************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ************************************************************** 2018 Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (WPES 2018) October 15, 2018 Toronto, Canada In conjunction with ACM CCS 2018 <https://wpes.tech/> **************************************************************
The Information Revolution has thoroughly transformed society. One of the major implications of this technological shift has been a massive increase in the collection, sharing, and analysis of personal data. The goal of this workshop is to discuss the privacy problems that result as well as their solutions. This will be the 17th occurrence of this annual forum, which is held in conjunction with the ACM CCS conference (https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2018/). The workshop seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Paper Submission due: July 25, 2018 (11:59 PM American Samoa Time), firm deadline Notification to authors: August 15, 2018 Camera ready due: August 19, 2018 *** TOPICS *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - bias and fairness in machine learning - blockchain and cryptocurrency privacy - communication privacy - economics of privacy - human rights and privacy - Internet of Things privacy - location privacy - machine-learning privacy - medical privacy - mobile-device privacy - private data analysis - privacy-enhancing technologies - privacy policies - privacy threats - social-network privacy - usable privacy technologies - Web privacy *** PAPER SUBMISSIONS *** Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Regular submissions should be at most 12 pages in the ACM double-column format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions should be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages to describe. Authors of regular submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as a short paper (4 proceedings pages). Submissions are to be made on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpes2018). You will be requested to upload the file of your paper (in PDF format only). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of July 25, 2018 to be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by August 15, 2018. The camera ready must be prepared by August 19, 2018. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM on a CD, available to the workshop attendees. Papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library, with a specific ISBN. Each accepted paper must be presented by an author, who will have to be registered by the early-bird registration deadline. *** PROGRAM CHAIR *** Aaron Johnson U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, USA *** PROGRAM COMMITTEE *** Sadia Afroz International Computer Science Institute, USA Aylin Caliskan Princeton University, USA Eric Chan-Tin Loyola University, USA George Danezis University College London, United Kingdom Anupam Das Carnegie Mellon University, USA Sabrina De Capitani di Vimercati Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Simson Garfinkel U.S. Census Bureau, USA Cesar Ghali Google, USA Xi He Duke University, USA & University of Waterloo, Canada Ryan Henry Indiana University, USA Nicholas Hopper University of Minnesota, USA Suman Jana Columbia University, USA Limin Jia Carnegie Mellon University, USA Marc Juarez KU Leuven, Belgium Murat Kantarcioglu University of Texas at Dallas, USA Apu Kapadia Indiana University Bloomington, USA Aniket Kate Purdue University, USA Stefan Katzenbeisser Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Florian Kerschbaum University of Waterloo, Canada Albert Kwon MIT, USA Peeter Laud Cybernetica, Estonia Ada Lerner Wellesley College, USA Yifang Li Clemson University, USA Changchang Liu IBM Research & Princeton University, USA Wouter Lueks EPFL, Switzerland Allison Mankin Salesforce & IRTF, USA Piotr Mardziel Carnegie Mellon University, USA Travis Mayberry U.S. Naval Academy, USA Jonathan Mayer Princeton University, USA Sebastian Meiser University College London, United Kingdom Ian Miers Cornell Tech, USA Aziz Mohaisen University of Central Florida, USA Pedro Moreno-Sanchez Purdue University, USA Shirin Nilizadeh Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, USA Rishab Nithyanand Data & Society Research Institute, USA Andriy Panchenko Brandenburg Technical University, Germany Indrakshi Ray Colorado State University, USA Joel Reardon University of Calgary, Canada Kui Ren State University of New York at Buffalo, USA Alfredo Rial University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Max Schuchard University of Tennessee , USA Aaron Segal Google, USA Mahmood Sharif Carnegie Mellon University, USA Paul Syverson U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, USA Wajih Ul Hassan University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Eugene Vasserman Kansas State University, USA Tao Wang Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China Susanne Wetzel Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Christo Wilson Northeastern University, USA Arkady Yerukhimovich MIT Lincoln Laboratory & George Washington University, USA Nan Zhang Penn State University, USA *** STEERING COMMITTEE *** Sabrina De Capitani di Vimercati Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Sushil Jajodia George Mason University, USA Pierangela Samarati (Chair) Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Paul Syverson U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, USA This call for papers and additional information about the conference can be found at <https://wpes.tech/>.
