CALL FOR PAPERS

9th Workshop on Security and High Performance Computing Systems
(SHPCS 2014)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of
The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation 
(HPCS 2014)
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/

July 21 - July 25, 2014
The Savoia Hotel Regency
Bologna, Italy 


SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 28, 2014


Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, 
or posters


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Providing  high  performance  computing and  security is a challenging 
task.    Internet,  operating  systems  and  distributed  environments 
currently suffer from  poor security support and  cannot resist common 
attacks.  Adding security measures typically degrade performance. This 
workshop addresses relationships between security and high performance 
computing systems in three directions.  
First,  it considers how  to add security properties  (authentication, 
confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control)  to  high 
performance  computing  systems  and how they can be formally verified 
both at design-time  (formal verification)  and at run-time  (run-time 
verification).  In this case, safety properties can also be addressed, 
such as availability and fault tolerance for high performance computing 
systems.   Second,  it  covers  how  to  use high performance computing 
systems to solve security problems.    For instance, a grid computation 
can break an encryption code,  a cluster  can support  high performance 
intrusion detection or a distributed formal verification system.   More 
generally,   this  topic  addresses  every  efficient  use  of  a  high 
performance   computing   systems  to  improve  security.    Third,  it 
investigates the  tradeoffs  between maintaining  high performance  and 
achieving  security  in  computing systems and solutions to balance the 
two objectives.   In all these directions, various formal analyses,  as 
well as  performance analyses or monitoring techniques can be conducted 
to show the efficiency of a security infrastructure.  

The workshop  seeks  submissions from  academia and industry presenting 
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of computer and 
network security, as well as case studies and implementation experiences.  
Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, 
application, or operation of secure systems.  

The  Workshop topics  of interest include  (but are not limited to) the 
following:  
*	Access Control
*	Accounting and Audit
*	Anonymity
*	Applied Cryptography

*	Security for Specific Domains (e.g., E-Government, E-Business, P2P)
*	Security in IT Outsourcing
*	Security in Mobile and Wireless Networks
*	Security in Untrusted & Adversarial Environments and Systems
*	Security in Operating Systems
*	Security Location Services
*	Security of Grid and Cluster Architectures
*	Security Visualization

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
You  are  invited  to  submit original and unpublished research works on 
above and other topics related to Security in HPC. 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 7 pages using the two-column IEEE format.    Additional 
pages will be charged additional fee.     
Short papers  (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to 
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/home/posters for the submission details) will 
also  be  accepted  for submission.   Please include page numbers on all 
preliminary  submissions  to make it  easier  for  reviewers  to provide 
helpful comments.  

Submit a  PDF  copy of your full manuscript using the  Workshop EasyChair 
submission link at  https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=shpcs2014

Only PDF files will be accepted, submitted via the link above. 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.  

PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will 
be made available  at  the  time  of the meeting.   Instructions for final 
manuscript  format  and  requirements will  be  posted  on  the  HPCS 2013 
Conference web site.    The proceedings is projected to be included in the 
IEEE Digital Library and indexed accordingly.

SPECIAL ISSUE
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an  extended  version 
of their work for a special issue in an ISI Journal (the last special issue 
has been published in the Future Generation Computer Systems, Elsevier).
