CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2006 The 21st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing April 23 - 27, 2006, Dijon, France http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2006/ Track: Trust, Recommendations, Evidence and other Collaboration Know-how (TRECK) Proceedings: ACM printed form, ACM CD-ROM, ACM digital library and IJI Journal special issue (printed and online ISSN)! Aims and scope of the TRECK track: Computational models of trust and mechanisms based on the human notion of trust have been gaining momentum. One reason for this is that traditional security mechanisms are challenged by open, large scale and decentralised environments. The use of an explicit trust management component goes beyond security though. The goal of the ACM SAC 2006 TRECK track remains to review the set of applications that benefit from the use of computational trust. Computational trust has been used in reputation systems, risk management, collaborative filtering, social/business networking services, dynamic coalitions and virtual organisations. The TRECK track covers all computational trust applications, especially those used in real world applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Recommender and reputation systems Trust-enhanced collaborative applications Tangible guarantees given by formal models of trust and risk Trust metrics assessment and threat analysis Pervasive computational trust and use of context-aware features Trade-off between privacy and trust Trust/risk-based security frameworks Automated collaboration and trust negotiation Trust in peer-to-peer systems Technical trust evaluation, especially at the identity level Impacts of social networks on computational trust Evidence gathering and management Real-world applications, running prototypes and advanced simulations Applicability in large-scale, open and decentralised environments Legal and economic aspects related to the use of trust engines User-studies and user interfaces of computational trust applications Submission guidelines are posted on the TRECK 2006 website (http://www.trustcomp.org/treck/), which always contains the latest updates. Authors are invited to submit full papers about original and unpublished research. A paper cannot be submitted to more than one track. We would like to encourage the submission of industrial experience reports and reports of innovative computing applications. The body of each paper should not exceed 4,000 words. Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing. At least three reviewers will be assigned to each submission to the TRECK track. IMPORTANT DUE DATES Aug. 2, 2005: Submission of the extended abstract of the full paper (500 words maximum; this deadline may be extended) Sep. 3, 2005: Full paper submission Oct. 15, 2005: Author notification Nov. 5, 2005: Camera-ready copy Apr. 23-27, 2006: SAC in Dijon Conference Venue: Dijon is the historical capital of the province of Burgundy (i.e., Bourgogne). Therefore, there are many cultural places and old monuments to visit. The region of Dijon is also famous for its cuisine: Coq au Vin, Beef Bourguignon and Burgundy wine. The city of Dijon is approximately one hour and 40 minutes southeast of Paris by the TGV.
