<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Workshop Call for Papers</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">W2SP 2009: Web 2.0 Security and Privacy
2009</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Thursday, May 21</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">The Claremont Resort, Oakland, California
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">The goal of this one day workshop is to
bring together researchers </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">and practitioners from academia and industry
to focus on understanding </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Web 2.0 security and privacy issues, and
establishing new collaborations </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">in these areas. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Web 2.0 is about connecting people and
amplifying the power of working </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">together. Enabled by a wave of new technology,
these social and </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">business interactions rely on composition
of content and services </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">from multiple sources, commonly called
mash-ups, leading to systems </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">with complex trust boundaries. This trend
is likely to continue because </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">individuals and businesses desire the efficiency
and simplicity these </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">technologies offer. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Together with their virtues, these technologies
raise issues about </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">management of identities, reputation, privacy,
anonymity, transient </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">and long term relationships, and composition
of function and content, </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">both on the server and on the client (web
browser). Although the </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">underlying security and privacy issues
are not new, the use of these </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">technologies on a wide scale and by a broad
audience raises new </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">questions. This workshop is intended to
discuss the limitations of </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">current technologies and explore alternatives.
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">The scope of W2SP 2009 includes, but is
not limited to:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Trustworthy cloud-based services</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Privacy and reputation in social networks</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Usable security and privacy</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Security for the mobile web</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Identity management and psuedonymity</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Advertisement and affiliate fraud</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Provenance and governance</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Security and privacy as a service</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Web services/feeds/mashups</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Security and privacy policies for composible
content</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">- Next-generation browser technology</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Potential workshop participants should
submit a paper on topics relevant </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">to Web 2.0 security and privacy issues.
We are seeking both short </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">position papers (2–4 pages) and refereed
papers (a maximum of 8 pages). </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">Papers longer than 8 pages may be automatically
rejected by the chair </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">or workshop committee. From the submissions,
the program committee </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">will strive to balance participation between
academia and industry and </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier">across topics. Selected papers will appear
on the workshop web site. </font>
