CALL FOR PAPERS
After successful Internet attacks on HPC centers worldwide, there has
been a paradigm shift in cluster security strategies. Clusters are no
longer thought of as just a collection of individual computers but
rather as an integrated single unit in which any breach may result in a
"class break" compromise of the entire cluster. Furthermore, it has also
been shown that clusters communicating via grids create dependent risks
between clusters such that any cluster compromise may cascade to effect
an entire grid.
This forum seeks to stimulate new ideas in order to reshape cluster
protection strategies. The 1st Cluster-Sec Workshop held in May 2005
focused on cluster security as a new paradigm. This 2nd Cluster-Sec
Workshop in 2006 focuses on cluster security in the context of on-demand
or utility computing where fluctuating demand for resources are
allocated dynamically either within a single cluster or across multiple
clusters. If cluster security was complex for the relatively static case
of batch scheduling then considering this additional dynamic over time
increases the challenge. A variety of solution approaches may be
appropriate including prevention, monitoring, measurements, mitigation,
and recovery.
Papers with demonstrated results will be given priority. Two categories
of papers will be considered: Long Paper (12 page maximum) and
Work-In-Progress/Short Paper (6 page maximum). A list of potential
topics includes but is not limited to the following:
* secure on-demand computing (single machine)
* secure multi-cluster computing (a single job spread across clusters)
* cluster security as an emergent property
* analysis of cluster attacks
* new techniques to protect clusters
* virtualization approach for secure cluster computing
* visualizing cluster security
* commercial grade cluster security
* high availability clusters
* reliability enhancement techniques for large clusters
* fault detection in clusters
* cluster rejuvenation
* cluster failover
* cluster survivability/recoverability
* cluster-specific intrusion detection
* the relationship between cluster security and grid security
* cluster security vulnerabilities
* cluster security best practices
* storage clusters
* storage security on clusters
* storage survivability on clusters
