You are invited to submit a paper for the 1st Annual Workshop on Advances in Secure Software Deployments (ASOD 2024). The workshop is taking place in Vienna, Austria 30 July to 02 August 2024 as part of the 18th Annual ARES conference (The International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security). Workshop guidance and link to official website for submission listed below.


Workshop details
Securely deploying software applications and systems onto diverse production environments is a constantly evolving landscape. New security requirements are continuously proposed along with routine review and revisions of existing ones. Target production environments benefit from cutting edge technology resulting in the inclusion of new hosting platforms and its associated challenges to successful deployments. The ability to build and sustain deployment environments that can address automation, security, rapid deliveries, continuous build and deploy routines, is constantly evolving requiring both novel and improved upon approaches. The Advances in Secure Software Deployments workshop (ASOD) is focused on presenting and discussing the latest in novel and applied research and practice, along with experiential findings covering all areas of secure deployments of software and systems to diverse production environments. The workshop aims to converge a community of researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in advancing the state of the art. Submissions from academia and industry covering cutting edge approaches, novel findings, and practitioner insights are welcomed.
