IFIPTM 2007
Joint iTrust and PST Conferences on Privacy,
Trust Management and Security
July 30th -- August 2nd, 2007
Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007http://wwwhome.ewi.utwente.nl/~etalle/cfpIFIPTM07.pdf
Submission Deadline: February 16th , 2007
In 2007, the iTrust and PST conferences will join together to provide
a truly global platform for the reporting of research, development,
policy and practice in the interdependent areas of Privacy, Security,
and Trust.
The iTrust international Conference looks at trust from
multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology,
philosophy, sociology as well as information technology, is built on
the work of the iTrust working group (http://www.itrust.uoc.gr), and
has had four highly successful conferences in Europe to date.
The PST conference has quickly established itself as a leader in
multidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics related to
Privacy, Security and Trust, looked at from research and practice,
through academe, business, and government.
The two conferences come together as the first annual meeting and
conference of the newly formed IFIP Working Group on Trust Management
(IFIP WG11.11), a major step forward in Trust Management work
globally.
The program of the conference will feature research papers, industrial
and government presentations. We are also keen to hear from parties
interested in hosting workshops, both theoretical and practical, under
the auspices of the conference - contact the Program Chairs for more
details. It is expected that the conference will contain tracks on
Trust Management, Privacy and Policy, Security, Public Safety and
National Security, and Mobile and Emerging Technologies.
In addition, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature a "Business Day" designed to
bridge the gap between the research and technology being undertaken at
universities and research organizations, and the practical needs of
industry. We are soliciting Business Day presentations including
industry presentations, workshops and panels describing innovative
applications, case studies and best practices with a goal of fostering
collaboration between the research community and the private sector.
Finally, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature an opportunity for interested
parties to demonstrate their research and development projects. For
more information, please contact the Program Chairs.
For the detailed list of topics of interest for iTrust-PST 2007 see
http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007
High-quality papers in that at the time of submission are not under
review or have not already been published or accepted for publication
elsewhere are solicited.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
to be published by Springer under the auspices of the IFIP WG 11.11 on
Trust Management.
Submissions must be in English and authors should ensure that papers
are formatted according to the LNCS format (see

The 4th International Conference on Autonomic
and Trusted Computing (ATC-07)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/
Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007
*****************************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable,
assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy
protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable

******************* ATC-07 Call For Papers**********************
The 4th International Conference on Autonomic
and Trusted Computing (ATC-07)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/
Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007
*****************************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable,
assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy
protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable
autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-07 addresses the
most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and
includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing
(AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-07 is a successor of the First
Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems
(TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic
Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, Apr.), and the 3rd International
