Introduction

The 2008 International Symposium on Trusted Computing (TrustCom 2008), to be
held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference for Young Computer
Scientists (ICYCS 2008), aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners in the world working on trusted computing with regard to
security, safety, privacy, reliability, dependability, survivability,
availability, and fault tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks,
and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and
trends in this highly challenging research field.


Scope and Interests

TrustCom 2008 is an international forum for presenting and discussing emerging
ideas and trends in trusted computing in computer systems and networks from
both the research community as well as the industry. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
(1) Semantics, metrics and models of trust
(2) Trust establishment, propagation, and management
(3) Trusted computing platform
(4) Trusted network computing
(5) Trusted operating system
(6) Trusted software
(7) Trusted database
(8) Trusted services and applications
(9) Trust in e-commerce and e-government
(10) Trust in mobile and wireless networks
(11) Cryptography and security protocols
(12) Reliable and fault-tolerant computer systems/networks
(13) Survivable computer systems/networks
(14) Authentication in computer systems/networks
(15) Access control in computer systems/networks
(16) Key management in computer systems/networks


Submission and Publication Information

The symposium proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society (will
be indexed by EI Compendex & ISTP). Manuscripts should be written in English
conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column)
[http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html]. Manuscripts
should be submitted through the paper submission system at the symposium
website [http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/trustcom2008/submission]. Each
accepted paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with over length charge).
Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in a special
issue of Wiley journal: Security and Communication Networks
(http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security). The program committee will
select one winner for the Best Paper Award for the symposium. Submission of a
paper should be regarded as a commitment such that, if accepted, at least one
author of the paper will register and attend the symposium; otherwise, it will
be removed from the IEEE Digital Library after the symposium.
