1-day workshop

Important dates
