Special Session on
Secure and Intelligent Automation for Cloud and Edge Services - SIA-CES 2027

17 - 19 April, 2027 - Rome, Italy

Within the 17th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - CLOSER 2027


CHAIR

Richa Kumari
UPES, Dehradun
India

 

SCOPE

SIA-CES 2027 will bring together researchers, cloud engineers, security practitioners, service scientists, and industry professionals to examine how automation can be designed and operated securely across cloud, edge, multi-cloud, and cloud-continuum environments. The session will address the risks created when automated systems access cloud APIs, identities, credentials, data stores, orchestration platforms, service meshes, and external tools.
The session will explore secure orchestration, zero-trust architectures, identity and access management, confidential computing, privacy-preserving analytics, automated policy enforcement, runtime monitoring, explainability, incident response, and resilient service recovery. It will also consider data leakage, excessive permissions, insecure workflows, malicious automation, adversarial manipulation, supply-chain risks, regulatory compliance, accountability, and service-level assurance.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Trustworthy AIOps and Autonomous Cloud Operations
  • AI-Driven Cloud Monitoring, Observability, and Incident Response
  • Zero-Trust Automation Across Cloud-Edge Environments
  • Identity and Access Management for Automated Services
  • Least-Privilege Authorization and Secure Cloud API Automation
  • Data Leakage, Inference Attacks, and Privacy Risks in Cloud AI
  • Adversarial Attacks, Data Poisoning, and Model Manipulation
  • Secure Inter-Service and Machine-to-Machine Communication
  • Confidential Computing and Trusted Execution Environments
  • Privacy-Preserving and Federated Analytics Across Cloud-Edge Systems
  • Security of Serverless and Function-as-a-Service Platforms
  • Multi-Cloud Automation, Interoperability, and Governance
  • Cloud Network Security and Software-Defined Infrastructure Protection
  • AI-Driven Detection of Malware, Ransomware, Botnets, and DDoS Attacks
  • Cloud Digital Forensics and Automated Threat Intelligence
  • Explainable, Accountable, and Human-Supervised Automation
  • Cloud Compliance, Auditability, Quality of Service, and SLA Assurance
  • Security Benchmarks, Datasets, Cyber Ranges, and Testbeds
