Second International Workshop on Autonomic Cloud Cybersecurity (ACC 2015)
 Cambridge, MA, USA, September 21, 2015

Call for Papers

Benefits of the cloud have been widely publicised. Cloud computing services offer cost
effective, scalable, and reliable outsourced platforms. To benefit from economies of
scale, cloud architectures are homogenized to use only a small variety of applications and
operating systems. As a result, because of the size of the Cloud, the implications for
discovery of vulnerabilities are high. Security is often cited as a main challenges facing
cloud computing. The focus of this workshop is to offer a discussion forum about
autonomous cybersecurity systems, which offer viable and well-suited solutions for cloud
threat prediction, detection, mitigation, and prevention.

We are soliciting original and unpublished results of ongoing research projects, emerging
trends, uses cases, and implementation experiences in autonomous cloud cybersecurity
systems and solutions.

The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  *   Self-protection techniques of computing systems, networks and applications
  *   Performance evaluation and metrics of self-protection algorithms
  *   Metrics to characterize and quantify the cybersecurity algorithms (confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of autonomic systems)
  *   Anomaly behavior analysis and discovery of autonomic systems and services
  *   Data mining, stochastic analysis and prediction of autonomic systems and
applications
  *   Datasets and benchmarks to compare and evaluate different self-protection
techniques
  *   Autonomic prediction of cyber crime
  *   Cloud cryptographic systems
  *   Autonomous cyber threat mitigation methods
  *   Cloud security protocols
  *   Automated cloud security analysis
  *   Cloud cybersecurity tools
