CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Workshop on Privacy and Data Protection Technology (PDPT)

http://www.apc2012.org/content/pdpt12/

As part of the Amsterdam Privacy Conference, Oct 7-10 2012 in the
Netherlands, the first International Workshop on Privacy and Data
Protection Technology (PDPT) seeks to be a lively forum for discussing
novel technical privacy and data protection solutions. Translating privacy
and data protection laws and regulations, such as the upcoming revision of
the European data protection framework, can be a difficult and challenging
problem. This workshop aims to shed light on the problems that occur when
translating privacy requirements and (international) regulations into
technology.

PDPT invites papers that address technical problems and solutions to control
privacy and to protect data in a wide variety of large-scale distributed
systems that process personal data -- ranging from smart metering systems to
social networking sites, to intelligent transport systems.

PDPT sollicits papers on practical technical contributions including novel
solutions for privacy and data protection in large-scale distributed systems
and applications. The workshop seeks to explore novel technologies and
innovative ideas, as well as concrete use cases and practical problems relating
to privacy protection. We also invite experience papers that describe privacy
enhancing technology, data protection controls, privacy by design and privacy
assessments of real-world systems.

The workshop accepts the following types of submissions:

- 1 or 2-page abstracts for oral or poster presentations;
- position papers up to 4 pages, presenting challenging issues or novel
   approaches on privacy and data protection;
- full papers up to 10 pages, presenting more mature research results or
   experience papers.

Paper submissions will be peer reviewed and, if accepted, included in the APC
conference proceedings.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- privacy by design
- technical security: privacy policies, mechanisms
- auditing and provenance
- analysis of security in existing systems
- privacy issues in smart metering systems, internet of things, etc.
- apps and mobility
- privacy implications of tracking data and data access
- implementation of removal rights and the right to be forgotten
- transparency (by design)
- authentication and authorization, access control mechanisms
- fine-grained information flow policies
- (sticky) privacy policies
- cloud security
- consent management
- privacy enhancing technologies
- de-identification and anonymization/pseudonymization
- cryptographic data protection techniques, key management
- centalized versus decentralized architectures
- threat models, vulnerabilities, forensics and intrusion detection
- data breach management and notification
- the human factor: usability and security
- stakeholder influence on design
- privacy impact and (security) risk assessments

Submitted papers should clearly demonstrate the relation to the broader privacy
and data protection questions discussed at the conference. Contributions from
computer science as well as other disciplines are allowed. Although technical
contributions are invited, presentations at the conference should be
comprehensible to APC's multidisciplinary audience.

Deadlines:
- June 16 2012: paper/abstract submission deadline (extended deadline)
- July 12 2012: notification of acceptance
- July 27 2012: camera ready submission deadline
- Oct 8-10 2012: workshop (precise date TBA)

should use a single-column style comparable to the LNCS templates, or be
similar to the easychair-a4.pdf file contained in the above ZIP file.
Submissions are not blind, and should contain full author and affiliation
details. Abstracts or position papers should contain a footnote or another
clear indication of the submission type (i.e., abstract or position paper)
on the first page of the submission. Abstracts may be accepted as posters
or for oral presentations, at the organization's discretion.

Submission deadline:
The extended deadline is June 16, 2012, 23:59 (any timezone).
