Information on Security Technologies (ST) Workshop

Data and systems in the information age are highly dependent on the networks and information infrastructure to support their business and workflow activities. Technical challenges exist in many areas to support a secure ubiquitous, distributed infrastructure and Internet networking environment.  including challenges in Role Based Access Control, Application of Principle of Least Privilege in a distributed environment, single-user sign-on and credential authentication/ authorization in a distributed application setting.  In addition to such technical challenges, social awareness and legal framework are far from adequate in provide the necessary support for such business model. The aim of this workshop is to bring in experts from those diverse areas in order to address the above challenges in a consorted effort.

This workshop will focus on the problems and challenges relating to security technologies that support secure computing and information sharing in collaborative architectures. We aim to bring together principal players from the security community working in the area of networks, systems and information security as well as non-technical areas such as social and legal aspects of enterprise security.

Papers are requested for submission on Security Issues in Collaborative Enterprise Technologies. Topics to be discussed include but are not restricted to the following areas described below.

Information on All WETICE-2007 Workshops

WETICE is an annual, international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration.  WETICE-2007 will consist of a number of workshops on different topics related to collaboration technology.
What sets WETICE apart from larger conferences is that the workshops are kept small enough to promote fruitful discussions on the latest technology developments, directions, problems, and requirements. Each workshop will include paper presentations and working group discussions, keynote sessions and a final joint session to summarize each groups' findings.

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of three people. The accepted papers and the summary report produced by each group will be published in the post-conference proceedings and directly mailed to the registered authors by the IEEE Computer Press after the conference.

Please note that each accepted paper must have at least one author register and present the paper at WETICE-2007 to get the paper published in the Proceedings.

All submitted papers are limited to 6 (six) total pages in length.
