------------------------------------------------------------------------ First call for papers 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.
