Introduction

The First 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.
