Call for Papers
The iTrust international Conference looks at trust from
multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology, philosophy,
sociology as well as information technology.
Building upon the work of the IST iTrust
working group (http://www.itrust.uoc.gr)
and the success of the three previous iTrust
International conferences,
the aims of iTrust'2006 are to attract a critical mass of experts from
industry, government and academia with a keen interest in the area of
trust management.
The objectives of the Conference are:
- To facilitate the cross-disciplinary investigation of fundamental
issues underpinning computational trust models by bringing together
expertise from technology oriented sciences, law, philosophy and
social sciences.
- To facilitate the emergence of widely acceptable trust management
processes for dynamic open systems and applications.
- To facilitate the development of new paradigms in the area of
dynamic open systems which effectively
utilize computational trust models.
- To facilitate the integration of new trust management paradigms
and emerging architectures for
Grid computing and Virtual Organizations.
- To help the incorporation of trust management elements in existing
standards.
Topics of Interest :
Full technical papers contributing to the issue of trust management
are solicited in the relevant areas,
including but not limited to:
- The legal notion of trust in computer science and engineering
- Requirements and methodologies to ensure that the user can reasonably trust the functioning of software systems
- Trust management frameworks for secure collaborations in dynamic Virtual Organisations
- Design of trust-based architectures and decision-making mechanisms for e-community and e-service interactions
- Trust specification, analysis and reasoning
- Dynamics of trust dispositions and relations
- Realization of prototypes of software architectures and applications
- Trust elements in contract negotiation, execution monitoring, re-negotiation and arbitration
- Legal contribution to trust in technological infrastructures and
interactions: the on-line identification of subjects, the evaluation

confidentiality, commercial transactions, the resolution of disputes,
software agents, and management of access to source code
- Trust in interaction and cooperation mediated through computer
and network, and the balance of control and intervention
- Research in on-line trust, the trust of the consumer towards the web
sites of distribution companies
