Summary of the Call for Papers

The Brussels Privacy Symposium, which is a joint program of the
Brussels Privacy Hub of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free
University of Brussels or VUB) and the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF)
is hosting an academic workshop on Identifiability: Policy and
Practical Solutions for Anonymization and Pseudonymization.

De-identification-the process of modifying personal data to ensure
that data subjects are no longer identifiable-is one of the primary
measures that organizations use to protect privacy. Over the past few
years, however, computer scientists and mathematicians have
demonstrated that de-identification is not foolproof. At the same
time, organizations around the world necessarily continue to rely on a
wide range of technical, administrative and legal measures to reduce
data identifiability. This call seeks papers on technical, policy and
ethical aspects of the de-identification debate.

Authors from multiple disciplines including law, computer science,
statistics, engineering, social science, ethics and business are
invited to submit papers for presentation at a full-day program to
take place in Someplace, Brussels on November 8, 2016.

An academic advisory board will choose papers for presentation at the
workshop. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a
special symposium of International Data Privacy Law, a law journal
published by Oxford University Press (subject to the journal's normal
editorial procedures)

Submissions must be 2,500 to 3,500 words with minimal footnotes and in
a readable style accessible to a wide academic audience. Abstracts
must be submitted no later than August 1, 2016, at 11:59 PM ET, to
papersubmissions@fpf.org. Papers must be submitted no later than
October 1, 2016, at 11:59 PM ET, to
papersubmissions@fpf.org. Publication decisions and workshop
invitations will be sent in October.
