Held in conjunction with the
12th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-12)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Basic security protocols for Web Services, such as XML Security, the WS-* series of proposals, SAML, and XACML are the basic set of building blocks enabling Web Services and the nodes of GRID architectures to interoperate securely. While these building blocks are now firmly in place, a number of challenges are still to be met for Web services and GRID nodes to be fully secured and trusted, providing for secure communications between cross-platform and cross-language Web services. Also, the current trend toward representing Web services orchestration and choreography via advanced business process metadata is fostering a further evolution of current security models and languages, whose key issues include setting and managing security policies, inter-organizational (trusted partner) security issues and the implementation of high level business policies in a Web services environment. The SWS workshop explores these challenges, ranging from the advancement and best practices of building block technologies such as XML and Web services security protocols to higher level issues such as advanced metadata, general security policies, trust establishment, risk management, and service assurance.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Web services and GRID computing security
Authentication and authorization
Frameworks for managing, establishing and assessing inter-organizational trust relationships
Web services exploitation of Trusted Computing
Semantics-aware Web service security and Semantic Web Secure orchestration of Web services
Privacy and digital identities support
Authors of the best SWS 05 papers will be invited to submit their work to a special issue of the Journal of Computer Systems Science and Engineering (JCSSE)

Submission instructions:
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published
or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with
proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and
well marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on
letter-size paper). Committee members are not required to read appendices, and
so the paper should be intelligible without them.
Papers should have a cover page with the title, authors, an abstract (300 word
maximum) and contact information.
Submissions should be made electronically in PDF or portable Postscript format
at the SWS05
