About SRMC

Advances in cloud computing systems in recent years have led to the development of applications based on the microservices architecture to meet the high performance requirements of systems using the cloud. This architecture includes a complex application structure that consists of services that exist as independent entities and interact with each other through specific APIs. Microservice architecture frequently uses a structure called container, which is much lighter and faster than virtual machines in the cloud. The rapid digital transformation experienced in recent years has led to the widespread use of container-based application structures, and software-defined network models have been proposed for the agile management of container networks in the last 2-3 years. The proliferation of container networks has revealed the potential of exposing these networks to many cyberattacks caused by the malicious capture of endpoints such as IoT devices. Security and reliability studies for containers and microservices are much needed due to the increasing prevalence of this architecture pattern, considering the fact that next generation wireless networks such as 5G and 6G will also mainly rely on containers for virtualized functions in the cloud, and secure and reliable operation is of utmost importance for many of the use cases to be supported.

SRMC'22 will be the first in a new workshop series on achieving reliable and secure microservices and containers.
