------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers 5th International Workshop on Privacy in UbiComp - Technologies, Users, Policy - ------------------------------------------------ September 16, 2007, Inssbruck, Austria www.vs.inf.ethz.ch/events/uc07privacy/ Since 2002, the workshop on Privacy in Ubiquitous Computing has focused on technical, social, and legal solutions to supporting personal privacy issues in Ubiquitous Computing. It has since become one of the primary sources for privacy research in Ubiquitous Computing. The 2007 workshop will be grouped around three themes: technology, users, and policy. Renowned experts have agreed to summarize the current state-of-the-art in the respective areas and will present concise summaries for several relevant subtopics. This call solicits short research contributions and position papers that complement these summaries to present late-breaking work and novel discussion points in each of these areas. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 1. Technology Challenges - RFID Technology: latest developments, infrastructure issues,... - Location Systems: practical use of concepts, economic models,... - Sensors and Sensor Networks: approaches, tradeoffs,... 2. The User Perspective - Usable Privacy: controls and defaults, intelligent agents,... - User Acceptance: perceptions, reactions, trust, education,... 3. Legal and Policy Issues - Legal Issues and Developments: cases, policy updates,... Submissions should be no more than 6 pages (including references) in a two-column format. Accepted submissions will be published in the UbiComp Adjunct Proceedings and their authors invited to the workshop for presentations. Selected submissions will also be considered for publication in a special issue of the Springer journal "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing".
