WHOLES -  A Multiple View of Individual Privacy in a Networked World

Stockholm, Sweden, January 30-31, 2004

Workshop Web site: http://www.sics.se/privacy/wholes2004

With this workshop, we seek to explore interdisciplinary approaches to
helping individuals in managing their privacy in the context of
emerging information technologies. We are particularly interested in
usability and applicability aspects of this theme. We also seek to
learn how different perspectives may be combined to produce a deeper
understanding of the issues. Privacy may from a scientific perspective
be an intangible concept, but is nevertheless essential to us all and
is an important motivational factor as we continuously make choices
about how to act and what to say. Throughout history, there has been a
huge variation in the way privacy has been understood and the
strategies people have used to protect themselves. As with all major
changes in society, emerging information technologies are about to
reshape the concept yet again. Technological innovations for
communication, business, entertainment, and so forth, effectively
permeate many activities in our everyday lives orkshop. Submissions
are expected to stimulate multi-disciplinary discussions within the
workshop theme. Since space is limited, only authors of accepted
submissions will be invited to participate at the workshop. The
accepted submissions will be included in the workshop proceedings and
made available to the participants prior to the event on the workshop
Web site. Please submit your contribution no later than October 31,
2003 by email to markus.bylund@sics.se.
