The increasing usages of Web-based technologies have enabled numerous benefits in people’s daily life, from mobile social applications to heterogeneous high performance computing. The implementations of the Internet-related solutions are considered one of the important approaches for enterprises to grow their businesses. However, novel mechanisms using networking techniques also introduce new threats harming users’ privacy information and operations. Two critical aspects in Web security are cyber security and cloud computing. IEEE CSCloud 2016 focuses on these two aspects and aims to gather recent achievements in cyber security and cloud computing fields. The conference invites those papers that concentrate on new paradigms, algorithms, and applications in cyber security or cloud computing. We also encourage researchers and practitioners to build up the connections between academia and industry.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
New paradigms in cyber security
Emerging attack methods
Digital forensics and privacy issues in cloud computing
Cyber monitoring approaches
Big data security strategy
Big data security issues in social networks
Social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing
Security and fault tolerance for embedded or ubiquitous systems
Cloud users’ privacy information protection
Critical issues and solutions of Cyber security in tele-health
Cyber security in mobile embedded systems
New security cloud computing model, framework, and application
Heterogeneous clouds and vulnerabilities
Secure methods for heterogeneous cloud resource sharing
Green cloud computing mechanisms
Cloud-based audio/video streaming techniques
Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques
Case studies for cyber security applications
New attack methods and applications
Cloud-based sensor network and security issues
