SAC 2017:

For the past twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world.

Aims and scope of the TRECK track:

Computational models of trust and online reputation mechanisms have been gaining momentum. The ACM SAC 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 TRECK tracks attracted more than 290 researchers from both academia and industry who have joined an online group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/trustcomp/

The goal of the ACM SAC 2017 TRECK track remains to review the set of applications that benefit from the use of computational trust and online reputation, also called e-reputation. Computational trust has been used in reputation systems, risk management, collaborative filtering, social/business networking services, dynamic coalitions, virtual organisations and even combined with trusted computing hardware modules. The TRECK track covers all computational trust/reputation applications, especially those used in real-world applications.

We would like to emphasize that we may accept the submission of industrial experience reports, commercial tools case studies and reports of innovative computing applications if they are written in a scientific way.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Trust management, reputation management and identity management
Recommender and reputation systems
Online reputation and e-réputation
Pervasive computational trust and use of context-awareness
Mobile trust, context-aware trust
Web 2.0 reputation and trust
Trust-based collaborative applications
