Proceedings of the 19th ACM symposium on Access control models and technologies

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 19th ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT 2014). This year's symposium continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results on leading edge issues of access control, including models, systems, applications, and theory, with an expanded scope to include cyber-physical systems, applications, systems, hardware, cloud computing, and usability. 58 papers have been submitted from a variety of countries around the world. Submissions were anonymous; each paper has been reviewed by at least four reviewers who are experts in the field. Extensive online discussions took place to make the selections for the symposium. The program committee finally accepted 17 papers that cover a variety of topics, including Privacy & Compliance, Policy Management & Enforcement, Systems & Information Flow, Policy Analysis, and Applications. The program again contains two demo sessions with four demos covering topics such as risk aware role mining, privacy, attribute based access control, and integrity in Linux. In addition, the program includes a panel on the challenges of access control in new computing domains, such as mobile, cloud, and cyber-physical systems, and two keynote talks by Dr. Ari Juels and Dr. Andrew Clement. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for security researchers and developers.
