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.

Important Dates:
(1) Paper submission due: June 15, 2008
(2) Notification of decision: July 15, 2008
(3) Camera-ready papers due: August 1, 2008
