The 7th International Workshop on Security, Privacy and Performance in Cloud Computing (SPCLOUD 2018) CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 16th International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2018) July 16 – 20, 2018 Orléans, France Paper Submission Deadline: April 16, 2018 - Extended Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Cloud computing is transforming the way large-scale computation is performed. Dynamic scalability or “elasticity” provided by the cloud make high-performance computing accessible to everyone. However, cloud computing introduces new challenges with respect to security and privacy. Although virtualization addresses some of these concerns, it has a significant impact on performance: the actual gains in performance depend heavily on the predictability of physical and virtualized resources. Consequently, the balancing of performance against security and the adaptation of HPC or VLDB techniques to cloud computing are of strategic importance and will have long-lasting scientific impact. The 7th SPCLOUD workshop brings together researchers and IT practitioners, to present new results and ongoing work on the themes of security, privacy, and performance in the cloud. The SPCLOUD Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
