Workshop Topics and Goals
-------------------------------------------------
This workshop aims to explore novel research and design approaches for social systems. To date, trust research for such systems has predominantly focused on policing mechanisms, stable identities, reputation systems, and rich media channels. We aim to provide a forum of discussion for different perspectives. This workshop will revolve around the four following themes:
1. Building ...
... trust, collaboration and compliance. Can connections among users encourage cooperative and truthful behaviour? How can people be matched more efficiently? Can improved matchmaking and social recommendations really improve trust and cooperation?
2. Protecting ...
... trust, collaboration and compliance determines whether social systems survive in the longer term. Designers of social systems often face a dilemma. Should they allow anonymity and allow the community to benefit from increased freedom of expression and privacy or should they enforce stable identities which make policing easier? Are there other ways of eliciting self-awareness without compromising the benefits of anonymity?
3. Repairing ...
... trust, collaboration and compliance in social systems allows social systems to be more self regulatory. Is bad behaviour in an online context unforgivable? Should actors be indefinitely negatively branded? How can reparative facilitation methods and tools inspired by social psychology (e.g. forgiveness, apologies, action reversal) be applied in social systems?
4. Research strategies ...
... for trust, collaboration and compliance that can provide effective means for applying a user-centered, iterative design process. Examples include methods such as experiments, interviews, ethnomethodology, focus groups etc.

Intended Audience
-------------------------------------------------
This workshop is aimed at researchers and practitioners in the area of trust research and social systems design. More specifically we are interested in the views of:
* Researchers who work in established tracks of trust research ( e.g. reputation systems, rich media) and who can find inspiration for variations to their approaches.
* Researchers who have an interest in the topic, but who feel that their approaches or methods have not been adequately represented in the debate to date.
* Designers and user researchers who are currently working in industry and who would like to attain new information on potential commercial applications.
We are open to other perspectives that contribute to the points mentioned above or introduce new themes.
