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.

******************* 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 Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, Three Gorges, China, Sep.). Topics include but are not limited to the following: -AC/OC Theory and Models * Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation, competition, self-organization, emergence, etc. -AC/OC Architectures and Systems * Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks, middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc. -AC/OC Components and Modules * Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy, software, OS, I/O, etc. -AC/OC Communication and Services * Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid, P2P, semantics, agent, transaction, etc. -AC/OC Tools and Interfaces * Tools/interfaces for AC/OC system development, test, monitoring, assessment, supervision, etc. -Trust Models and Specifications * Models and semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk, reputation, reliability, etc. -Trust-related Security and Privacy * Trust-related secure architecture, framework, policy, intrusion detection/awareness, protocols, etc. -Trusted Reliable and Dependable Systems * Fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery, etc. -Trustworthy Services and Applications * Trustworthy Internet/web/grid/P2P e-services, secure mobile services, novel applications, etc. -Trust Standards and Non-Technical Issues * Trust standards and issues related to personality, ethics, sociology, culture, psychology, economy, etc. ==IMPORTANT DATES== Submission Deadline: January 15, 2007 Authors Notification: March 15, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: April 15, 2007 ==ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION== Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file.
