Call for Papers

The need for privacy-aware policies, regulations, and techniques has been widely recognized. This workshop discusses the problems of privacy in the global interconnected societies and possible solutions. The 2009 Workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM CCS 2009 conference, is the eighth in a yearly forum for papers on all the different aspects of privacy in today's electronic society.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

anonymity, pseudonymity, and unlinkability privacy and confidentiality management
data correlation and leakage attacks privacy in the electronic records
data management technology and privacy privacy in health care and public administration
electronic communication privacy privacy and data mining
information dissemination control privacy and virtual identity
personally identifiable information privacy-aware access control
privacy in the digital business privacy policy enforcement
privacy enhancing technologies public records and personal privacy
privacy policies relationships between privacy and security
privacy and anonymity in the Web user profiling
privacy threats wireless privacy
privacy and human rights economics of privacy


Paper submission
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Regular submissions should be at most 10 pages in the ACM double-column format, excluding well-marked appendices, and at most 14 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions are not required to be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages to describe. Authors of regular submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as a short paper (4 proceedings pages).

Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpes09. You will be requested to upload the file of your paper (in PDF format only). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of June 19, 2009 to be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by August 8, 2009. The camera ready must be prepared by August 25, 2009 (firm). Proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM on a CD, available to the workshop attendees. Papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library, with a specific ISBN. Each accepted paper must be presented by an author, who will have registered by the early-bird registration deadline.
