The iTrust international Conference looks at trust from multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology, philosophy, sociology, as well as information technology. Building upon the work of the IST iTrust working group (
http://www.itrust.uoc.gr) and the success of the three previous iTrust International conferences, the aims of iTrust'2006 are to attract a critical mass of experts from industry, government, and academia with a keen interest in the area of trust management. The objectives of the Conference are:
• To facilitate the cross-disciplinary investigation of fundamental issues underpinning computational trust models by bringing together expertise from technology oriented sciences, law, philosophy and social sciences.
• To facilitate the emergence of widely acceptable trust management processes for dynamic open systems and applications.
• To facilitate the development of new paradigms in the area of dynamic open systems which effectively utilise computational trust models.
• To facilitate the integration of new trust management paradigms and emerging architectures for Grid computing and Virtual Organisations.
• To help the incorporation of trust management elements into existing standards.
Full technical papers contributing to the issue of trust management are solicited in relevant areas, including but not limited to:
• Requirements and methodologies to ensure that the user can reasonably trust the functioning of software systems
• Security in relation to trust
• Trust management frameworks for secure collaborations in dynamic Virtual Organisations
• Design of trust-based architectures and decision-making mechanisms for e-community and e-service interactions
• Trust specification, analysis, and reasoning
• Dynamics of trust dispositions and relations
• Realisation of prototypes of software architectures and applications
• Trust elements in contract negotiation, execution monitoring, renegotiation and arbitration
• Legal contribution to trust in technological infrastructures and interactions: the on-line identification of subjects, the evaluation of their reliability, data protection, security, privacy and, confidentiality, commercial transactions, the resolution of disputes, software agents, and management of access to source code
• Trust in interaction and cooperation mediated through computer and network, and the balance of control and intervention
• Research in on-line trust, the trust of the consumer towards the websites of distribution companies
• Analysis of the relationship between trust and such notions as
• Confidence, distrust, diffidence, expectation, risk, and reliance
• The legal notion of trust in computer science and engineering

Venue:
The conference will be held in the new convention centre of the CNR Research Area in Pisa. Pisa is a small historical town, world-wide known for the "Torre pendente" (leaning tower), one of the monuments of "Campo dei Miracoli" (field of miracles). With its international Airport, with direct flights (often low cost) with several European cities (such as Paris, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Munich, Madrid, etc.), Pisa represents a main entrance for visiting Tuscany, with its historical, cultural and natural beauties.
