WHOLES
– A Multiple View of Individual Privacy in a Networked World
Stockholm, Sweden, January 30-31, 2004
Workshop Web site:
http://www.sics.se/privacy/wholes2004
With this workshop, we seek to
explore interdisciplinary approaches to helping individuals in managing their
privacy in the context of emerging information technologies. We are
particularly interested in usability and applicability aspects of this theme.
We also seek to learn how different perspectives may be combined to produce a
deeper understanding of the issues. Privacy may from a scientific perspective
be an intangible concept, but is nevertheless essential to us all and is an
important motivational factor as we continuously make choices about how to act
and what to say. Throughout history, there has been a huge variation in the way
privacy has been understood and the strategies people have used to protect
themselves. As with all major changes in society, emerging information
technologies are about to reshape the concept yet again. Technological
innovations for communication, business, entertainment, and so forth, effectively
permeate many activities in our everyday lives – something that directly
changes the preconditions for how we deal with privacy.
The main goal of the workshop is to create a forum for the
exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned
with multi-disciplinary aspects of privacy in the context of emerging
information technologies. We hope that the workshop will serve to foster the
development of an international community interested in the themes of this
workshop.
Workshop format
This two-day workshop will be divided into four sequential
sessions with presentations and plenty of room for discussions. The workshop will
also include two invited speaker sessions, with talks by Dr. Batya Friedman and
Dr. Herbert Burkert.
Submission
Potential participants need to submit a short paper of 5-7 pages
describing ongoing research in an area within the scope of the workshop. Submissions
are expected to stimulate multi-disciplinary discussions within the workshop
theme. Since space is limited, only authors of accepted submissions will be
invited to participate at the workshop. The accepted submissions will be
included in the workshop proceedings and made available to the participants
prior to the event on the workshop Web site. Please submit your contribution no
later than October 31, 2003 by email to markus.bylund@sics.se.
