Editorial message: second special track on trust, recommendations, evidence and other collaboration know-how (TRECK'06)

ABSTRACT

With the emerging wave of Web 2.0 applications and their core decentralised user-centric pillar, there is an increased need for mechanisms to deal with uncertainty to still reap the benefits of collaboration and filter; facilitate and support decision-making; filter and secure the large scale number of the interconnected elements of these new popular applications. For example, peer-to-peer file sharing needs mechanisms to avoid downloading risky files and to optimise performance in a decentralised way.
