Call for Papers

Scope

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus, the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and important for every organization. This poses several challenging problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

• Privacy Information Management
• Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
• Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
• Privacy in Trust Management
• Privacy Data Integration
• Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
• Privacy Services
• Privacy Policy Analysis
• Cryptography
• Cryptanalysis
• Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
• Privacy Preserving Data Mining
• Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
• Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
• Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
• Privacy in Social Networks
• Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
• Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
• Code-based Cryptology
• Privacy in computer networks
• Privacy and RFIDs

• Privacy in sensor networks

Submission guidelines

Authors must submit their papers using the EasyChair web site and following the requirements stated there.

Papers should be at most 15 pages (using 11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be written in English.

The submitted paper (in PDF format) should follow the template indicated by Springer (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It must start with a title, a short abstract, names and affiliations of the authors, and a list of keywords.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

It is expected that extended and revised version of the best papers from the workshop will be considered for international journal special issues.

Travel Grants

Thanks to support from the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy, we are able to offer stipends to offset some of the costs associated with attending the DPM workshop for participants coming from transition countries, which we define as those having GDP per capita less than 20000 international dollars, according to the World Bank's list.

The Chair can provide 2 grants to cover expenses up to 500 EUR each. Priority will be given to authors and students.

Interested participants please send a mail with your vitae to the Organizing Committee
