(We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message) CALL FOR PAPERS - SAC 2005 The 20th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing March 13 - 17, 2005, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA Track: Trust, Recommendations, Evidence and other Collaboration Know-how (TRECK) SAC 2005: For the past nineteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2005 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, and is hosted by New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM, USA. Its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the Web through the ACM Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past editions of SAC can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp/ and http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2005/ Aims and scope of the TRECK track: Computational models of trust and mechanisms based on the human notion of trust have been gaining momentum over the last couple of years. One reason for this is that traditional security mechanisms are challenged by open, large scale and decentralised environments. The use of an explicit trust management component goes beyond security though. Trust has been used in reputation systems, collaborative filtering, dynamic coalitions and virtual organizations. For example, adjunct trust metrics in recommender systems have solved some of the shortcomings of standard distributed recommender systems. The goal of the SAC 2005 TRECK track is to explore the set of applications that either benefit from the use of early trust-based mechanisms or could be enhanced by the integration of an advanced trust engine. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Trust/risk-based security frameworks Applications of trust management components Improvement of recommender systems with adjunct trust/reputation Trust-enhanced collaborative applications Tangible guarantees given by formal models of trust and risk Applications of formal models of trust and risk Assessment and threat analysis of trust metrics Pervasive computational trust and use of context-aware features Trade-off between privacy and trust Automated collaboration and trust negotiation Integration of soft computing techniques in trust engines Evidence gathering and management Real world applications, running prototypes and advanced simulations Applicability in large scale, open and decentralized environments Representation, management and recognition of identities Trust and reputation in virtual organizations Legal and economic aspects related to the use of trust-based systems User-studies of computational trust applications Submission guidelines are posted on the TRECK 2005 website (http://www.trustcomp.org/treck/), which always contains the latest updates: Authors are invited to submit full papers about original and unpublished research. We would like to encourage the submission of industrial experience reports and reports of innovative computing applications. Parallel submission to other conferences, other tracks of SAC 2005 or any other publications is forbidden. Papers submitted should not have been previously published and should not be subsequently published in the same form elsewhere. Submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page and authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimise references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institution. The body of each paper should not exceed 4,000 words. Papers failing to comply with length limitations risk immediate rejection. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At least three reviewers will be assigned to each submission to the TRECK track. Accepted papers are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the Web through the ACM Digital Library. Once accepted, papers must fit within five (5) two column pages (please check the author kit on the main SAC website: the format is usually the ACM one at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html), with the option (at additional expense) to add three (3) more pages. A second set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, will be accepted as posters and will be published as extended 2-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. Paper submissions should be sent (as an attached PDF file) to: treck2005@private The body of the email should include the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be sent. Submissions will be accepted until 23.59 PM GMT, 3 September, 2004. No more papers will be accepted after that time.

Originally a townlet populated by Pueblo Indians, it became a capital of Nueva Espana (New Spain) in 1607, then a capital of the Mexican state of Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico); since the 1840's, it is part of the USA. Santa Fe is famous for its culture, art, and traditions. It is home to US's third largest art market, to the Santa Fe Opera, variety of cuisines, hundreds of quaint shops, and unlimited outdoor activities. For more information about Santa Fe see the city website at http://www.santafe.org/.
