Emerging distributed architectures (cloud, grid, web services,…) have very attractive features, they promise reduced cost of computation, application hosting and data storage and protection, but also high performance, high reliability and high security. Indeed, there is a significant complexity involved in ensuring that applications, services and data can scale when needed to ensure consistent and reliable services under peak loads or to guarantee quality and Service-Level Agreements (SLA). Cloud computing has recently emerged as natural evolution of traditional clusters and data center, customers are charged based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and transfer of data but, up to date, there is no way for the end-user to contract performances and security or to have guarantees about these. So, not only security and performance are open issues in these emerging architectures but there is the need of new benchmarks and metrics to be able to evaluate them and provide cloud of new opportunities. The primary focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policy makers that are now harnessing clouds in their respective fields to maximize performance and improve information security in emerging architectures and to exchange ideas and to learn the latest development in this important field.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
· secure cloud resource virtualization mechanisms
· secure computation outsourcing
· secure data management outsourcing
· practical privacy and integrity mechanisms for outsourcing
· identity management and federation mechanisms
· scalability of security
· security for emerging cloud programming models
· reliability of applications and services running on the cloud
· cloud threat models
· trust and policy management in clouds
· business and security risk models and clouds
· performance models in cloud computing, web services, grid
· emerging distributed architecture benchmarks
· performance of security mechanisms
· security and performance trade off in distributed architectures
· Service Level Agreement representation and verification
