The Westin, Seattle, US
In conjunction with 37th International Conference on Very Large Databases
http://www.vldb.org/2011/
Call for Papers:
The 8th SDM workshop builds upon the success of the first seven workshops
(SDM'04, SDM'05,
SDM'06, SDM'07, SDM'08, SDM'09, SDM'10), which were organized in conjunction
with VLDB
2004 in Toronto, Canada, VLDB 2005 in Trondheim, Norway, VLDB 2006 in Seoul,
Korea,
VLDB 2007 in Vienna, Austria, VLDB 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand, VLDB 2009
in Lyon,
France and VLDB 2010 in Singapore.
Motivation
Although cryptography and security techniques have been around for quite
some time,
emerging technologies such as ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence
that exploit
increasingly interconnected networks, mobility and personalization, put new
requirements
on security with respect to data management. As data is accessible anytime
anywhere,
according to these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized
data access.
Furthermore, it becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal
information and
endanger people's privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure data
management is
of growing importance, attracting attention of both the data management and
security
research communities The interesting problems range from traditional ones
such as,
access control (with all variations, like dynamic, context-aware,
role-based), database
security (e.g. efficient database encryption schemes, search over encrypted
data, etc.),
privacy preserving data mining to controlled sharing of data.
This year, we will continue with tradition to have special sessions. We will
organize a
special session on trustworthy cloud computing together with Oxford and
Darmstadt
University in the context of the EU FP7 TClouds project (
http://www.tclouds-project.eu/).
We also intend to organize an additional special session on trust in digital
life with
the partners of this consortium (http://www.trustindigitallife.eu/).
Aim
The aim of the workshop is to bring together people from the security
research community and data management research community in order to
exchange ideas on the secure management of data. The workshop will provide
forum for discussing practical experiences and
theoretical research efforts that can help in solving the critical problems
in secure data management. Authors from both academia and industry
are invited to submit papers presenting novel research on the topics of
interest (see below).
Format of the Workshop and Proceedings
The workshop will be organized in conjunction with the VLDB 2011 conference.
Topics
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Secure Data Management
- Database Security
- Data Anonymization/Pseudonymization
- Data Hiding
- Metadata and Security
- XML Security
- Authorization and Access Control
- Data Integrity
- Privacy Preserving Data Mining
- Statistical Database Security
- Control of Data Disclosure
- Secure Stream Processing
- Private Information Retrieval
- Secure Auditing
- Data Retention
- Search on Encrypted Data
- Digital and Enterprise Rights Management
- Multimedia Security and Privacy
- Private Authentication
- Identity Management
- Privacy Enhancing Technologies
- Security and Semantic Web
- Security and Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing
- Security and Privacy of Health Data
- Web Service Security
- Trust Management
- Policy Management
- Applied Cryptography
Format of the workshop and proceedings
The workshop is organized in conjunction with the VLDB conference.
Provisional program:
1. Presentation of papers with discussions
2. Special session on trustworthy cloud computing: Cloud computing enables
outsource of ICT services to leverage scalable shared computing,
communication,
and storage infrastructures that are provided by third party enterprises.
Typical categories of cloud computing include Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). Major
benefits
of cloud computing include scalability, cost reduction, data availability,
reliability and resilience. However, moving ICT infrastructure and personal
data to the cloud can pose severe threats to security and privacy. Clouds
may
involve additional insider attacks or become a single point of failure.
Consequently, secure data management solutions need to be promoted to
address
the emerging security and privacy risks.
Organizers: Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi, Darmstadt University; Imad Abbadi, Oxford
University;
Deng Mina, Philips Research
3. Special session on Trust in Digital Life followed by a short panel
discussion of
the speakers
Our intention is to publish the proceedings in the Springer-Verlag Lecture
Notes on Computer
Science series as it was done for the first seven workshops. Additionally,
we
also would like to select the best papers with the intent to publish their
extended and
revised versions in a special edition of a journal (as it was done for the
SDM 2006&2007
workshop with the Journal of Computer Security).
Paper submission
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are
not being
considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be
submitted
electronically as PDF or PS files via email to
al_sdm05 at natlab.research.philips.com
Full papers should not exceed fifteen pages in length (formatted using the
camera-ready
templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science).
We also encourage submitting position statement papers describing research
work in
progress or lessons learned in practice (max six pages). Submissions must be
received
no later than May 22, 2011. Please check the workshop page for further
information and
submission instructions: http://www.extra.research.philips.com/sdm-workshop/
Duration: 1-day workshop
Important dates
Submission deadline: May 22, 2011
Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 1, 2011
Final versions due: July 1, 2011
Workshop: September 2, 2011
