SAPSE 2017 - 9th IEEE International COMPSAC Workshop on Security Aspects in Processes and Services Engineering

The area of processes and services engineering is a very attractive field for innovative research, particularly in recent years, when the outsourcing of business processes on the cloud has become a popular paradigm for both small and big companies. The outsourcing of data, services, processes and infrastructures on remote platforms provided by third parties is posing new, important challenges, especially considering the security aspects, since the resulting software systems are expected to function correctly and resist also to malicious attacks under different changing threat scenarios. New techniques and methodologies are needed to be able to build better, more robust and more trusted systems, where security is taken into account and integrated in the whole design process since the very first stages.
Scope of the Workshop:
Researchers and practitioners all over the world, from both academia and industry, working in the areas of process engineering, service-oriented computing and security, cloud security are invited to discuss state of the art solutions, novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools for the development and use of secure service oriented systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Trust, security and privacy in service-oriented and cloud-based systems
Secure business process composition
Security of business processes over the cloud
Risk management in business processes
Trust and policy management in clouds
Service dependability, survivability, and reliability
Design and development of secure service oriented systems
Security specification of service oriented systems
Certification of cloud-based and service oriented systems
Verification, validation and testing of security properties of service oriented systems
