Introduction
====================
Information technology issue is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm
with user-centric environment to provide computing and communication services.
In order to realize IT advantages, it requires integrating security and data management
to be suitable for future computing environments. However, there are still many
problems and major challenges waiting for us to solve such as the security risks
in resource sharing, which could be occurred when data resources are connected and
accessed by anyone. Therefore, it will be needed to explore more secure and
trust and intelligent data management mechanism.
The STA 2014 addresses the various theories and practical applications of secure and
trust computing and data management in future environments. It will present important
results of significant value to solve the application services and various problems
within the scope of STA 2014. In addition, we expect it will trigger further related
research and technology developments which will improve our lives in the future.
The STA 2014 is the next edition of STA 2013 (Fukouka, Japan, 2013),STA 2012 (Gwangju, Korea, 2012),
STA 2011 (Loutraki, Greece, 2011).
