The Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing is an international annual venue dedicated to secure and reliable computation in the so-called global computers, i.e., those computational abstractions emerging in large-scale infrastructures such as service-oriented architectures, autonomic systems, and cloud computing.


Highlights:
- Parallel submission to CONCUR 2014 allowed (see submission instructions below)
- Keynote speakers: Véronique Cortier (CNRS, France) and Catuscia Palamidessi (INRIA Saclay and LIX, France)
- Deadline for abstract submission: May 2 2014


The TGC series focuses on providing frameworks, tools, algorithms, and protocols for rigorously designing, verifying, and implementing open-ended, large-scaled applications. The related models of computation incorporate code and data mobility over distributed networks that connect heterogeneous devices and have dynamically changing topologies.


We solicit papers in all areas of global computing, including (but not limited to):


- languages, semantic models, and abstractions
- security, trust, and reliability
- privacy and information flow policies
- algorithms and protocols
- resource management
- model checking, theorem proving, and static analysis
- tool support


Important dates


- Deadline for abstract submission: May 2 2014
- Deadline for paper submission: May 9 2014 (STRICT!)
- Notification to authors: June 27 2014

Submission instructions


Contributions must be in PostScript or PDF format and consist of no more than 15 pages in the Springer's LNCS style. Clearly marked appendixes may include additional details and proofs omitted due to space limitations.


Submitted papers must describe work unpublished in refereed venues, and not submitted for publication elsewhere, with the exception of CONCUR. Concurrent submissions to CONCUR 2014 and TGC 2014 are allowed, and in fact encouraged, for those papers that may potentially enhance both conferences. Authors of such double submissions should flag them to the program chairs at the time of submission (by choosing the ’Regular Paper submitted to CONCUR’ paper category). Reviews may be shared between CONCUR and TGC. CONCUR's timeline is ahead of TGC's; submissions accepted by CONCUR will be considered automatically withdrawn from TGC.


We plan to publish post-proceedings shortly after the conference, to give the authors the opportunity to take into account discussions and suggestions at the conference.


The post-proceedings will appear as a volume in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
