crowdfunding per un libro CC? proviamo
by Simone Aliprandi Sept. 25, 2012

Sept. 25, 2012

Era da un po' che ero incuriosito dal fenomeno del "crowdfunding" e alla fine ho deciso di fare un esperimento con la versione in spagnolo del libro "Creative Commons: manuale operativo" (che è in lavorazione proprio in questi mesi). Ovviamente, il libro è rivolto più che altro ad un'audience di spagnoli e sudamericani, ma confido che anche tra gli italiani si possano trovare alcuni generosi finanziatori per il progetto. Qui trovate maggiori dettagli sull'iniziativa: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2012/09/crowdfunding-libro-cc.html Confido nel vostro supporto... non tanto a livello di donazioni, quanto a livello di diffusione della notizia, possibilmente tra contatti spagnoli o sudamericani (se ne avete). Grazie in anticipo. Un caro saluto, -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org

Purtroppo, Internet a banda larga non è garantita a tutti in uguale misura, non per cause tecnologiche, ma per motivi esclusivamente economici: *assenza di margini immediati nel realizzare infrastrutture, mancanza di previsioni di guadagno a breve/medio termine*. Se politiche di sviluppo analoghe fossero state seguite negli anni scorsi, oggi una buona parte del nostro Paese sarebbe senza acqua, luce, e sicuramente anche telefono. Il Laboratorio iXem del Politecnico di Torino <http://www.ixem.polito.it/index_e.htm>, a partire dalla data di fondazione, ha dedicato una parte crescente delle proprie risorse di ricerca allo sviluppo, all'implementazione e al trasferimento tecnologico di sistemi di telecomunicazione a basso costo, di semplice installazione, di facile manutenzione, e di consumo energetico contenuto, per favorire lo sviluppo delle ICT laddove più forte è il bisogno di connettività. Di questi temi discuterà il prof. *Daniele Trinchero*, docente del Politecnico di Torino e direttore del Laboratorio iXem. /Durante l'incontro saranno disponibili panini e bibite per coloro che si saranno registrati su http://lunch04.eventbrite.com/ entro il 24 settembre./ BIOGRAFIE - e informazioni supplementari [Trinchero] DANIELE TRINCHERO - è docente presso il Politecnico di Torino, dove dirige il Laboratorio iXem <http://www.ixem.polito.it/index_e.htm> (da lui fondato con Riccardo Stefanelli nel 2004).

Fwd: Surveillance or Security?-Susan Landau a Milano-24 settembre 2012-ore 14.30
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

