1st International Workshop on Trust for the Converged Cloud and Internet of Things (CCIoT 2015) Friday, 29th May, 2015 http://computing.derby.ac.uk/~asma/workshops/CCIOT2015/index.html Cloud and IoT technologies are converging to provide an edge-cloud platform to meet the requirements for scale, flexibility and heterogeneity necessary for the realisation of the smart applications that are required to effectively manage societal growth in the 21st century. Softwarisation of IoT facilitates the creation of new 'Sensing as a Service' business models based on virtualised sensor networks (formed by combining individual, physical or virtualised, sensors from different networks into an overlay virtual sensor network). The consequent convergence of technologies and business models creates significant security and trust challenges. This highlights the need to develop a holistic security architecture and methodology that leads to a comprehensive and trustable vision of CCIoT. The goal of this workshop is to gather researchers to identify discuss and present results related to security, privacy and trust challenges for CCIoT environments. Organising committee
Data Protection, Privacy, and Transparency Workshop (DPPT'15) Friday, 29th May, 2015 https://sites.google.com/site/dppt2015/home The protection of personal data and users' privacy is a major concern especially with technology advances that make the data accessible from anywhere. Research often focuses on the security of data and the prevention of data breaches. However, privacy and data protection extends beyond security mechanisms and links to several other concerns that relate not only to technological aspects but also societal and regulatory aspects that can affect greatly how we protect our data and maintain user privacy in the process. One major concern is lack of transparency on data protection measures taken by service providers and how these handle customer and consumer data. This affects consumers' trust for new technologies (e.g. cloud eco-system). Another concern comes from the recent Snowden revelations regarding state access to data held by private enterprises without the knowledge of those whose data it concerned (PRISM, TEMPORA). In all, a pressing question is how transparent information processing actually is, especially, when it comes to processing of personal data in complex environments, like cloud ecosystems. Companies need more than ever to prove to businesses and consumers how they handle their confidential and personal data. Transparency and accountability are gaining attention as a result. This workshop aims at bringing researchers from different disciplines to discuss recent advances in privacy-enhancing technologies, transparency, and accountability mechanisms. Security experts are needed to develop technical tools that will implement data protection in practice, by promoting accountability and transparency to the benefit of individuals and companies. Data protection experts are needed to indicate exactly what needs to be done and to ensure that technical tools actually comply with fundamental requirements set by law. The workshop will run for a full day with an invited talk from a Data Protection Authority in Germany (to be confirmed). Organising committee
