[AISWorld] Call for Paper on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems

[Helmut Krcmar]

*Call for Paper*

DCCE'14 ? 1. Workshop on Dynamic Certification in Cloud Ecosystems

In conjuction with IEEE CloudCom 2014
http://2014.cloudcom.org/

*Abstract*

Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud 
infrastructures and ecosystems according to specific compliance 
catalogues. Subjects of cloud audits are typically the quality of 
processes and services, the level of security and data protection as well 
as other standardised checklists. Examples such as the EuroCloud Star 
Audit are based on CSA CCM, ISO 27001/27017, and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402.

Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every 
two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and 
needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches, 
processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and 
on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means 
getting the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting 
compliance rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical 
question from cloud customers nowadays: ?Is the cloud service continuously 
operating compliant to local data protection laws??

The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, 
administration and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) 
requirements from standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down 
to technical means that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a 
highly dynamic cloud environment in a (half-)automated way.
