CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd international conference I 29 & 30 January 2010 I Brussels BelgiuM

Computers, Privacy & Data Protection

An Element of Choice

Computers, Privacy and Data Protection – CPDP 2010 is Europe’s most important meeting for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and activists to come together, exchange ideas and discuss emerging issues of information technology, privacy, data protection and law.

CPDP is organised by
the Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
the Université de Namur,
the Tilburg University,
the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique
and
the Fraunhofer Institut für System und Innovationsforschung.
 

    SUBJECT    

The CPDP comprises panel discussions with policy stakeholders (such as the European Commission and supervisory bodies), as well as workshop presentations on specific topics from the theory and practice of information privacy and Data Protection law and technology.

This year’s conference theme ‘An Element of Choice’ is chosen because of the many options open for data protection policy. Technological change is dictated by higher forces, but can be steered. Values such as freedom and privacy can be defended or abandoned. A genuine choice is possible.

Suitable topics for workshop papers include technical and organisational measures for protecting security and privacy in cloud computing (for which there is a separate call below); the structure of data protection policy within the European Commission; privacy in ambient intelligence; reforms to the data protection legislation; privacy technologies (especially socio-political and economic analysis); transparency tools and individual privacy rights.
 

    INVITATION    

The CPDP Scientific Committee invites contributions from scholars, PhD students and experts in the areas of social sciences and computer sciences, and civil society advocacy. Suggested topics include, but are not restricted to:

• Review of the Data Protection Directive (directive 95/46/EC);
• Right of Subject’s Access;
• Data Retention, Collection and “Sharing” without consent;
• Right to be Forgotten and Right not be Recognized;
• Identity;
• Smart Vehicles;
• Information Security;
• Surveillance and Strategies of CounterSurveillance;
• Privacy Advocacy;
• Data Protection and the Third Pillar;
• Ambient Intelligence;
• Market and regulatory failure in EU policies.
 

    CALL FOR PAPERS    

The Scientific Committee is seeking submission of position and (full) academic papers for oral presentations
(Position papers in academia enable discussion on emerging topics without the experimentation and original research normally present in an academic paper. Commonly, such a document will substantiate the opinions or positions put forward with evidence from an extensive objective discussion of the topic (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_paper). The maximum page limit for Position Papers is 10 pages, while for Full Papers is 15 pages.)

Presentations will be either integrated in the most relevant panel-session and workshop,
or in a specific PhD evening session (29th January 2009).

Position and academic papers will be peer reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee and other independent reviewers (where necessary). In order to guarantee the process of double-blind review, identifying information should be removed. Please send in a separate Word attachment the following information: Title, Affiliation and Author’s name.
 

    CONFERENCE BOOK    

All presented papers will be published in the conference book. (See the follow-up book of the first CPDP conference: http://www.springer.com/law/book/978-1-4020-9497-2)

For position papers, authors must send the entire paper and identifying information by 16 November 2009.
Notification will be provided by the 15 December 2009.

For full papers, authors must provide a 200 words abstract by 16 November 2009. Notification of acceptance will be provided by 30 November 2009, and accepted full papers are due by 21 December 2009.

Abstracts, contributions and identifying information should be sent by electronic mail in word documents to
Ronald Leenes (Tilburg University) r.e.leenes@uvt.nl

PART OF Computers, Privacy & Data Protection I CPDP 2010

Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing

WWW.CPDPconferenceS.ORG

An increasing amount of data is stored and processed outside the control of the owner. Outsourcing,
software-as-a-service, infrastructure renting and social networking sites change the way we think about
information handling. Instead of managing our own information, we leave it somewhere “out there”.
The development of providing information technology as a service is currently reaching its apex
in cloud computing: a technology that provides on-demand access to massively scalable resources.
When theinformation being processed is sensitive, security and privacy concerns are inevitable. How can we protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information that is processed outside our control?

In the SPCC workshop, we seek technical and organisational solutions for protecting security and
privacy in cloud computing environments. The workshop will consist of keynote lectures as well as
presentations of submitted papers.
 

    TOPICS    

The Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Understanding cloud security and privacy
security modelling and threat analysis
security requirements engineering
interaction between the physical, digital and social security domains

Technical security mechanisms for cloud computing
access control
applied cryptography and protocols
centralised vs. decentralised security architectures
data-centric security and data classification
identity-centric security and identity management

Cloud computing in organisational and societal context
auditing
incident identification and management
risk analysis and risk management
trust management
economic, social and legal aspects

 

    CALL FOR PAPERS    

Technical contributions should provide insight into business and/or societal value. Papers and presentations should be targeted to a broad audience, including information security experts, legal experts, policy makers, and social scientists.

We especially encourage submission of papers that connect two or more of the above topics. Papers should be PDF, in Springer book chapter style (http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0), without author identification, and should be submitted through the EasyChair website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spcc2010) by 16 November 2009. We accept both position papers (maximum 10 pages) and full papers (maximum 15 pages).

Papers will be selected based on blind review. Submission implies that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will register for the conference and present the paper in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the book of the CPDP conference (post-proceedings).

Submission Deadline: 16 November 2009
Notification of Acceptance: 15 December 2009
Papers’ Presentation at CPDP: 29 January 2010
