SPE 2014 - IEEE 2014 Fourth International Workshop on Security and Privacy Engineering

Built upon the success of spectrum of conferences within the IEEE World Congress on Services , the Security and Privacy Engineering (SPE 2014) workshop is a unique place to exchange ideas of engineering secure systems in the context of service computing, cloud computing, and big data analytics. The emphasis on engineering in security and privacy of services differentiates the workshop from other traditional prestigious security and privacy workshops, symposiums, and conferences. The practicality and value realization are examined by practitioners from leading industries as well as scientists from academia.
In line with the engineering spirit, we solicit original papers on building secure service systems that can be applied to government procurement, digital medical records, cloud environments, social networking for business purposes, multimedia application, mobile commerce, education, and the like. Potential contributions could cover, but are not limited to, methodologies, protocols, tools, or verification and validation techniques. We also welcome review papers that analyze critically the status of current Security and Privacy (S&P) in a specific area. Papers from practitioners who encounter security and privacy problems and seek understanding are also welcome.
Topics of interests of SPE 2014 include, but are not limited to:
List of Topics
S&P Engineering of Service-Based Applications
Security Engineering of Service Compositions
Practical Approaches to Security Engineering of Services
Privacy-Aware Service Engineering
Industrial and Real Use Cases in S&P Engineering of (Cloud) Services

Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit full papers (about 8 pages) or short papers (about 4 pages) as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (download Word templates or LaTeX templates ). The submitted papers can only be in the format of PDF or WORD. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers, respectively. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. All papers must be submitted via the confhub submission system for the SPE workshop (TBD) .
First time users need to register with the system first (see these instructions for details). All the accepted papers by the workshops will be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE 10th World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2014) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
