Confidentiality and Trust management in the Social Web (CTSW)
Workshop Call for Papers

Confidentiality and trust management is a critical problem in large communities for sharing data on the Internet. This is a fundamental issue in many applications such as social tagging platforms (e.g., flickr, del.icio.us), collaborative management of documents (Wikipedia, free software communities), auction platforms (e.g., e-bay) and more generally in what we call social software.
Many challenges are raised by the management of confidentiality in open communities and this workshop aims to gather contributions on both theoretical and practical aspects of the problem. More specifically, the workshop objective is to advance on the following points: (1) better understand what justifies the use of trust models, how trust is constructed dynamically between the members of a community, and the limits of such approaches; (2) the development of confidentiality models based on trust, in particular, these models have to enable sharing data between anonymous users and ensure confidentiality (data access control, guarantee of anonymity) and data integrity (constraints on the evolution of users own data); (3) the sharing of results and experimental studies on confidentiality models and tools.
This workshop is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the management of confidentiality in large communities of information sharing (social web sites, social networks, etc.), and to act as a platform for discussing experiences and visions about open communities, trust and confidentiality management.
