CALL FOR PAPERS

NTTCM'2014 New Trends in Trust Computational Models
http://nttcm2014.it.ubi.pt
June 30 to July 3 2014 University of Minho, Guimarães, Portugal
---------------------------------------------------------------


SCOPE
---------------------------------------------------------------
We are seeking papers describing innovative approaches in 
trust representation, modelling and processing. NNTCM'2014 
will include technical aspects on how trust can be 
modelled and represented in computational environments, by 
addressing advances in the theory, design, implementation, 
analysis, and application of trust concepts. There is also 
interest in knowing how trust methodologies and concepts from 
different areas can be transposed and adapted in other fields 
scenarios by discussing the advantages and limitations of the 
different trust implementations currently being developed.
Focus will be on new and emerging areas such as immersive 
environments, cloud services and information systems 
reliability, but also on insights from social sciences in 
cognitive developments and mediated computational interactions.
We also would like to contribute to consolidate the field of 
trust computing by presenting and discussing emergent scenarios 
that would benefit from further integration of trust 
conceptualizations. We are particularly interested in papers 
that relate complementary trust methodologies, using 
conceptualizations from different contexts and backgrounds in 
the development of new and innovative computational trust 
models. We encourage original research contributions in trust 
representation, modelling and processing as well as practical 
developments and experimental results in trust and related topics.

REGISTRATION
Registration and oral presentation at the workshop is 
compulsory for at least one of the authors of the accepted 
papers.

COPYRIGHT
Each paper must be an original and unpublished work, not 
submitted for publication elsewhere. Eventual copyright 
problems are entirely responsibility of the authors.

REVIEWING
Papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers in order 
to ensure the quality and relevance of the publication 
contributions.

ACCEPTANCE
Accepted papers must take in account improvements and 
recommendations from the referees. They must follow the 
formatting guidelines in the preparation of the camera-ready 
paper. Acceptance also require that at least one of the 
authors will register and present orally the paper in the 
workshop. Failure to comply with these requirements, will lead 
to remove the paper from the workshop proceedings and will not be 
published in the LNCS.
