Introduction
E-Science and e-Research, through development of Grid computing and Cloud
computing based e-Infrastructures, can 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
applications 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 Grid
and Cloud infrastructures. One key challenge is with regard to security.
Security technologies must support a variety of user requirements and provider
requirements such as authentication, authorization, trust, privacy, policy
management, and 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.
Following the success of ISSR-11 (held in Changsha, China, in conjunction with
IEEE TrustCom-11), ISSR-10 (held in Taipei, Taiwan, in conjunction with IEEE
ISPA-10) and ISSR-09 (held in Chengdu, China, in conjunction with IEEE
ISPA-09), the 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
presentations of research papers, and discussions about the current status,
emergent areas, and trends on security-related issues in e-Science and
e-Research.
We solicit original papers reporting a wide spectrum of topics related to
security in e-Science and e-Research. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
Eliciting security requirements for e-Science & e-Research applications as well
as Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Analysis of security challenges, threats, risk and issues in e-Science &
e-Research as well as Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Security architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for Grids & Clouds and
applications on e-Science & e-Research
Models and techniques for authentication and identity management in Grid &
Cloud infrastructures
Models and techniques for authorization and access control in Grid & Cloud
infrastructures
Trust model and management for Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Privacy mechanisms and management for Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Policy models and policy management in Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Information assurance for e-Science & e-Research applications
Security issues and solutions for data providers and data users in Grid & Cloud
infrastructures
Model and frameworks for security-driven workflows in Grid & Cloud
