1st Int. Workshop on Multilateral/Multiuser Privacy in Pervasive Systems

 

collocated with

 

The Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems

Pisa, 8 - 11 October 2007

 

The advent of pervasive systems is going to render the precondition made by
privacy enhancing technologies researched so far inappropriate. More
precisely, in pervasive systems users are no longer interacting with one or
just a few entities. Further, sensing devices will be capable to retrieve
some data without users consent. In addition, different users may require
different settings from a pervasive system at the same time and at the same
place, so interference of users has to be solved somehow. Privacy is a hot
research topic for several years, but research that addresses privacy in
pervasive systems is still in its infancy. The goal of this workshop is to
provide a platform for presenting and discussing novel ideas to preserve
privacy in pervasive systems. We especially want to foster discussion
between scientist form industry and academia working in different fields
such as middleware platforms and low power security solutions. 

 

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: 

-        Privacy related management of pervasive systems.

-        Security means as key enablers for privacy for computing devices
with weak resources.

-        Information flow analysis.

-        Privacy aware applications.

-        Privacy preserving middleware approaches.

-        Balancing privacy requirements between users and users and service
providers.

-        RFIDs and privacy.

 

Paper Submissions

The workshop seeks original research contributions of high quality. In
addition to regular papers position papers that discuss hot topics or future
research directions, and work in progress papers presenting interesting
preliminary results are accepted. Full papers should not exceed 10 pages,
and work in progress and position papers should be limited to a maximum of 5
pages. All papers shall be formatted as single-spaced, two-column pages
using at least 11 point size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. All accepted
workshop papers will appear in the MASS 2007 Proceedings published by IEEE.
Please refer to the conference web site for details on formatting and to the
workshop site for submission instructions.
