ACM CCSW'16 seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research, as well as experimental studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• secure cloud resource virtualization
• secure data management outsourcing
• practical privacy and integrity mechanisms for outsourcing
• cloud-centric threat models
• secure outsourced computation
• remote attestation mechanisms in clouds
• sandboxing and VM-based enforcement
• trust and policy management in clouds
• secure identity management mechanisms
• cloud-aware web service security paradigms and mechanisms
• cloud-centric regulatory compliance issues and mechanisms
• business and security risk models for clouds
• cost and usability models and their interaction with cloud security
• scalability of secure clouds
• trusted computing technology and clouds
• analysis of software for remote attestation and cloud protection
• network security (DoS, IDS, etc.) mechanisms for clouds
• security for cloud programming models
