The Fifth International Workshop on Trusted Collaboration (TrustCol 2010) will take place in Chicago, Illinois, USA, in October 9, 2010. The target audience will be university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, software engineers, and graduate students who need to become acquainted with new theories and technologies related to security and privacy challenges in collaborative environments.

TrustCol 2010 will be held in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Collaborative Computing: Networking, Applications and Worksharing, (CollaborateCom 2010), which is jointly sponsored by Create-Net, the International Computer Sciences, and Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (ICST), IEEE, and IEEE Computer Society.

The ongoing, rapid developments in information systems technologies and networking have enabled significant opportunities for streamlining decision making processes and maximizing productivity through distributed collaborations that facilitate unprecedented levels of sharing of information and computational resources. Emerging collaborative environments need to provide efficient support for seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies such as mobile devices and infrastructures, web services, grid and cloud computing systems, online social networks, various operating environments, and diverse COTS products. Such heterogeneity introduces, however, significant security and privacy challenges for distributed collaborative applications. Balancing the competing goals of collaboration and security is difficult because interaction in collaborative systems is targeted towards making people, information, and resources available to all who need it whereas information security seeks to ensure the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of these elements while providing it only to those with proper trustworthiness. The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the security and privacy challenges faced by the current and future collaborative systems and infrastructures.

We solicit unpublished research papers that address theoretical issues and practical implementations/experiences related to security and privacy solutions for collaborative systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Secure dynamic coalition environments

Secure distributed multimedia collaboration

Privacy control in collaborative environments

Secure workflows for collaborative computing

Policy-based management of collaborative workspace

Secure middleware for large scale collaborative infrastructures

Security and privacy issues in mobile collaborative applications

Security frameworks and architectures for trusted collaboration

Secure interoperation in multidomain collaborative environments

Identity management for large scale collaborative infrastructures

Semantic web technologies for secure collaborative infrastructure

Trust models, trust negotiation/management for collaborative systems

Access control models and mechanisms for collaboration environments

Protection models and mechanisms for peer-to-peer collaborative environments

Delegation, accountability, and information flow control in collaborative applications

Intrusion detection, recovery and survivability of collaborative systems/infrastructures

Security of web services and grid technologies for supporting multidomain collaborative applications

Security and privacy challenges in cloud-based collaborative applications
