New, unprecedented services are available on the Web that capitalize on the social aspects of user communities. Crowd-sourcing, user-generated content, folksonomies, social computing, are all examples of services that were made possible by the recent shift in application design paradigms. Such services offer to many people a framework for organizing their private and professional lives. Unfortunately, low publishing barriers impact the quality of the content on the Web. Pseudo-anonymity of Web users combined with strong financial incentives encourage many users to perform malicious activities. These activities range from relatively harmless (e.g. trolling), through irritating (e.g. spamming), up to criminal (e.g. online auction fraud). In order to protect the community of users from malevolent wrong-doers, new tools and techniques need to be developed. To guarantee the trustworthiness of content, mechanisms for managing its quality, assessing the associated risk, and judge about trust must be designed and implemented to enable the emergence of fairness in Web environments. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The objective of the workshop is to create a common space for researchers and practitioners of trust, risk and reputation management to collaborate, exchange and discuss ideas, case studies, and solutions. The management of trust, risk and reputation, as well as recommendation engines, are ubiquitous in Web environments. They apply to webpages, blogs, social networks, Internet forums, P2P networks, online auction markets, and business to business markets, to name a few. Hence, workshop topic list is very broad and includes (not exclusively): * anomaly and spam detection in social networks * link and webpage spamming * P2P ranking and spamming * fairness in P2P networks * information quality, trust and reputation management in the blogosphere * social role discovery in Internet forums * reputation of Internet forum community members * trust and reputation in online auctions * risk analysis and risk propensity * trust in recommender systems * Web information retrieval for improving access to qualitative information IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20.06.2010 - papers due 15.07.2010 - notification of acceptance 23.07.2010 - camera ready due WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All accepted and presented papers will appear in the International Journal of Web Engineering and Technology (IJWET). In addition, selected papers will be invited for fast-track publication in the ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality. All accepted papers will be published as an online volume using the CEUR Workshop Proceedings service.
