Workshop Call for Papers
W2SP 2009: Web 2.0 Security and Privacy 2009
Thursday, May 21
The Claremont Resort, Oakland, California 

The goal of this one day workshop is to bring together researchers 
and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on understanding 
Web 2.0 security and privacy issues, and establishing new collaborations 
in these areas. 

Web 2.0 is about connecting people and amplifying the power of working 
together. Enabled by a wave of new technology, these social and 
business interactions rely on composition of content and services 
from multiple sources, commonly called mash-ups, leading to systems 
with complex trust boundaries. This trend is likely to continue because 
individuals and businesses desire the efficiency and simplicity these 
technologies offer. 

Together with their virtues, these technologies raise issues about 
management of identities, reputation, privacy, anonymity, transient 
and long term relationships, and composition of function and content, 
both on the server and on the client (web browser). Although the 
underlying security and privacy issues are not new, the use of these 
technologies on a wide scale and by a broad audience raises new 
questions. This workshop is intended to discuss the limitations of 
current technologies and explore alternatives. 

The scope of W2SP 2009 includes, but is not limited to:
- Trustworthy cloud-based services
- Privacy and reputation in social networks
- Usable security and privacy
- Security for the mobile web
- Identity management and psuedonymity
- Advertisement and affiliate fraud
- Provenance and governance
- Security and privacy as a service
- Web services/feeds/mashups
- Security and privacy policies for composible content
- Next-generation browser technology

Potential workshop participants should submit a paper on topics relevant 
to Web 2.0 security and privacy issues. We are seeking both short 
position papers (2?4 pages) and refereed papers (a maximum of 8 pages). 
Papers longer than 8 pages may be automatically rejected by the chair 
or workshop committee. From the submissions, the program committee 
will strive to balance participation between academia and industry and 
across topics. Selected papers will appear on the workshop web site.
