CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           17th International Workshop on Trust in Agent Societies
            https://sites.google.com/site/trustworkshop/trust2014

            Co-located with AAMAS 2014 (http://aamas2014.lip6.fr)
                       May 5-9, 2014, Paris, France
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiagent systems operate across organizational and social
boundaries, facilitating interaction among and between entities, both
human and computational. For interaction within such complex
socio-technical systems to be effective/reliable, however, decisions
must be grounded upon identity and associated trustworthiness of
potential partners. Trust is foundational for the notion of agency and
for its defining relation of acting "on behalf of". It is also central
in modeling and supporting groups, teams and organizations,
human-agent interaction and in modeling the distribution of
(mis)information in agent-based systems. The aim of this workshop is
to bring together leading research on the use of computational models
of trust in agent systems and societies. Submissions to this workshop
should address key challenges in trust from theoretical,
methodological, empirical or applied perspectives. Perspectives from
interdisciplinary research are particularly welcome. The scope of the
workshop includes:

 o Trust and risk-aware decision making
 o Game-theoretic models of trust
 o Deception and fraud, and its detection and prevention
 o Intrusion resilience in trusted computing
 o Reputation networks
 o Privacy and access control in multi-agent systems
 o Trust and information provenance
 o Trust-based agent organization/coalition formation
 o Detecting and preventing collusion
 o Trust in human-agent interaction
 o Identity, behavior, and information trustworthiness
 o Trust, security and privacy in social networks
 o Socio-cognitive models of trust
 o Trust and argumentation
 o Trustworthy infrastructures and services
 o Trust modeling for real-world applications
