Introduction

E-Science and e-Research, through development of Grid computing and Cloud 
computing based e-Infrastructures, can be used to support a wide range of 
research disciplines and inter-disciplinary research. In recent years, the 
influence of e-Science and e-Research has grown considerably and their scope of 
applications now covers many research domains, from science and engineering 
disciplines such as physical, biological, clinical sciences and so on, through 
to the arts and humanities and social sciences. Supporting e-Science and 
e-Research often places numerous demands on capabilities associated with Grid 
and Cloud infrastructures. One key challenge is with regard to security. 
Security technologies must support a variety of user requirements and provider 
requirements such as authentication, authorization, trust, privacy, policy 
management, and information assurance, all in a user and provider friendly 
framework. Many e-Science and e-Research projects have developed distinctive 
security analyses, requirements, and technical solutions for a variety of 
applications.

Following the success of ISSR-11 (held in Changsha, China, in conjunction with 
IEEE TrustCom-11), ISSR-10 (held in Taipei, Taiwan, in conjunction with IEEE 
ISPA-10) and ISSR-09 (held in Chengdu, China, in conjunction with IEEE 
ISPA-09), the workshop intends to provide a forum for researchers, developers 
and users working on security issues associated with e-Science and e-Research 
to exchange ideas and share experiences. The workshop has emphasis on 
establishing a state-of-the-art for security in e-Science and e-Research, 
identifying challenges and discussing solutions for successfully enabling 
security for e-Science and e-Research. The workshop program will be a blend of 
presentations of research papers, and discussions about the current status, 
emergent areas, and trends on security-related issues in e-Science and 
e-Research.

We solicit original papers reporting a wide spectrum of topics related to 
security in e-Science and e-Research. Topics of interest include but are not 
limited to:

Eliciting security requirements for e-Science & e-Research applications as well 
as Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Analysis of security challenges, threats, risk and issues in e-Science & 
e-Research as well as Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Security architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for Grids & Clouds and 
applications on e-Science & e-Research
Models and techniques for authentication and identity management in Grid & 
Cloud infrastructures
Models and techniques for authorization and access control in Grid & Cloud 
infrastructures
Trust model and management for Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Privacy mechanisms and management for Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Policy models and policy management in Grid & Cloud infrastructures
Information assurance for e-Science & e-Research applications
Security issues and solutions for data providers and data users in Grid & Cloud 
infrastructures
Model and frameworks for security-driven workflows in Grid & Cloud 
infrastructures
Network security mechanisms for Grids & Clouds contexts

Supporting end-end security solutions for e-Science & e-Research
User-driven security models for e-Science & e-Research
Software engineering best practice in the development of Grid & Cloud security 
infrastructures
Experiences and case studies on the practical applications of security models 
and solutions in e-Science & e-Research


Submission Guideline

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original 
unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the 
workshop. The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for 
overlength charges (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two 
columns, single-spaced, 10-point font), including figures and references. You 
can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Author Guidelines at the following Web 
page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting

Once accepted the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings 
published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the 
authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper.
