                            CALL FOR PAPERS

  The 7th IEEE International Workshop on Trusted Collaboration (TrustCol 
2012)
                Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. October 14, 2012

NEW FOR TRUSTCOL2012
--------------------
A best paper award will be given to the best paper of the workshop. In 
addition, authors of selected papers up to 5, including the author(s) of 
the best paper, will be invited to submit their extended versions of 
papers to either a special issue of Computers and Security (COSE) or 
IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC).


SCOPE
-----
The ongoing, rapid development in information technology has enabled 
significant opportunities for streamlining decision-making processes and 
maximizing productivity through distributed collaboration that 
facilitates unprecedented levels of sharing of computational and storage 
resources. Emerging collaborative environments need to provide efficient 
support for seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies such as 
mobile devices, web services, grid/cloud computing, online social 
networks, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. 
Such heterogeneity introduces, however, significant security and privacy 
challenges for distributed collaboration. Balancing the competing goals 
of collaboration and security is difficult because interaction in 
collaborative systems is targeted towards making people, information, 
and resources available to all who need it whereas information security 
seeks to ensure the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of 
these elements while providing them only to those with proper 
trustworthiness. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active 
interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate 
added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the 
security and privacy challenges faced by the current and future 
collaborative systems and infrastructures.

We solicit unpublished research papers that address theoretical issues 
and practical implementations/experiences related to security and 
privacy solutions for collaborative systems. Topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

- Secure dynamic coalition environments
- Privacy control in collaborative environments
- Secure workflows for collaborative computing
- Policy-based management of collaborative workspace
- Secure middleware for large scale collaborative infrastructures
- Security and privacy issues in mobile collaborative applications
- Identity management for large scale collaborative infrastructures
- Semantic web technologies for secure collaborative infrastructure
- Trust models, trust negotiation/management for collaborative systems
- Access control models and mechanisms for collaboration environments
- Protection models and mechanisms for peer-to-peer collaborative 
environments
- Delegation, accountability, and information flow control in 
collaborative applications
- Intrusion detection, recovery and survivability of collaborative 
systems/infrastructures
- Security of web services and grid technologies for supporting 
multidomain collaborative applications
- Security and privacy challenges in cloud-based collaborative applications
- Insider threats in collaborative systems
