CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2015

The 30th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
13-17 April 2015, Salamanca, Spain

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 hav= e 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-r=C3=A9putation
Pervasive computational trust and use of context-awareness
Mobile trust, context-aware trust
