Reputation and Provenance Workshop

[Chris Daly <rcdaly@us.ibm.com>]

I am organizing a Reputation and Provenance
Workshop for March 10/11 in Bethesda Maryland.  If you are interested
in providing a 30 minute presentation and/or being a panelist, pls let
me know by Feb 5.  If you want to attend but not present, pls let
me know as well.

The workshop topics are:

1.  Principles, Frameworks
and Emerging Standards for Reputation and Provenance 
panel topic --- a survey of current
initiatives and what will it take to converge on a set of standards?

2.  Technical Challenges
and Approaches for Implementing Reputation and Provenance Systems
panel topic --- where can we leverage
common solutions and known best practices?

3.  Initiatives for Reputation
and Provenance Technologies
panel topic --- are there significant
differences in the different areas of application? what's the "core"
and what's the
"nice to have"?

Areas of interest regarding initiatives:
a.  Identity
b.  Software
c.  Information
d.  Products and Services

4.  Industry Issues and Requirements
for Reputation and Provenance – special focus on Governance and Policy
panel topic --- can we afford
to approach this from individual vertical perspectives?  where can
we build
to exploit economies of scale?
