*LAST* CALL FOR PAPERS and *DEADLINE EXTENDED* to March 14, 2010
SPOT2010
Second International Workshop on
Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web
http://spot.semanticweb.org/2010/
Co-located with ESWC2010
(the 7th European / Extended Semantic Web Conference)
The Semantic Web is becoming reality as it is an integrated component of the Web
we are browsing everyday - be it the Open Linked Data movement that nowadays
exposes over 10 billion triples of RDF or the annotated and structured
information available on Web pages used by major search engines, such as Yahoo!
SearchMonkey and Google. Moreover, social data about people and their
interaction is made available in machine-understandable format in projects like
FOAF or SIOC. Facing this amount of data, privacy and trust consideration is an
important step to take right now. The challenging research questions arising
from this movement include:
* How do people know that the data gathered from several sources for reasoning
purposes can be trusted?
* How can one avoid that personal data exposed on the Semantic Web will be
combined with other available semantic data in a way that sensitive information
may be revealed?
* How shall a safe reasoning process look like that does not end up in a
conflict only because a single Semantic Web peer exposed a contradiction?
We expect discussions and results concerning questions like these at SPOT2010
leading to solutions and research results in the realm of Semantic Web and
social data for the pervasive issue of privacy and trust on the Web.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
================================
The list of topics that aims to be covered by the workshop include, but is not
limited to:
Semantic Technologies for Trust and Privacy on the Web
* Privacy by generalization of answers
* Ontologies for trust and privacy
* Semantic Web policies
* Usage control and accountability
* Policy representation and reasoning
* Semantic Web technologies for access control
Trusted Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the Semantic Web
* Data provenance and trustworthiness of knowledge sources
* Trust-enabled linked data
* Ontology hijacking
* Scalability of trust and privacy on the Semantic Web
Trust and Privacy for Social Applications
* Trust and privacy in social online communities (e.g., SIOC)
* Privacy in Semantic Web sharing applications (e.g., semantic desktop)
* User profiling and modeling vs. privacy
* Privacy and community mining
* Trust and reputation metrics
* Usage mining and policy extraction
* Privacy awareness in social communities
* The Semantic Web as a trust enabler
* Social Network annoyance, social software fatigue, social spam
* Managing information overload on the Social Web with privacy metrics
* Trust and privacy for social software on mobile devices
SUBMISSIONS
================================
Papers will have to be formatted using the Springer Publications format for
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions for the Research Papers
and Demos and Applications will be made using the EasyChair Conference System,
and proceedings of the papers will be provided through the CEUR online service.
The following types of contributions are welcome:
* Research Papers:
short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 12 pages) technical papers that aims to
explore how Semantic Web technologies can provide solutions to trust and privacy
issues on the Web, focusing on one or more topics from the various ones
identified within the main CFP. Especially, we very welcome papers focusing on
theoretical work as well as applications regarding the benefits of Semantic Web
technologies to solve these issues. The papers should clearly define the
motivation of the work with relevant scenarios and should also provide a clear
overview and evaluation of the benefits of the proposed approaches;
* Demos and Applications:
participants have to submit a two-page paper containing a demo description
together with a URI where the demo is available on-line and meeting the
following conditions: (1) It must use Semantic Web technologies (such as RDF,
SPARQL, FOAF, SIOC, etc.); (2) It must deal with person or person-related
semantic data (such as profiles, buddylists, reviews, comments, etc.) and (3)
additionally, the demo may operate on a real social platform, such as MySpace,
Facebook, netvibes or iGoogle.
Papsers shall be submitted in PDF format to
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spot2010
IMPORTANT DATES
================================
Submission deadline: extended to March 14, 2010
(23:59 pm Hawaii time,GMT-10)
Acceptance notification: April 5, 2010
Camera-ready submission: April 18, 2010
Workshop: May 30 or May 31, 2010
WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
================================
The workshop will be co-located with the ESWC in Heraklion (Greece), and will
be held on the 30th or 31st of May 2010. The workshop will consist of:
Keynote:
To be announced.
Research Track:
Full papers will be presented at the workshop in a 25 minutes session including
a discussion. We may add small panel sessions at the end of each research
session where the presenters are the panelists in order to foster discussion and
comparisons about the papers presented.
Demo and Application Track:
In order to stimulate discussions including practitioners and highlight future
directions we plan to include a Demo and Application track. In contrast to the
research track, there will be different rules for submissions: participants have
to submit a two-page paper containing a demo description together with a URI
where the demo is available on-line and meeting the following conditions
Lightning Talks Track:
We will provide a way for people to present feed- back on research track talks,
as well as controversial topics potentially fostering discussions after the
workshop. We envision short talks (three minutes maximum).
