CFP:  9th International Conference on C - Transforming Communities
3 - 7 June 2019, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria

The biennial Communities and Technologies (C) conference is the
premier international forum for stimulating scholarly debate and
disseminating research on the complex connections between communities –
in their multiple forms – and information and communication
technologies.

C 2019 welcomes participation from researchers, designers, educators,
industry, and students from the many disciplines and perspectives
bearing on the interaction between communities and technologies,
including architecture, arts, business, design, economics, education,
engineering, ergonomics, informatics, information technology,
geography, health, humanities, law, media and communication studies,
and social sciences.

C's 2019 theme, "Transforming Communities", embraces a dynamic view
of communities. We recognize how communities are rooted in the
construction of solidarities and mutual recognition at the same time
there is tension and desire for change. We welcome scholarly
contributions that pay particular attention to the roles of technology,
and technology design, in the making, un-making, and re-making of
communities. Please consider submitting a paper (details below).

In case you hadn't seen this...  How do *we* respond?


*What 7 creepy patents reveal about Facebook *

*https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/21/opinion/sunday/facebook-patents-privacy.html*



*Reading your relationships*

One patent application discusses predicting whether you’re in a romantic
relationship using information such as how many times you visit another
user’s page, the number of people in your profile picture and the
percentage of your friends of a different gender.

*U.S. PATENT APPLICATION NO. 14/295,543*




*Classifying your personality*

Another proposes using your posts and messages to infer personality traits.
It describes judging your degree of extroversion, openness or emotional
stability, then using those characteristics to select which news stories or
ads to display.

*U.S. PATENT NO. 9,740,752*




*Predicting your future*

This patent application describes using your posts and messages, in
addition to your credit card transactions and location, to predict when a
major life event, such as a birth, death or graduation, is likely to occur.

*U.S. PATENT APPLICATION NO. 12/839,350*




*Identifying your camera*

Another considers analyzing pictures to create a unique camera “signature”
using faulty pixels or lens scratches. That signature could be used to
figure out that you know someone who uploads pictures taken on your device,
even if you weren’t previously connected. Or it might be used to guess the
“affinity” between you and a friend based on how frequently you use the
same camera.

*U.S. PATENT NO. 8,472,662*




*Listening to your environment*

This patent application explores using your phone microphone to identify
the television shows you watched and whether ads were muted. It also
proposes using the electrical interference pattern created by your
television power cable to guess which show is playing.

*U.S. PATENT APPLICATION NO. 14/985,089*




Facebook Creepy Patent 6.

*Tracking your routine*

Another patent application discusses tracking your weekly routine and
sending notifications to other users of deviations from the routine. In
addition, it describes using your phone’s location in the middle of the
night to establish where you live.

*U.S. PATENT APPLICATION NO. 15/203,063*




*Inferring your habits*

This patent proposes correlating the location of your phone to locations of
your friends’ phones to deduce whom you socialize with most often. It also
proposes monitoring when your phone is stationary to track how many hours
you sleep.

*U.S. PATENT NO. 9,369,983*
