CPDP2018 Call for Papers - deadline 29 September 2017

by Imge Ozcan

CfP Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) 2018 – The Internet of Bodies http://www.cpdpconferences.org/callforpapers.html CPDP is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection. The 11th edition of CPDP will be held on 24-26 January 2018 in Brussels. Whilst a number of speakers are specifically invited by the conference, several slots remain open to application through an annual call for papers. The CPDP2018 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers who wish to present their papers at the next Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference. The call is split into two different tracks. The first is dedicated to experienced researchers (i.e. from postdoctoral researchers on), while the second welcomes PhD students and other junior researchers. Contributions are welcome from all disciplines with perspectives on the themes of the conference. The dual-track structure of the CPDP2018 Call for Papers aims to meet the increasing interest of researchers – from all levels and from multiple disciplines – in CPDP and their expectations in terms of academic feedback and exchange. Please submit your contribution through the EasyChair conference system by following this link: https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=59178174.AnqUZ2LEr004TktL The overarching theme of the 2018 edition is the “Internet of Bodies”. Data collection increasingly focuses on the physical body. Bodies are increasingly connected, digitized and informatized. In turn, the data extracted is reassembled in ways that give rise to significant questions – challenging fundamental assumptions about where the corporeal ends and the informational begins. Biometrics, genetic data processing and the quantified self are only some of the trends and technologies reaching into the depths of our bodies. Emerging technologies such as human enhancement, neural implants and brain wave technology look likely to soon become a daily reality. RELEVANT FIELDS AND TOPICS The CPDP Scientific Committee invites papers in the fields of law, social sciences, philosophy and computer sciences (as well as other relevant fields). Multidisciplinary papers are particularly welcome. In particular, this call aims to reach researchers whose works relate to new technologies, privacy and data protection. Selected researchers will have the valuable opportunity to present their papers in the conference academic sessions. The main theme highlighted this year is “The Internet of Bodies”, but we welcome any original topics related to the general themes of the conference and especially encourage technology-focused and interdisciplinary submissions. For more information about the topics presented at previous editions of CPDP, please visit http://www.cpdpconferences.org/archive.html In case of doubt regarding the suitability of a contribution for the conference, please contact Lorenzo Dalla Corte (lorenzo.dallacorte(a)cpdpconferences.org<mailto:lorenzo.dallacorte@cpdpconferences.org>). CPDP2018 KEY DATES * Deadline for submissions: Friday 29 September 2017 * Notification to authors: Friday 1 December 2017 Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will go through a second round of reviews for inclusion in the conference book (see below). SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors responding to this Call for Papers are asked to submit a full paper via a dedicated webpage on the EasyChair system, together with a short abstract and up to 5 keywords. Authors should select the track for which they are applying in EasyChair: either CPDP 2017 Experienced Researchers or CPDP 2017 Junior Researchers. Papers should be between 6000 and 8000 words in length, excluding footnotes and bibliography. Authors must make use of the OSCOLA (4th ed.) referencing style<https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/research-subject-groups/publications/oscola>. The text of the paper should not include the name of the author(s) and all self-references should be deleted. Submissions not meeting these criteria risk rejection without consideration of quality.

PLSC-Europe 2018 Call for Papers

by Imge Ozcan

*With the usual apology for cross-posting* PLSC-EUROPE 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS PLSC-Europe 2018 will be held in Brussels on Saturday 27 January 2018, right after CPDP2018 (http://www.cpdpconferences.org) CPDP - Computers, Privacy & Data Protection conference - is an annual gathering of academics, lawyers, practitioners, policy-makers, industry, and civil society from all over the world. Its 11th edition, "The Internet of Bodies", will take place from Wednesday 24 January to Friday 26 January 2018. PLSC-Europe will follow on Saturday 27 January 2018. Based on the popular Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) event in the United States, PLSC-Europe is dedicated to bringing together privacy law scholars, practitioners, and privacy scholars from other disciplines from across Europe and beyond to discuss current issues. PLSC-Europe aims at fostering greater connections between academia and practice (industry, legal, advocacy, and government), and at bringing together law scholars with academics and professionals from other disciplines (e.g. economics, philosophy, political science, computer science). The first PLSC-Europe was held in October 2015 in conjunction with the Amsterdam Privacy Conference, and the second one in May 2017, in conjunction with TILTing Perspectives 2017. From 2017 onwards, PLSC-Europe became a regular event co-organized by the University of Amsterdam (IvIR), Tilburg University (TILT), and the Free University Brussels (LSTS/Privacy Salon), alternating between Amsterdam, Tilburg, and Brussels. The third edition of PLSC-Europe will be held on 27 January 2018 in Brussels. PLSC is a paper workshop. Papers are not available, and proceedings will not be released. The papers discussed are works in progress, and so will not be publicly released, nor publicized: the ideas presented by the authors are often still developing, and need further incubation before being finalised. In a PLSC paper workshop, a "commenter" leads a discussion among participants on an author's paper. Authors are encouraged to listen to the discussion, rather than steer it or participate actively to it. There are no panels or keynotes at PLSC: the idea is to help the author by giving feedback and advice on the paper. Workshops are informal and friendly in nature. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS – PLSC-EUROPE 2018 We welcome the submission of abstracts on both pure and multidisciplinary legal scholarship on privacy and data protection. Please submit your abstract through the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plsceurope2018 If your abstract gets accepted for the paper workshop, you will be required to deliver a full draft before the conference, to allow participants to read the paper in advance. Key Dates * Abstract submission: 29 September 2017 * Abstract acceptance: 27 October 2017 * Workshop draft due: 22 December 2017 * Workshop: 27 January 2018 PLSC-Europe 2018 is jointly organised by Research Group on Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Privacy Salon. -- Imge Ozcan Doctoral Researcher Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) Vrije Universiteit Brussel Join us for the next edition of the CPDP conference on 24 - 26 January 2018 in Brussels: http://www.cpdpconferences.org/ [1] Links: ------ [1] http://www.cpdpconferences.org/

Infographic: 63 years of privacy case law (India)

by Chinmayi Arun

Dear All, You may already have heard that the right to privacy was recently questioned before the Indian Supreme Court. The judges will soon rule on whether it exists and how far it stretches. In preparation for the judgment, we have put together this infographic <https://ccgnludelhi.wordpress.com/2017/08/13/h/> based on our dataset of Supreme Court cases that have upheld the right to privacy over the last 63 years. This is to illustrate how rich our privacy jurisprudence has been over these decades. We have a detailed note on the background of the case here <https://ccgnludelhi.wordpress.com/2017/07/18/sc-constitution-bench-on-aadha…>. Our blog <https://ccgnludelhi.wordpress.com/> also summarises the arguments made during the hearings. Our comments on the questions being asked and the challenge before the Supreme Court are available here <http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/a-judgment-for-the-ages/article1940990…> . We welcome your feedback and any questions that you might have about the dataset. Please do circulate the infographic to anyone who might be interested in it. Best, Chinmayi and Smitha PS: The attachments were too heavy for these mailing lists but we will be happy to share the infographic with you in pdf and high definition formats if you write to us.
