I will co-organise a Dagstuhl Seminar on Federated Cloud Infrastructures. I initiated this seminar to put additional focus on the security and interoperability challenges of connecting multiple clouds. This this topic is also addressed by my TClouds Project, this seminar aims at creating a broader scientific community discussing these challenges.

The organisers of this seminar are:

  • Matthias Schunter (IBM Research – Zürich, CH)
  • Marc Shapiro (UPMC – Paris, FR)
  • Paulo Verissimo (University of Lisboa, PT)
  • Michael Waidner (Fraunhofer SIT – Darmstadt, DE)
  • Rüdiger Kapitza (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, DE)

The seminar is invitation only and nearly fully booked. If you are interested in being invited, please send me your CV and a short note on your expertise and your potential contributions.
We will then consider you when distributing the remaining seats (no guarantees though).

We have organized a Workshop on Cryptography and Security in Clouds. The workshop was well received. We had about 110 participant with a fair share of participants from industry:

“The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in cryptography and security, from academia and industry, who are interested in the security of current and future cloud computing technology. The workshop considers the viewpoint of cloud-service providers as well as the concerns of cloud users. The goal is to create a dialogue about common goals and to discuss solutions for security problems in cloud computing, with emphasis on cryptographic methods.

Invited speakers:

  • Giuseppe Ateniese, Johns Hopkins University, USA
  • Ari Juels, RSA, The Security Division of EMC, USA
  • Benny Pinkas, Bar Ilan University, Israel
  • Thomas Ristenpart, UCSD and University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
  • Rodrigo Rodrigues, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), Germany
  • Radu Sion, Stony Brook University, USA”

The workshop is co-sponsored by the EU Projects and .
