Call for papers: CGC2012 - 2012 International Conference on Cloud and Green Computing, 1-3 Nov. 2012, Xiangtan, China. Website: http://kpnm.hnust.cn/confs/cgc2012/ *Theme: Cloud Computing and Big Data* Key dates: Submission Deadline: May 30, 2012 Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2012 Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. Special issues: Distinguised papers will be selected for special issues in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Future Generation Computer Systems; or International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications. =========== Introduction Cloud computing is positioning itself as a new emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can then provision and deploy these services in a pay-as-you-go fashion and in a convenient way while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructures. It has evoked a high degree of interest internationally with many challenges such as security and privacy remaining open. Green computing, in general, aims to enable computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. With dramatically increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have been scaled tremendously which results in huge amount of energy consumption, heat dissemination, greenhouse emission and even part of climate change. As such, green computing has come to the picture seeking solutions for computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. While customers can enjoy green atmosphere as well as cost saving and convenience because cloud computing accommodates their IT infrastructures in the cloud, how to green the cloud becomes increasingly challenging and extremely important in terms of global energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. CGC (Cloud and Green Computing) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud computing and Green computing as well as joint-venture and synergic research and development across both areas.

Call for Papers The Fifth International Workshop on Digital Forensics (WSDF 2012) http://www.ares-conference.eu/conf/index.php?option=com_content <http://www.ares-conference.eu/conf/index.php?option=com_content&view=articl e&id=49&Itemid=95> &view=article&id=49&Itemid=95 University of Economics, Prague August 20th-24th, 2012 To be held in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2012 - http://www.ares-conference.eu) Overview Digital forensics is a rapidly evolving field primarily focused on the extraction, preservation and analysis of digital evidence obtained from electronic devices in a manner that is legally acceptable. Research into new methodologies tools and techniques within this domain is necessitated by an ever-increasing dependency on tightly interconnected, complex and pervasive computer systems and networks. The ubiquitous nature of our digital lifestyle presents many avenues for the potential misuse of electronic devices in crimes that directly involve, or are facilitated by, these technologies. The aim of digital forensics is to produce outputs that can help investigators ascertain the overall state of a system. This includes any events that have occurred within the system and entities that have interacted with that system. Due care has to be taken in the identification, collection, archiving, maintenance, handling and analysis of digital evidence in order to prevent damage to data integrity. Such issues combined with the constant evolution of technology provide a large scope of digital forensic research. WSDF aims to bring together experts from academia, industry, government and law enforcement who are interested in advancing the state of the art in digital forensics by exchanging their knowledge, results, ideas and experiences. The aim of the workshop is to provide a relaxed atmosphere that promotes discussion and free exchange of ideas while providing a sound academic backing. The focus of this workshop is not only restricted to digital forensics in the investigation of crime. It also addresses security applications such as automated log analysis, forensic aspects of fraud prevention and investigation, policy and governance. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Digital Evidence * Network Forensics * Anti Forensics * Physical Memory Acquisition and Analysis * Digital Forensic Information Visualisation * Fraud Investigations Involving Technology * Portable Devices * Cyber Terrorism * Log Analysis * Risk and Incident Management * Investigative Case Studies * Data Hiding Techniques and Steganography * Novel Data Recovery Techniques * Digital Evidence Extraction Techniques * Digital Evidence Search Techniques * Standards, Guidelines, Certification and Training * Digital Forensics Tools * Digital Forensic Implications for Cloud Environments * Critical Infrastructure Incident Investigation Important Dates Submission Deadline: March 30th, 2012 Author Notification: May 1st, 2012 Conference: August 20th - 24th, 2012 Workshop Chairs .

The main goal of the workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between these two groups, which is currently perceived to be weak. Ultimately, we aim to make a start on bridging the gap between what academic cryptographers believe should be the goals of cryptographic design and what is actually implemented in the real world. MoCrySEn intends to provide a better understanding of real-world cryptographic issues to the theoretical community, helping to inform their research and set new research challenges for the theoretical community and enable practitioners to develop a clearer view of the current state-of-the-art in cryptographic research and what it offers to practitioners.
