Built upon the success of spectrum of conferences within the IEEE World Congress on Services, the Security and Privacy Engineering (SPE 2013) workshop is a unique place to exchange ideas of engineering secure systems in the context of service computing or cloud computing. The emphasis on engineering in security and privacy of services differentiates the workshop from other traditional prestigious security and privacy workshops, symposiums and conferences. The practicality and value realization are examined by practitioners from leading industries as well as scientists from academia.

In line with the engineering spirit, we solicit original papers on building secure service systems that can be applied to government procurement, digital medical records, cloud environments, social networking for business purposes, multimedia application, mobile commerce, education, etc. Potential contributions could cover e.g. methodologies, tools or testing. We also welcome review papers that analyze critically the status of current Security and Privacy (S&P) in a specific area. Papers from practitioners who encounter security and privacy problems and seek understanding are also welcome.

Topics of interests of SPE 2013 include, but are not limited to:

- Validation and verification of S&P in clouds and services
- Applied cryptography for S&P in clouds and services
- Governance and management of S&P in clouds and services
- Testing of S&P in clouds and services
- Assessment, Auditing, and Certification of S&P in clouds and services
- Risk and legal compliance of S&P in clouds and services
- Education and awareness of S&P in clouds and services

Paper submission

Authors are invited to submit full papers (about 8 pages) or short papers (about 4 pages) as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (download Word templates or LaTeX templates). The submitted papers can only be in the format of PDF or WORD. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare your papers, respectively. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. All papers must be submitted via the confhub submission system for the SPE workshop.

First time users need to register with the system first (see these instructions for details). All the accepted papers by the workshops will be included in the Proceedings of the Ninth IEEE 2013 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2013) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
