From patrickgage at gmail.com Mon Jan 5 06:43:51 2015 From: patrickgage at gmail.com (Patrick Gage Kelley) Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2015 04:43:51 -0700 Subject: [Soups-announce] SOUPS 2015: Call for Tutorial, Workshop, Panel and Invited Talk proposals (due Jan 30th) Message-ID: <80BAC6A2-8CB7-42F4-B878-6666808C2435@gmail.com> This is a reminder of some of the early deadlines for SOUPS 2015. In particular, January 30th is the deadline for proposals for "Tutorials and Workshops","Panels" and "Invited Talks". SOUPS 2015 will be held at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada from July 22-24, 2015. For "Tutorials and Workshops", we are soliciting proposals for a small number of in-depth sessions on usable security and privacy. These sessions could run either a half or full day, and could be lecture-oriented (tutorial) or a group-oriented session designed to widely share experience (workshop). For "panel proposals", we are seeking proposals for panels and panelists. A good panel focuses on an issue of current concern, and has a strong and clear point of contention in the topic, in the questions, and in the panelist points of view. We encourage panels structured as debates rather than just a series of short talks. We are also interested in ideas for panels or panelists you would like to see on the program, even if you do not wish to be a panel organizer. For "invited talks", please suggest a speaker you would like to hear from, or have heard recently with something provocative or visionary to say on the topic of usable security and privacy. More information is available in the full cfp at http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2015/cfp.php Questions, suggestions and proposals should be sent to sessions at cups.cs.cmu.edu by January 30th. ----- Mike Just (Tutorials and Workshops Chair), Franzi Roesner (Invited Talks Chair) and Matthew Smith (Panels Chair) SOUPS 2015: http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2015/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Extensive surveillance and massive tracking of users on the Web are only some of today?s threats to individual privacy. In the big data era, information increasingly equals power and money, and organizations are thus motivated to collect and retain large quantities of personal and, increasingly, contextual information. The Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) aims to advance the state of the art and foster a worldwide community of researchers and practitioners to discuss innovation and new perspectives. It brings together privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives. PETS announces novel research efforts toward designing and building systems for privacy and anonymity protection as well as analyzing challenges and threats. The full program for the event can be found at http://petsymposium.org/2015/program.php: it includes 23 accepted papers, panels and a keynote talk (Jonathan Katz, Professor, University of Maryland - "Secure computation: Where do we go from here?"). Additionally, PETS will feature a one-day workshop on Hot Topics in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (HotPETs 2015). The ambition of the workshop is to foster new ideas, spirited debates, as well as controversial perspectives on privacy (and lack thereof). The program is available at http://petsymposium.org/2015/hotpets.php and includes 9 accepted papers and a keynote talk (TBA).

However, the rapid development and hasty adoption of new technologies, combined with a complicated regulatory environment, has resulted in a landscape replete with interoperability, safety, and security problems. HealthTech, formerly HealthSec, is now in its third year with a broader scope designed to encourage the development of new technologies that generally improve the quality and safety of healthcare as well as the access to it. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industrial partners, HealthTech aims to provide a forum for cross-disciplinary interactions among the technology, medicine, and policy communities. The format of HealthTech Summit has evolved as the organizers seek to serve the healthcare IT technical community. This year, rather than soliciting paper submissions, the program committee has put together a series of invited talks and panels, leveraging the advantages of the Washington, D.C. venue to bring in stakeholders from government as well as industry and academia. HealthTech will also feature a poster session as a way for researchers and practitioners to share recent advances at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Panels --------- This year's summit will feature four panels on the following topics: Human Factors Device Security Data Privacy Legal and Policy Issues Informations on panelists is available at: https://www.usenix.org/conference/healthtech15/summit-program Summit Organizers --------------- Program Co-Chairs: Apu Kapadia, Indiana University Bloomington David Kotz, Dartmouth College Program Committee: Denise Anthony, Dartmouth College Kelly Caine, Clemson University Mark Frisse, Vanderbilt University Kevin Fu, University of Michigan Raquel Hill, Indiana University Bloomington Bradley Malin, Vanderbilt University Deven McGraw, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP Nate Paul, University of South Florida Avi Rubin, Johns Hopkins University Steering Committee: Kevin Fu, University of Michigan Carl Gunter, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Casey Henderson, USENIX Association Tadayoshi Kohno, University of Washington Zachary Peterson, Naval Postgraduate School Avi Rubin, Johns Hopkins University -- Apu Kapadia, Ph.D. Associate Professor School of Informatics and Computing Indiana University Bloomington http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kapadia/, @apukapadia IU Privacy Lab: http://private.soic.indiana.edu/, @IUPrivLab From patrickgage at gmail.com Wed Jul 15 14:44:31 2015 From: patrickgage at gmail.com (Patrick Gage Kelley) Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 12:44:31 -0600 Subject: [Soups-announce] SOUPS 2015 in just one week!

