CEAS 2010 Call for Papers
Collaboration, Electronic messaging, Anti-Abuse and Spam Conference
[formerly the Conference on Email and Anti-Spam]
The Seventh Annual
Collaboration, Electronic messaging, Anti-Abuse and Spam Conference (CEAS 2010)
invites the submission of papers for its meeting in July, 2010.
Papers are invited on all aspects of electronic communication
and collaboration, including email, instant messaging, and
other messaging methods including voice and video;
social networks, blogs, and wikis;
user-generated content, ratings, and reviews;
crowdsourcing, citizen science, and human-based computation.
The submission deadline has passed; thank you all for submitting!
We’re sorry to announce that this year’s spam-filter challenge has been cancelled, due to insufficient interest.
Academic and industrial research perspectives including
novel applications, theoretical work, analysis of real-world users and
trends, and operational or deployment case studies related to
the conference topics are all warmly encouraged.
Both full papers of up to 10 pages and poster papers of up to 4 pages
will be considered. Papers will be peer-reviewed by a committee of
experts from academic and industrial research centers.
Suggested topics
- Message filtering, organization, and security
- Adversarial learning using machine learning and natural language processing
- Automated assistance, summarization, and search for online communication
- Social networking security, privacy, and fraud prevention
- Modeling and analysis of economics of abuse, phishing, spam, and fraud
- Studies of abuse tactics and patterns
- Scalability, reliability, archiving, and retrieval
- Collaborative filtering of user-generated content
- Protocols and standards for social networking, collaboration, and messaging
- Standards for abuse reporting and monitoring
- Crowdsourcing analysis, applications, and theory
- Novel uses of wikis and blogs in science, problem solving, and education
- Studies on the use of citizen science and human-based computing
- Novel modes of distributed collaboration
- Collaboration in adversarial environments
- User trust and reputation
- User identity issues that relate to the conference topics
- Online fraud, cyber crime, identity theft, and other online crime
These are examples, and
other topics within the scope of the conference are also welcome; if you have questions about the applicability of your work, contact the program committee at

Watch for one as part of next year’s conference.
A Note on Reproducibility
CEAS draws from a rich set of communities in both academia and industry.
As such, we understand that it is sometimes difficult for all experiments to be reported in a manner that allows strict repeatability, for reasons of privacy, confidentiality, and propriety.
That said, experimental results do need to be reproducible in the scientific sense, and peer reviewers will apply accepted standards for reporting scientific results.
Nonetheless, every effort should be made to make experimental results repeatable, preferably by making source code and data sets publicly available and reporting all parameters in detail.
When this is not possible, efforts should be made to conduct additional experiments on similar publicly available data or with similar publicly available methods.
If none of these approaches are possible, an explanation of the reasons for the limitations should be included in the paper.
