Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to address the challenges of self-adaptive privacy in cloud computing environments (CCE). Under the Cloud-InSPiRe project, the aim is to provide an interdisciplinary framework and a beta-version tool for self-adaptive privacy design, effectively focusing on the integration of technical measures with social needs. To address that, a pilot taxonomy that aligns technical, infrastructural, and social requirements is proposed after two supplementary surveys that have been conducted, focusing on users' privacy needs and developers' perspectives on self-adaptive privacy. Through the integration of users' social identity-based practices and developers' insights, the taxonomy aims to provide clear guidance for developers, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and fostering a user-centric approach to self-adaptive privacy design tailored to diverse user groups, ultimately enhancing satisfaction and confidence in cloud services.

Keywords: cloud computing environments; developer insights; information disclosure; privacy; protection strategies; self-adaptive; sociotechnical requirements.
