Distributed computing is undergoing a radical paradigm shift, with cloud computing and service orientation enabling new business models based upon seamless provision of dynamically scalable, virtualized resources as services to be made available over the cloud, to be accessed via a web browser. For this vision to be realized, a number of problems need to be solved, involving the nuts-and-bolts of virtualization as well as the reliability, scalability, privacy, security and transparency of cloud computing. This conference provides a forum for discussion of these topics, and linkage between these potentially diverse areas. Consequently, the major topics of interest of DOA-Trusted Cloud 2013 are "Cloud Data Management", "Cloud Computing Infrastructures and Architectures", "Cloud Computing Applications", and "Security and Trust in Cloud Computing". All submitted papers passed through a rigorous selection process. In the end, we decided to accept 5 regular papers from the original 17 submissions, grouped them into 2 sessions, "Technical Advances in Cloud Computing" and "Towards Trusted Cloud Computing", and additionally incorporated an also peer-reviewed special session "Privacy for the Cloud" containing 4 papers into the final program.
