The Workshop on Models of Trust for the Web [1] will   
   be a one-day workshop held on May 22 or 23, 2006 in   
   Edinburgh in conjunction with the 15th International World   
   Wide Web Conference [2] . Tentative deadlines are January   
   10 for paper submission and February 1 for acceptance   
   notification.   
      
    "As it gets easier to add information to the web via html   
     pages, wikis, blogs, and other documents, it gets tougher   
     to distinguish accurate information from inaccurate or   
     untrustworthy information. A search engine query usually   
     results in several hits that are outdated and/or from   
     unreliable sources and the user is forced to go through   
     the results and pick what she/he considers the most   
     reliable information based on her/his trust   
     requirements. With the introduction of web services, the   
     problem is further exacerbated as users have to come up   
     with a new set of requirements for trusting web services   
     and web services themselves require a more automated way   
     of trusting each other. Apart from inaccurate or outdated   
     information, we also need to anticipate Semantic Web Spam   
     (SWAM) where spammers publish false facts and scams to   
     deliberately mislead users. This workshop is interested in   
     all aspects of enabling trust on the web."
