CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2015

The 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
13-17 April 2015, Salamanca, Spain
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/

Track: Trust, Reputation, Evidence and other Collaboration Know-how (TRECK)

Proceedings: ACM printed form, ACM CD-ROM and ACM digital library

Aims and scope of the TRECK track:

Computational models of trust and online reputation mechanisms have been gaining momentum.
The ACM SAC 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 TRECK tracks
attracted more than 280 researchers from both academia and industry who have
joined an online group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/trustcomp/

The goal of the ACM SAC 2015 TRECK track remains to review the set of
applications that benefit from the use of computational trust and online
reputation. Computational trust has been used in reputation systems, risk
management, collaborative filtering, social/business networking services,
dynamic coalitions, virtual organisations and even combined with trusted
computing hardware modules. The TRECK track covers all computational
trust/reputation applications, especially those used in real-world applications.

We would like to emphasize that we may accept the submission of industrial experience reports,
commercial tools case studies and reports of innovative computing applications if they are written in a scientific way.

This year, we have a special focus on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and corporate security, trust, risk and privacy
so those kinds of contributions are especially welcome!

The FP7 MUSES project investigates BYOD and corporate security, trust, risk and privacy and sponsors the ACM SAC'15 TRECK track,
more information on MUSES (Multiplatform Usable Endpoint Security) can be found here: https://www.musesproject.eu

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Trust management, reputation management and identity management
Recommender and reputation systems
Online reputation and e-réputation
Pervasive computational trust and use of context-awareness
Mobile trust, context-aware trust
Web 2.0 reputation and trust
Trust-based collaborative applications
Automated collaboration and trust negotiation
Trade-off between privacy and trust
BYOD and corporate security, trust, risk and privacy
Trust and risk-based security frameworks
Combined computational trust and trusted computing
Tangible guarantees given by formal models of trust and risk
Trust metrics assessment and threat analysis

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 and reputation engines
User-studies and user interfaces of computational trust and online reputation applications

Submission guidelines are posted on the TRECK 2015 Web site
