Workshop Call for Position Papers

W2SP 2008: Web 2.0 Security and Privacy 2008

Thursday, May 22 The Claremont Resort, Oakland, California Sponsored by 

the 2008 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 



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. The mixing of technology and social interaction is occurring in 

the context of a wave of technologies supporting rapid development of 

these interpersonal and business interactions. Many of the new web 

technologies rely on the composition of content and services from multiple 

sources, resulting in complex technology compositions (mash-ups). The 

content composition trend is likely to continue. The lure of these 

technologies is the promise of simpler ways to compose software service 

and content, at lower cost. 

However, there are issues with respect to management of identities, 

reputation, privacy, anonymity, transient and long term relationships, and 

composition of function and content, both on the server side and at the 

client (web browser). While the security and privacy issues are not new, 

these issues are increasingly becoming acute as the technologies are 

adopted and adapted to appeal to wider audiences. Some of these 

technologies deliberately bypass existing security mechanisms. This 

workshop is intended to discuss the limitations of the current 

technologies and explore alternatives. 

The scope of W2SP 2008 includes, but is not limited to:

Identity, privacy, reputation and anonymity

End-to-end security architectures

Security of content composition

Security and privacy policy definition and modeling of content composition

Provenance and governance

Usable security and privacy models

Static and dynamic analysis for security

Security as a service

Click fraud

Software as a service

Web services/feeds/mashups

Next generation browser technology

Due to space limitations of the workshop, venue registration is limited to 

75 participants. 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 

co-chairs or workshop committee. From the submissions, the program 

committee will strive to select participants in a way that is balanced 

between academia and industry, as well as across topics. Selected papers 

will appear on the workshop web site.