Ricevo e volentieri inoltro. juan carlos -------- Original Message -------- Tech and Law Center * Susan Landau - Lunedì, 24 settembre 2012 -- Ore 14.30 - Aula Magna del Politecnico di Milano* Il 24 settembre alle ore 14.30 presso, l'Aula Magna del Politecnico di Milano, il Tech and Law Center è lieto di avere come ospite Susan Landau con una lezione dal titolo "Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technology". Durante l'incontro, Susan Landau presenterà alcuni dei temi trattati nella sua recente pubblicazione in tema di sorveglianza elettronica evidenziando l'interazione tra privacy, cybersecurity e public policy. Le nuove tecnologie di sorveglianza elettronica, infatti, non si scontrano solo con il problema della privacy, ma anche con quello della sicurezza informatica che sempre più spesso viene penalizzata dalle politiche del "controllo" sviluppate a livello nazionale e internazionale. I risultati dei suoi studi dimostrano, inoltre, come le intercettazioni telefoniche e telematiche abbiano, in termini di costi/benefici, un'efficacia limitata e come la crittografia non costituisca una reale soluzione per tutelare la privacy degli utenti. Questi ed altri interessanti spunti costituiranno la base per il dibattito successivo coordinato da Stefano Zanero, Francesca Bosco e Giuseppe Vaciago. Susan Landau è attualmente Visiting Scholar al Computer Science Department della Harvard University. Ha relazionato più volte il Congresso degli Stati Uniti su temi legati alle nuove tecnologie tra cui i Digital Right Management (DRM), la sicurezza informatica e la privacy nei sistemi di identificazione digitale. Susan Landau ha ricoperto ruoli di grande prestigio all'interno di Sun Microsystem tra il 1999 e il 2010. Prima di questa esperienza è stata docente di computer science alla University of Massachusetts e alla Wesleyan University. È stata coautrice di "Privacy on the Line" con Whitfield Diffie e la sua ultima pubblicazione "Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technology", edita da MIT Press, è stata premiata come miglior libro dell'anno dal Surveillance Studies Network. Susan Landau è anche membro del National Research Council Computer Science and Telecommunications Board ed è nel comitato scientifico della National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering. Si possono trovare più informazioni sul sito: http://www.techandlaw.net/talks/ Inoltre si può leggere qui una sua recente intervista rilasciata a Tech and Law: http://www.techandlaw.net/resources/interviews/ L'evento si terrà in lingua inglese.Non è prevista traduzione in italiano. *Susan Landau's Talk - Monday, 24 September 2012 -- At 14.30 - Aula Magna, Politecnico di Milano* On 24 September at 14.30 at the Aula Magna of Politecnico di Milano, Tech and Law Center is pleased to have as a guest Susan Landau with a talk on "Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technology". During the event, Susan Landau will present some of the issues raised in her recent publication on the subject of electronic surveillance, highlighting the interplay between privacy, cybersecurity and public policy. The new technologies of electronic surveillance, in fact, not only collide with the issue of privacy, but also with that of security, that is increasingly being penalized by the policies of "control" developed at national and international level. The results of her studies also demonstrate how wiretapping has, in terms of cost / benefit, limited efficacy and how encryption is not a real solution to protect users' privacy. These and other interesting ideas will form the basis for the following debate coordinated by Stefano Zanero, Francesca Bosco and Giuseppe Vaciago. Susan Landau is a Visiting Scholar in the Computer Science Department at Harvard University. She has briefed Congress on a variety of issues, including digital rights management and security and privacy of digital identity systems. Landau was a distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems from 1999 to 2010; before that, she taught computer science at the University of Massachusetts and Wesleyan University. She is the coauthor, with Whitfield Diffie, of "Privacy on the Line: the Politics of Wiretapping and Encryption" (MIT Press, 1998; revised 2007). Her book "Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies" has been awarded the annual book prize by the Surveillance Studies Network. More information at: http://www.techandlaw.net/talks/ Here you can find her recent interview made by Tech and Law Center: http://www.techandlaw.net/resources/interviews/ The event will be held in English. No Italian translation foreseen.

Fwd: ICAIL 2013 call for papers
by eleonora.bassi＠unito.it Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

