<div>ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT)</div>
<div>Special Section on Provenance of online data</div>
<div>http://toit.acm.org/</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Across many domains, there is a need to trace how data has been created, manipulated and disseminated. This has led to strong recent interest in technology for modelling and reasoning about provenance. Access to provenance information underlies our ability
to interpret and to judge the reliability of data, whether on the web, in databases, or within and between applications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Despite much recent progress in research and standardisation, it is still uncommon for people or software to have access to the provenance of online data. The formal requirements for provenance, including issues such as correctness, completeness, and security
of provenance, are not yet fully understood. The question of what is semantically useful provenance and how to capture it is still open, as are benchmarks that could be used to measure the performance of proposed systems. Moreover, as the patterns of use on
the internet change, with greater prevalence of crowdsourcing of information and services, virtualisation of applications in clouds, location-aware streaming, and so on, both the technological and social requirements on provenance are shifting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This special issue will focus on ideas to meet these challenges. Specifically, we seek original and high quality submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics. Substantially extended versions of appropriate workshop or conference papers
are very welcome.</div>
