Nowadays most of web applications collect and manage users’ information in the form of users’ profiles in order to provide the users with the services they need. Nevertheless the profiles used in current user-centric applications are poor, often inaccurate and/or incomplete. In addition to this, the profile models and content are specific to each application, leading to repeated information collection and data redundancy among applications.
For these reasons, aim of the MultiA-Pro 2010 workshop is to organize a common discussion among different scientific and industrial communities: security, open distributed systems, interoperability and context-aware and personalization systems on generic, evolving, secure multi-application user profiles.
A first problem to address in this kind of scenario is to accurately define what the profile content is. Even for mono application profiles there are several definitions and structure models, content categories and profile creation and enrichment methods. Are these techniques still valid in a multi-application context?
The profile management has to be user-centric. The user has to be an active actor and needs to be aware about and to be able to control the stored information and its evolution. How to find and group similar profiles to enrich them mutually? How the profile modifications caused by an application affect the profile for another application? How to make the profile context-sensitive? The user-centric character of the profile management means also that the actions of the user could affect the profile in an automatic manner. User tasks and action history model has to be taken into account in profile management.
Another challenge with multi-application profiles is the security management due to profile data and structure sharing. Users must have the possibility to manage the confidentiality of their data in a direct and practical fashion. A credible solution must come with data security management taking into account user needs and application requirements. Which profile content can be shared, modified and used by several applications? What is useful, what is necessary and what is forbidden to be shared? How to guarantee users anonymity and privacy? How to prevent identity disclosure when profile content is shared among applications? Which trust and reputation techniques could be taken into account?
The workshop will provide research and best practices to set the agenda for future orientations and to create critical design issues for new business models. We encourage contributions (research papers, panels, special presentations, standardization, lessons learned, etc.), on the following topics, but not limited to:
- Generic user profile model
- Multi-application profiles
- Profile representation
- Profile evolution
- Profile data collection
- Profile use
- Personalized searching and personalized sharing
- Personalization and user profile management
- Profile security
- Profile for security
- Context-aware profile
- Personalized storage and information retrieval with user-context
- Anonymity and pseudonymity
- Privacy and anonymity in IRS

Posters
Posters are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as poster. Submissions are expected to be 6-8 slide deck. Posters will not be published in the Proceedings. One poster with all the slides together should be used for discussions. Presenters will be allocated a space where they can display the slides and discuss in an informal manner. The poster slide decks will be posted on the IARIA site.
For more details, see the Posters explanation page.
Work in Progress
Work-in-progress contributions are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as work in progress. Authors should submit a four-page (maximum) text manuscript in IEEE double-column format including the authors' names, affiliations, email contacts. Contributors must follow the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics. The work will be published in the conference proceedings.
For more details, see the Work in Progress explanation page
Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will not be published in the conference’s CD Proceedings. Presentations' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your presentations to [email protected]
Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals should be for three hour tutorials. Proposals must contain the title, the summary of the content, and the biography of the presenter(s). The tutorials' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your proposals to [email protected]
Panel proposals:
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. The panel's slide deck will be posted on the IARIA's site.
