Message from SecureSysComm 2015 Workshop Chairs

Welcome to the first International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Systems and Communication Networks (SecureSysComm 2015), which is held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3GPCIC) at Krakow, Poland from November 4th to 6th, 2015. Modern society witnesses a growing pervasiveness of sophisticated computer-based systems and increasingly performance communication networks, whose influence in daily life is huge. Complexity, heterogeneity, scale and interdependence shown by such systems are source of potential vulnerabilities and threats. The Workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on theoretical and practical spects of data protection, privacy, security, and cryptography. Papers describing new methods or technologies, advanced rototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. In particular, the Workshop topics include: inspection and forensics technologies, threat and vulnerability identification and modelling, wireless communications security, network-centric systems and dependability, information security, encryption, privacy, access control and identity management, security and privacy protection mechanisms, cyber-physical threats, vulnerability analysis, and countermeasures, biometrics security and privacy, critical infrastructure protection, formal methods for security, human factors and human behaviour recognition techniques, identification, authentication and non-repudiation, security and privacy in pervasive/ubiquitous computing, security and privacy in smart grids, security and privacy in social networks, security and privacy in the cloud, SLA security in the cloud, security weaknesses and protection of energy-control facilities, energy consumption attacks. For SecureSysComm 2015, we have accepted 11 papers, which will be presented in two sessions. Many people contributed to the success of SecureSysComm 2015. First, we would like to thank the organizing committee of 3GPCIC 2015 International Conference for giving us the opportunity to organize the workshop. Second, we would like to thank our program committee members. Moreover, we would like to thank all the authors of the workshop for submitting their research works and for their participation. Finally, we would like to thank the Local Arrangement Chairs for the 3GPCIC conference. We hope you will enjoy SecureSysComm workshop and 3GPCIC International Conference, and have a great time in Krakow, Poland.
