ISSR 2009 - 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Security in e-Science and e-Research

The 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Security in e-Science and
e-Research (ISSR-2009), Chengdu and Jiuzhai Vally, China, 10-12 August 2009

------------
Introduction
------------
E-Science and e-Research can, through development of Grids and
e-Infrastructures be used to support a wide range of research
disciplines and inter-disciplinary research. In recent years, the
influence of e-Science and e-Research has grown considerably and their
scope of application now covers many research domains, from science and
engineering disciplines such as physical, biological, clinical sciences
and so on, through to the arts and humanities and social sciences.
Supporting e-Science and e-Research often places numerous demands on
capabilities associated with e-Infrastructures. One key challenge is
with regard to security. Security technologies must support a variety of
user and provider requirements such as authentication, authorization,
trust, privacy, policy management, information assurance all in a user
and provider friendly framework. Many e-Science and e-Research projects
have developed distinctive security analyses, requirements, and
technical solutions for a variety of applications.

This workshop intends to provide a forum for researchers, developers and
users working on security issues associated with e-Science and
e-Research to exchange ideas and share experiences. The workshop has
emphasis on establishing a state of the art for security in e-Science
and e-Research, identifying challenges and discussing solutions for
successfully enabling security for e-Science and e-Research.The workshop
program will be a blend of invited talks, presentations of research
papers, and discussions about the current status, emergent areas, and
trends on security-related issues in e-Science and e-Research.

Submissions
-----------
The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for IEEE
conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). Each accepted
paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with over length charge). Paper
should be submitted in PDF format via email to issr.workshop-AT-googlemail.com (Cc: wei DOT jie AT manchester DOT ac DOT uk).

The proceedings of this workshop will be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press (Indexed by EI). Authors of selected papers will be
invited to submit extended versions to high quality journals to be
announced.

Submitting a paper to the workshop means that if the paper is accepted,
at least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the conference and their affiliations will receive a notification.
