Cloud computing is transforming the way large–scale computation is performed. Dynamic scalability or –elasticity– provided by the cloud make high–performance computing accessible to everyone. However, cloud computing introduces new challenges with respect to security and privacy. Although virtualization addresses some of these concerns, it has a significant impact on performance: the actual gains in performance depend heavily on the predictability of physical and virtualized resources. Consequently, the balancing of performance against security and the adaptation of HPC or VLDB techniques to cloud computing are of strategic importance and will have long–lasting scientific impact.<br>The 7th SPCLOUD workshop brings together researchers and IT practitioners, to present new results and ongoing work on the themes of security, privacy, and performance in the cloud.<br>The SPCLOUD Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:<br>– Secure Mobile Clouds<br>– Reliability and Security of Cloud Environments<br>– Monitoring for Cloud–Based Applications<br>– Cryptography and Crypto–Protocols for Cloud Computing Systems<br>– Parallel Computing With Cloud–Based Systems<br>– Very Large Databases In The Cloud: Transactions, Backup, Security, Scalability<br>– Security and Virtualization<br>– Risk Management in Cloud Computing Environments<br>– Usability and Human Centered Security for Clouds<br>– Trusted Data Sharing and Shared Technology Issues<br>– Untrusted Cloud Servers and Networks<br>– Privacy Protection in Cloud Platforms and Operations<br>– Autonomic Security in Cloud Computing<br>– Intercloud Security Issues and Considerations<br>– Insecure Interfaces and APIs<br>– Insiders Threats<br>– Security Models for New Services<br>– Services Hijacking<br>– Interoperable Identity Management<br>– Information Hiding in Cloud Computing<br>– Forensics in the Clouds<br>– Cloud Infrastructure Security<br>– Use of Cloud Systems for Scalable High–performance Computing<br>– Performance Overhead of Virtualization<br>– Monitoring of Cloud Systems, Alerts for Resource Consumption<br>– Identification and Privacy in Clouds<br>– Secure Mobile Clouds and Privacy Management<br>
