IEEE 2013 International Workshop on Service Security and Assurance Perspectives (WOSSAP 2013)

Date: Jun 27, 2013 – Jul 02, 2013
Location: Santa Clara Marriott, CA, USA

One day workshop between June 27 and July 2, 2013, at Santa Clara Marriott, CA, USA (Center of Silicon Valley).

Held as part of the 2013 IEEE 9th World Congress on Services (IEEE SERVICES 2013).
**************************************************************************************************************************

Current trends in the IT industry suggest that future software systems
will be very different from their counterparts today, due to greater
adoption of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and the popularization
of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) paradigm.

These trends point to large-scale, heterogeneous ICT infrastructures
hosting applications that are dynamically built from loosely-coupled,
well-separated services, where key non-functional properties like
security, privacy, efficiency and reliability will be of increased and
critical importance.

Basic security protocols for Web Services, such as XML Security, the
WS-* series of proposals, SAML, and XACML, along with numerous on-going
activities targeting new SaaS scenarios, can provide a basic set of
building blocks enabling Web Services and Cloud Computing to operate
securely. While some of these building blocks are now firmly in place
and the on-going work progresses at a fast pace, a number of challenges
are still to be met for ensuring the security and trust of these
scenarios. One relevant aspect is the change in the underlying model of
application and service provision. Current trust models in relation to
application provision, deployment, operation and control are not
well-adapted for these scenarios. Actors, stakeholders,
responsibilities, capabilities, liabilities of traditional computing
scenarios, as well as their relations, have changed in these new
scenarios, requiring new trust relationships to be established and
verified at runtime during application set-up and operation.

In this line certification and other assurance approaches become crucial
for establishing the necessary trust relationships. Current
certification schemes, however, are either insufficient in addressing
the needs of such scenarios or not applicable at all and thus, they
cannot be used to support and automate run-time security assessment.
Likewise, novel testing mechanisms, engineering approaches, formal
modelling paradigms, monitoring models, runtime support infrastructures,
secure dynamic application building and service orchestration
approaches, etc. are needed in order to fill other gaps and to restore
the missing trust links in these new scenarios. The workshop will
provide a forum for presenting research results, practical experiences,
and innovative ideas in web services security.
Topics of interests of WOSSAP 2013 include, but are not limited to:

     Security certification for services
     Assurance mechanisms for services
     The role of Trusted Computing in securing Web services
     Frameworks for managing, establishing and assessing
         inter-organizational trust relationships
     Inter-organizational security policy alignment and reconciling
     Trust negotiation mechanisms
     Testing mechanisms and techniques for web services
     Formal modeling of service-based systems
     Privacy certifications for services
     Secure and trusted service provisioning
     Support for assurance, certification and accreditation
     Secure dynamic application building and service orchestration
         approaches
     Semantics-aware Web service security and Semantic Web
         Secure orchestration of Web services
     Web services and cloud computing security

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.

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 Ninth IEEE 2013 World Congress on
Services (SERVICES 2013) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
