CALL FOR PAPERS
Cloud and Trusted Computing (C&TC 2020)
http://www.otmconferences.org
==========================================================================



===========
Description
===========

Today's software systems cover a very wide range of application domains, technologies, and research issues. This has been realized through Cloud Computing, Big Data, and IoT. Security, privacy, trust, and risk management are vital elements in such information systems. Cloud and Trusted Computing (C&TC 2020) is organized as part of the OnTheMove Federated Conferences & Workshops that will be held exclusively online.

The conference solicits submissions from both academia and industry presenting novel research in Security, Trust, Privacy, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, IoT, and related topics. Potential contributions could cover new approaches, methodologies, protocols, tools, or verification and validation techniques. We also welcome review papers that analyze critically the current status of trust, security, privacy and risk management in the Cloud, Big Data, and IoT. Papers from practitioners who encounter security, privacy, trust, and risk management problems are also welcome.

FULL PAPERS
Regular paper submissions to Cloud and Trusted Computing (C&TC 2020) must present original research in one or more of the themes given above. Full papers must break new ground, present new insight, deliver a significant research contribution and provide validated support via results and conclusions. Each paper must be submitted as a single PDF file in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format (no longer than 18 pages in length). Accepted regular papers will be included in the conference main proceedings and presented in the paper sessions. Submissions to C&TC 2020 must not be under review by any other conference or publication at any time during the C&TC review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere.

SHORT PAPERS
Short papers (no longer than 8 pages in length) must report new results and provide support for the results, as a novel and valuable contribution to the field. Short papers must be submitted as single PDF file in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. Accepted short papers will be published in the conference main proceedings and will be presented in the online paper sessions of the conference.
