About STAM:
Distributed computer networked systems and services have become a crucial infrastructure element for the organization of modern society. These networks and services are required to be more and more open and new technology is designed to facilitate the inter-operation between these networks composed of heterogeneous, communicating devices. Since the environment may be potentially hostile and contain malicious components, it is crucial to define frameworks adapted to distributed systems to enforce security and privacy.
The STAM workshop tries to answer how vulnerability, intrusions and attacks modeling can help users understand the occurrence of malicious behaviors in order to avoid them, and what are the advantages and drawbacks of the existing models. At the same time, the workshop tries to understand how to solve the challenging security testing and monitoring problem given that testing distributed systems is a complex task and security will add new challenges and difficulties to be solved.  

Topics of Interest:
Security testing in distributed systems
Security testing in distributed systems
Security monitoring in distributed systems
Testing techniques in distributed systems: Fuzz, regression, mutation, safety and robustness etc.

General Chairs :
Ana Rosa Cavalli (Montimage/Telecom SudParis)
Wissam Mallouli (Montimage, France)

Paper Selection Procedure:
Full papers (6 pages) and short papers (2 pages) are requested in IEEE two-column format. Also, demonstrations of security testing tools (4 pages) and project success stories are solicited. Each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Easychair platform is used for the submission and review process.
The STAM workshop proceedings are expected to be published in the IEEE ICDCS Proceedings.
