CALLS FOR PAPERS
2004 ACM Workshop on Secure Web Services (SWS)

Date: October 29th, 2004
Place: George W. Johnson Center at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA,
USA
(Held in conjunction with the Eleventh ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (CCS-11))
Web page: http://ra.crema.unimi.it/SWS/index.htm

Important Dates:
Paper submissions due: July 30, 2004
Acceptance notifications: August 31, 2004
Camera-ready papers due: September 30, 2004

The main security protocols for Web Services, such as XML Security, WS
Security, SAML, and XACML are now available or close to completion. Soon,
we will have a basic set of building blocks for securing Web services and
GRID computing. However, a number of challenges are still to be met for
Web services and GRID nodes to be fully secured and trusted.  Also, the
trend toward representing Web services semantics via Semantic Web
standards such as RDFS and OWL is fostering the evolution of current
security models and languages to deal with secure and trusted Web services
orchestration. The SWS workshop explores these challenges, ranging from
the advancement and best practices of building block technologies such as
XML and Web services security protocols to higher level issues such as
advanced metadata, trust establishment, risk management, and service
assurance. This workshop continues the successful series of XML Security
Workshop.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Web services and GRID computing security
- Authentication and authorization
- Trust establishment and management
- Semantics-aware Web service security and Semantic Web
- Secure orchestration of Web services
- Privacy-and digital identities support
- Security ontologies
- Platform trust (Web services exploitation of Trusted Computing)
