Cloud computing is slowly turning towards an open ecosystem of services that can be mixed and matched according to the customers' individual requirements. In federated Clouds (or "clouds-of-clouds"), services will be picked not only from functionality, but also based on non-functional properties such as availability, performance, security and cost. The obvious downside is the lack of control; customers need to make sure that the composite services behave as expected and that the individual components from different providers can be trusted. To mitigate the security risks associated with federated Clouds, and to increase the trust in the individual providers, existing security mechanisms and their effectiveness should be formalized in contracts. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is a common way to explicitly state the obligations of the provider and to serve as a binding agreement between the service customer and the service provider. The SLA will help ensure that the service keeps the right level of quality and that customers are credited accordingly in terms of contract violations. This session will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers related to Cloud computing SLAs, with special focus on security. The topics of interests include (but are not limited to) Security mechanisms for Cloud computing Negotiation of security terms Machine-readable SLAs Monitoring and enforcement of security terms Security in hybrid/federated Clouds Cloud security governance This is the second edition of the CloudSecGov. The first edition, CloudSecGov 2012, took place during CLOSER 2012 and attracted a large number of high-quality speakers. The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), co-organized with the Aachen University (RWTH) and technically sponsored by the SINTEF and IFIP. INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). The purpose of the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science, CLOSER 2013, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the conference considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage, market and study various aspects of Cloud Computing. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All papers accepted to the Special Session will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library ( <http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/> http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef ( <http://www.crossref.org/> http://www.crossref.org/). CLOSER 2013 will be held in conjunction with WEBIST 2013 (9th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies - http://www.webist.org/), SMARTGREENS 2013 (International Conference on Smart Grids and Green IT Systems - <http://www.smartgreens.org/> http://www.smartgreens.org/) and CSEDU 2013 (International Conference on Computer Supported Education - <http://www.csedu.org/> http://www.csedu.org/) in Aachen, Germany. Registration to CLOSER will enable free attendance to any sessions of WEBIST, SMARTGREENS and CSEDU conferences as a non-speaker.
