COMPUTERS, FREEDOM, AND PRIVACY CONFERENCE: Panopticon 2005 12-15 Apr 2005, Westin Hotel, Seattle, WA http://www.cfp2005.org The 15th annual conference on Computers, Freedom & Privacy takes place from Wednesday 12 Apr to Friday 15 Apr 2005, in Seattle, Washington. The Program Committee is now accepting proposals for conference sessions and speakers for CFP2005. The deadline for submissions is 31 Dec 2004. CFP serves as an internationally recognized forum for the members of the technical, government, hacker, legal, business, education, media, cyber-rights, and non-profit communities to address cutting edge technical, business, legal and cultural issues. Programs, topics, and speakers from prior years' CFP conferences can be found at: www.cfp.org The CFP2005 Program Committee welcomes proposals on all aspects of technology, freedom and privacy. We are particularly interested in receiving proposals that ask the hard questions about privacy and freedom in emerging surveillance societies, and challenging those assumptions. For example, how much surveillance is too much? When does surveillance cease making us more secure and begin to change the fabric of society? The theme of the 15th CFP is "Panopticon 2005." Over time, and particularly recently, surveillance of ordinary citizens has increased to dramatic levels. Not only are governments watching more aspects of their citizens' lives, but those in the private sector are increasing surveillance of people as well. Often lost in the race to "increase intelligence" are discussions about different approaches to address problems like the threat of terrorism that are equally or more effective, but do not involve extensive and constant surveillance. Other areas of interest include: 1. domestic and international travel issues 2. communications surveillance 3. children and young adults growing up in a surveillance society 4. social networking 5. the flourishing of free speech (i.e. blogging) in spite of increased watchfulness 6. RFIDs and other emerging technologies 7. Intellectual property issues All submissions must be received by 31 Dec 2004.
