17th IEEE International Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises Submission deadline extended to March 17, 2008 Date: June 23-25, 2008 Location: Angelicum University, Rome, Italy Sponsors: IEEE Computer Society; Concurrent Engineering Research Center (CERC) at West Virginia University, USA; in cooperation with WORKPAD

Welcome to WETICE-2008 Workshop on Security Technologies for Collaborative Architectures (ST) Data and systems in the information age depend on the networks and information infrastructure to support business and workflow activities. Supporting a secure, ubiquitous, distributed infrastructure and Internet networking environment is challenging, raising issues in role based access control, the application of the principle of least privilege in a distributed environment, single-user sign-on, and credential authentication and authorization in a distributed application setting. In addition to such technical challenges, social awareness and legal frameworks are far from adequate in providing the necessary support for business models in this type of environment. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from diverse areas in order to address the above challenges in a concerted 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-technicalareas such as social and legal aspects of enterprise security. We solicit papers on security issues in collaborative enterprise technologies. Topics to be discussed include but are not restricted to the areas described below.

Information on All WETICE-2008 Workshops

WETICE is an annual, international forum for state-of-the-art research in enabling technologies for collaboration. WETICE-2008 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 group’s 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-2008 to get the paper published in the Proceedings.

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