6th IEEE International Workshop on Security Aspects in Processes and Services Engineering

The workshop aims to foster cooperation among software practitioners and researchers in order to exchange the latest industrial experience and research ideas on the security of services and processes engineering. Theme of the Workshop: The area of processes and services engineering is a very attractive field for innovative research, particularly in the last years, when the outsourcing of business processes on the cloud has become a popular paradigm for both small and big companies. Using platforms provided by third parties as a remote runtime environment/infrastructure is posing new important challenges, especially considering the security aspects, since the resulting software systems are expected to function correctly and resist also to malicious attacks under different changing threat scenarios. New techniques and methodologies are needed to be able to build better, more robust and more trusted systems, where security is taken into account and integrated in the whole design process since the very first stages.