segnalo per chi fosse interessato. un saluto, eleonora ------------------ Messaggio originale ------------------- Oggetto: [Enforce] ICAIL 2013 call for papers Da: "Salvatore Ruggieri" <ruggieri(a)di.unipi.it> Data: Ven, 21 Settembre 2012, 12:35 pm A: "enforce(a)di.unipi.it" <enforce(a)di.unipi.it> ---------------------------------------------------------- 14th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence & Law (ICAIL 2013) June 10 - June 14, 2013 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council of Italy) Rome, Italy http://icail2013.ittig.cnr.it Sponsored by: The International Association for Artificial Intelligence and Law (IAAIL) ITTIG-CNR (Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques of the CNR) Call for Papers, Workshop Proposals and Demonstrations The field of AI and Law is concerned with: * the study of legal reasoning using computational methods * the study of AI and other advanced information technologies, using law as an example domain * formal models of norms, normative systems, norm-governed societies * legal and quasi-legal applications of AI and other advanced information technologies The ICAIL conference is the primary international conference addressing research in Artificial Intelligence and Law, and has been organized biennially since 1987 under the auspices of the International Association for Artificial Intelligence and Law (IAAIL). ICAIL provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research results and practical applications; it fosters interdisciplinary and international collaboration. The conference proceedings are published by ACM. The journal Artificial Intelligence and Law regularly publishes expanded versions of selected ICAIL papers. ICAIL 2013, the fourteenth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law, invites the submission of papers on a broad spectrum of research topics. Authors are invited to submit papers on topics including but not restricted to * Formal and computational models of legal reasoning * Knowledge acquisition techniques for the legal domain, including natural language processing and data mining * Computational models of argumentation and decision making * Legal knowledge representation including legal ontologies and common sense knowledge * Automatic legal text classification and summarization * Automated information extraction from legal databases and texts * Machine learning and data mining applied to legal databases * Conceptual or model-based legal information retrieval * E-discovery and e-disclosure * E-government and e-justice * Computational models of evidential reasoning * Modeling norms for multi-agent systems * Modeling negotiation and contract formation * Computational models of case-based legal reasoning * Online dispute resolution * Intelligent legal tutoring systems * Intelligent support systems for the legal domain * Interdisciplinary applications of legal informatics methods and systems Two tracks: regular papers and innovative applications papers For ICAIL 2013, authors are invited to submit papers in one of two tracks: regular and innovative applications. In addition to papers about results and findings from systems, approaches, or theoretical models (in the conference's regular track), we encourage the submission of original papers about innovative applications. Both regular track papers and innovative applications papers will be assessed in a rigorous reviewing procedure. Standard assessment criteria for research papers will apply to all submissions (relevance, originality, significance, technical quality, evaluation, presentation). Papers proposing formal or computational models should provide examples and/or simulations that show the models' applicability to a realistic legal problem or domain. Papers on innovative applications should describe clearly the motivations behind the project, the techniques employed, and the current state of both implementation and evaluation. All papers should make clear their relation to prior work. Demonstrations A session will be organized for the demonstration of creative, robust and practical working applications and tools. Where a demonstration is not connected to a paper in a track, a two-page extended abstract about the system should be submitted for review by the paper submission deadline via the conference management system and following the conference style. Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings. For those demonstrations that are connected to a paper in the regular track or innovative applications track, no separate statement about the demonstration should be submitted. ICAIL Workshops and Tutorials ICAIL 2013 will include workshops and tutorials on the first and last days. Proposals for workshops and tutorials are invited, and should be sent to the Program Chair. Tutorials should cover a broad topic of relevance to the AI and Law community. Proposals should contain enough information to permit evaluation on the basis of importance, quality, and community interest. Each workshop should have one or more designated organizers and a program or organizing committee. Proposals should be 2 to 4 pages and include at least the following information: * The workshop or tutorial topic and goals, their significance, and their appropriateness for ICAIL 2013 * The intended audience, including the research areas from which participants may come, the likely number of participants (with some of their names, if known), and plans for publicizing the workshop * Organization of the workshop or tutorial, including the intended format (such as invited talks, presentations, panel discussions, or other methods for ensuring an interactive atmosphere) and the expected length (full day or half day) * Organizers' details: a description of the main organizers' backgrounds in the proposed topic; and complete addresses including web pages of all organizers and committee members (if applicable). Mentoring Program for ICAIL 2013 The International Association for AI and Law (IAAIL) will offer a mentoring program for papers being submitted to ICAIL. The program is intended primarily for junior authors who have not previously published an Artificial Intelligence and Law paper at a conference or in a journal. If you would like help with your submission, you may ask for a mentor: a person who will help you with your submission to the IAAIL audience through one-on-one advising, usually via email. To request a mentor, please send email to Jack Conrad at Jack.G.Conrad(a)ThomsonReuters.com<mailto:Jack.G.Conrad@ThomsonReuters.com> by the Mentoring program request deadline. Please include your name and the names of your co-authors; the name of your school/department and institution; a plain-text description of your work (a title and abstract is a minimum requirement); and any specific questions or areas in which you would like help. For further details about the mentoring program, see http://icail2013.ittig.cnr.it. Important Dates These dates are tentative and subject to change * Mentoring program request deadline: November 9, 2012 * Mentoring program paper deadline: November 16, 2012 * Submission of workshop and tutorial proposals: December 7, 2012 * Submission of abstracts (optional): January 11, 2013 * Submission of papers deadline: January 18, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: March 20, 2013 * Final revised and formatted papers due: April 19, 2013 * Conference: June 10 - June 14, 2013 Submission Details Papers should not exceed 5000 words.
