International Workshop on Secure Cloud Services and Storage

The project is dedicated to a whole-day workshop on September 10, 2017. The main feature of the workshop is presentations from seven leading researchers (six confirmed so far) from different research institutions in France (2), US, Israel, Finland, Germany and Italy. The speakers come from a mix of academia and industry. We will also have one speaking slot featuring our IKTPLUSS project. The date and location are chosen to coordinate with the ESORICS international conference, sponsored by The Research Council of Norway. The workshop will take place the day before ESORICS starts and in the same location. We expect to attract around 40 participants and have capacity for up to 70. There will be no fee charged for participation which is open to all. We are targeting publicity at all members of the research community via (amongst others) the ESORICS website, the International Association for Cryptologic Research and personal connections. The plan also includes a dinner for all the invited speakers and all members of the research project to further give opportunities for interaction and planning for future collaboration.
