is for a short paper, indicate that as well.
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Collaboration relies on distributed systems that combine different
resources, often provisioned on-demand for the duration of the mission
or project, and that typically interact through the Internet. Security
is a fundamental aspect of collaboration systems in order to ensure
normal un-interruptible reliable operation. Nowadays, collaborative
systems use new technologies such as mobile devices, smartcards,
wireless networks, high performance networks, cloud and grid
computing, multi-agent systems. These environments introduce new
needs, requirements and difficulties related to security. Hence,
besides the well known threats of systems exposed on the internet,
collaborative systems and technologies face several challenges in the
field of security.
This Symposium on Security in Collaboration Technologies and Systems,
to be held as part of the 2015 International Conference on
Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2015), will focus on
security issues related to collaboration systems with emphasis on
secure and trustworthy distributed environments, Grid and Cloud based
resource virtualization and on-demand provisioning, multi-agent
systems, mobile and wireless cooperation, cybersecurity and encryption
for collaboration. The aim is to have a dedicated forum that fosters
closer interactions among researchers and users communities, providing
an excellent opportunity for them to meet and discuss their ideas. The
symposium will address issues related to the security infrastructure
and services design, implementation and operation. It intends to
address new security challenges and present new ideas and solutions
addressing modern security requirements, specific methods of access
control that should allow large scale multi-organizational
cooperation, use of mobile technologies and smartcards, enabling
intrusion detection, system recovery and healing in the context of
cooperative systems.
We invite original contributions from researchers in academia,
research institutions and industry on these emerging and important
cybersecurity areas of information technology.
Selected papers will be solicited from the best papers of SECOTS 2015
sessions for submitting an extended version of their papers to a
special issue in a leading international journal.

Fundamentals and Frameworks for Security in Collaboration Systems
