May 17 - 21, 2010
The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Workshop on Collaboration and Security (COLSEC 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
Submission Deadline: January 25, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Collaboration relies on distributed systems that combine different resources, often
provisioned on-demand for the duration of the mission or project. Security services
are an important component of the collaboration infrastructure that ensures normal
uninterruptible reliable operation of the collaborative systems. The open Internet
and networking environment, over which the modern collaborative systems operate, impose a
number of common and specific security threats and attacks (spamming, worms, session
hijacking, buffer overflow, denial of service, social engineering, etc.).
Collaborative organizations require better security properties (strong authentication,
efficient encryption, Mandatory Access Control, integrity, non-repudiation and
availability). Nowadays, collaborative organizations use new technologies such as
mobile devices, smartcards, wireless networks, high performance networks, cloud and grid
computing, multi-agent systems. These environments introduce new needs, requirements
and difficulties related to security. Hence, collaborative organizations and
technologies face several challenges in the field of security.
This Workshop on Security and Collaboration, to be held as part of the 2010 International
Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010), will focus on security
issues related to collaborative systems with emphasis on distributed environments, Grid
and cloud based resource virtualisation and on-demand provisioning, multi-agent systems,
mobile and wireless cooperation. The aim is to have a dedicated workshop that
fosters closer interactions among researchers and users communities, providing an
excellent opportunity for them to meet and discuss their ideas. The workshop will
address issues related to the security infrastructure and services design, implementation
and operation. It intends to address new security challenges and present new ideas
and solutions addressing modern security requirements, specific methods of access control
that should allow large scale cooperation, use of mobile technologies and smartcards,
enable intrusion detection, system recovery and healing in the context of cooperative
systems.
We invite original contributions from researchers in academia, research institutions and
industry on these emerging and important areas of information technology.
Selected papers will be solicited from the best papers of COLSEC 2010 sessions for
submitting an extended version of their papers to a special issue in a leading
international journal.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited
to) the following
:
- Frameworks for Security in Collaborative Systems
- Security of Grid and Cluster Architectures Supporting Cooperative Applications
- Security Models for Emerging Cloud Computing
- Access Control in Collaborative Environments
- Role Based Access Control, Reputation, and Trust

- Security for Specific Collaboration Domains (e.g., e-Government, e-Business, Public Services, P2P, e-Social Security, Medical Collaboration, etc.)
- Virtual Organizations and Dynamic Security Associations
- Trust and Reputation Management in Dynamic Environments
- Web Services Security
- Security in Collaborative Multi Agent Systems
- Secure Collaborative Agents
- Using Multi Agent Systems for Security

PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other
topics related to security in collaboration systems. Submitted papers must not have
been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a
cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and
email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to
6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.
The full manuscript should be at most 10 pages using the two-column IEEE format.
Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Please include page numbers on
all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Electronic
submissions will be accepted only in PDF format uploaded at
www.univ-orleans.fr/lifo/Manifestations/COLSEC/
. For other electronic formats, please check with the organizers.
Only PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the workshop organizers. Each
paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on
their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if
accepted. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be
registered and presented at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings. Instructions for
final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2010 Symposium web site
later. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft
copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected
to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed accordingly.