On Thursday, July 23, SOUPS will honor the memory of John Karat with a short tribute during our opening session. If you have a Hawaiian-style shirt, we ask that you wear it on July 23, as that is what John always wore when he attended SOUPS. John was one of the original SOUPS program committee members and a mentor to many in the SOUPS community. John retired as a Research Staff Member at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center in 2010. While at IBM, John conducted HCI research on a variety of topics including privacy, personalization, and information management. John was co-leader of theIBM Privacy Research Institute, established to advance the importance of privacy issues in IT globally. John passed away in June of pancreatic cancer. There are still spaces remaining for lightning talks and demos at SOUPS! If you?re attending SOUPS and have a new research result or cool idea to present, please consider submitting a lightning talk or demo. Lightning talks are 5-minute talks on a variety of subjects relevant to usable security and privacy. Example topics might include emerging hot topics, preliminary research results, a research challenge that could benefit from feedback, a war story, ongoing research, a success, a failure, a future experiment, tips and tricks, a pitfall to avoid, etc. We are also seeking relevant demonstrations of visualizations, user interfaces, or interaction paradigms related to security and privacy for a demo session. Demo presentations will be 5-10 minutes long, and should convey the main idea of the interface and one or more scenarios or use cases.

Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of information systems, examined human behavior surrounding security decision-making, identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense. WEIS 2016 will build on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools not only to understand threats, but also to strengthen security and privacy through novel evaluations of available solutions. We encourage economists, computer scientists, legal scholars, business school researchers, security and privacy specialists, as well as industry experts to submit their research and participate by attending the workshop. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) empirical and theoretical studies of: - Optimal investment in information security - Models and analysis of online crime (including botnets, phishing, and spam) - Risk management and cyber-insurance - Security standards and regulation - Cyber-security and privacy policy - Security and privacy models and metrics - Economics of privacy and anonymity - Behavioral security and privacy - Vulnerability discovery, disclosure, and patching - Cyber-defense strategy and game theory - Incentives for information sharing and cooperation - Incentives for and against pervasive monitoring threats Manuscripts should represent significant and novel research contributions. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, WEIS has no formal formatting guidelines. Previous contributors spanned fields from economics and psychology to computer science and law, each with different norms and expectations about manuscript length and formatting. Selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Cybersecurity, a new, interdisciplinary, open access journal published by Oxford University Press. Thanks to our sponsors, a number of student travel grants are also available.

CHI 2016 Workshop: Bridging the Gap between Privacy by Design and Privacy in Practice San Jose, California Organizers: Luke Stark (New York University), Jen King (University of California Berkeley), Xinru Page (Bentley University), Airi Lampinen (Mobile Life Center), Jessica Vitak (University of Maryland), Pamela Wisniewski (University of Central Florida), Tara Whalen (Google), Nathan Good (Good Research) Call for Participation This intensive one-day workshop (May 7th or 8th, 2016) aims to reinvigorate conversations in the CHI community around privacy and design by refocusing attention on developing methods to systematically incorporate privacy into design processes. The workshop will bring together leading privacy researchers in academia and industry to unpack the barriers preventing ?privacy by design? (PbD) concepts from being implemented in real world contexts. Through this workshop, participants will suggest privacy heuristics focused explicitly on PbD to better address the challenges that have prevented their adoption by practitioners; formulate concrete strategies for bridging the divide between privacy research, design, and implementation; and build and strengthen academic-industry partnerships to enable new research opportunities that span these arenas. Potential participants are asked to submit 2 to 4 page position papers in CHI extended abstract format that address the workshop themes and highlighted topics provided in the call. To foster broader participation, we also encourage designers and other industry practitioners to submit alternative material of rough equivalence (e.g., a design portfolio, white paper, or similar). We encourage that authors make suggestions about relevant design guidelines, heuristics, or existing research in their papers for further discussion at the workshop. Submissions will be accepted based on the relevance and development of the chosen topic, as well as their potential to contribute to the workshop discussions and goals. Papers will be peer-reviewed by the workshop?s Program Committee, a full list of which is available on the workshop website. Submitters should also review the report from the CCC Privacy Enabling Design workshop [http://cra.org/ccc/events/pbd-privacy-enabling-design/] for background on the ongoing discussion in this area. Please submit position papers or industry relevant materials to the workshop organizers at privacybydesign2016 at gmail.com. Submission deadlines are as follows: Early acceptance round submissions (for those who require notification within the FY2015 for administrative purposes) due: December 18, 2015 Early acceptance round notifications to participants: 21 December, 2015 Final acceptance round submissions due: 13 January, 2016 Final acceptance round notifications to participants: 29 January, 2016 Participants? final submissions due: 12 February, 2016 Successful position papers, workshop information and other materials can be found at https://networkedprivacy2016.wordpress.com/. Please note that at least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop and that all participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.
