Call for Papers for IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems Special Issue on "Trust, Security and Privacy in Parallel and Distributed Systems"
In modern computing paradigms, most computing systems, e.g. cluster computing, grid computing, cloud computing, the Internet, telecommunication networks, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and Machine-to-Machine communication networks (M2M), are parallel and distributed systems. While providing improved expandability, manageability, efficiency and reliability, parallel and distributed systems increase their security weaknesses to an unprecedented scale. As the system devices are widely connected, their vulnerabilities are shared by the entire system. Because tasks are allocated to, and information is exchanged among the system devices that may belong to different users, trust, security and privacy issues have yet to be resolved. The purpose of the proposed Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems is to publish recent advances in trust, security and privacy for emerging parallel and distributed systems, with emphasis on the following aspects, but certainly not limited to: (1) Trust: policy semantics, metrics and models; trusted computing platform; trusted network computing; trusted operating systems; trusted software and applications; trust in cloud computing/CPS/M2M/social networks; trust in e-commerce and e-government; trust in mobile and wireless communications; risk and reputation management; survivable computer systems/networks; and trust management. (2) Security related issues: computer security; network security; database security; Web applications security; security policy, model and architecture; authentication, authorization and accounting; security in cloud computing/CPS/M2M/social networks; security in mobile and wireless communications; security in parallel and distributed systems; and miscellaneous security issues. (3) Privacy related issues: privacy in Web-based applications and services; privacy in database systems; privacy in e-commerce and e-government; privacy in network deployment and management; privacy in cloud computing/ CPS/M2M/social networks; privacy in mobile and wireless communications; privacy in parallel and distributed systems; and miscellaneous privacy issues.
