CALL FOR PAPERS Trust 2009 2nd International Conference on Trusted Computing Socioeconomic Strand http://www.trust2009.org 6th - 8th April 2009 St. Hugh's College, University of Oxford, UK Building on the success of Trust 2008 (held in Villach, Austria, in March 2008), this conference focuses on trusted and trustworthy computing, both from the technical and social perspectives. The conference itself will have two main strands, one devoted to technical aspects and one devoted to the socioeconomic aspects of trusted computing. This call for papers is for contributions to the socioeconomic strand. The conference solicits original papers on any aspect of the social and economic aspects of the design and application of trusted computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Usability and user perceptions of trustworthy systems and risk * Effects of trustworthy systems upon user, corporate and governmental behaviour * The adequacy of guarantees provided by trustworthy systems for systems critically dependent upon trust, such as elections and government oversight * The impact of trustworthy systems upon digital forensics, police investigations and court proceedings * Economic drivers for trustworthy systems * Group and organisational behaviour with trustworthy systems * The impact of trustworthy systems upon user autonomy, social capital and power relationships * Cross-cultural definitions of trustworthiness * Can systems be truly "trustworthy" without any capacity for moral reasoning? * Trustworthy systems and precursors of trust such as honesty, benevolence, value similarity or competence * Trustworthiness, regret and forgiveness * Trustworthy systems as enhancements or constraints on government power * The role of independence from vested interests as a driver of trust * The game theory of trustworthy systems: prisoner's dilemmas, chicken and other game theoretic concepts of trust, reputation and risk * Experimental economics studies and their limitations in studying trustworthiness * The interplay between privacy, Privacy Enhancing Technologies and trustworthiness * Regulatory vs peer-produced trustworthiness, including reputation systems * Global governance initiatives to manage trust Submissions should take the form of extended abstracts, no more than two pages in length, which will be blind peer-reviewed by the Programme Committee. Abstracts should include the main research question(s) addressed and methodologies employed, with up to five key citations.
