We would like to invite you to attend the second Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Symposium on Computing Research Addressing National Priorities and Societal Needs in Washington, DC on October 23-24th, 2017. The goal of the symposium is to illustrate the current and future impact of computing research in ways that will inspire a broader picture of how computing research impacts the world, and also inspire computer scientists to go after new problems they might not otherwise think about.
Over the past decade, the Computing Community Consortium has hosted dozens of research visioning workshops and written timely white papers to imagine, discuss, and debate the future of computing and its role in addressing societal needs. This symposium draws from these topics into a program designed to illuminate current and future trends in computing and the potential for computing to address national and societal needs. Farnam Jahanian, interim president of Carnegie Mellon University, as well as the past NSF CISE Assistant Director and the current chair of the CSTB Board, will be discussing computing research and its impact on societal and national priorities in his plenary address. There will also be a research poster session highlighting the work from about 40 early career faculty members from across the country.
The two days are organized around four main themes, with confirmed speakers listed below:
- Intelligent Infrastructure for our Cities and Communities
- Intelligent infrastructure is already transforming our nation’s cities and communities, but the technological revolution is just now beginning. This session will highlight some of the major advances taking place now, while at the same time emphasizing the substantial body of research, much of it crossing disciplinary boundaries, that still needs to be done.
- Confirmed speakers include:
- Michael Dunaway (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) – Plenary Speaker
- Elizabeth M. Belding (University of California, Santa Barbara) –Panelist
- Chandra Krintz (University of California, Santa Barbara) – Panelist

The "right to privacy" is a human right.
And yet it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect this privacy. For deliberately as well as unintentionally we leave behind "digital tracks". Ever new technological advances are also being used to gather more and more accurate data about us. These "digital footprints" can help us to discover something new or to understand ourselves and our environment better. They have an impact on our daily lives, our health, our cohabitation and our social fabric. But they also serve as a decision-making base on whether we get a job, an education or a loan or not. And the data stored about us has an impact on future generations, even beyond our demise.
The PrivacyWeek seeks and provides answers to the questions that are becoming ever more important for us as individuals and our society. An extraordinary conference and workshop week in Vienna. For those with whom their privacy is important.
From 23rd to 29th October, the PrivacyWeek is particularly concerned with the data and data traces that we leave online and offline. Data providers, BigData, anonymisation of data, tracking as well as analysis and evaluation of user data.
Find out what data companies are storing about you, how they evaluate them, and how to deal with the ever-increasing amount of data others are collecting about you. Numerous lectures and workshops with international experts provide you with knowledge as well as practical tips. A whole week of concentrated information!
In addition to our broad-based program, there are 3 focus days this year with the focus on special target groups: journalists, programmers and educators.
You can find a first impression of the planned program here.
At other conferences, you often only have lectures, which are partly made up of product and company presentations.
The PrivacyWeek offers more:
No product or company presentations.
Workshops, in order to put the learned knowledge into practice.
Discussion and questioning.
"Ask the Experts". After a series of short impulses, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in a small group.
An interactive exhibition will show you the data lanes you leave online.
Streaming of selected lectures, which will also be available after the PrivacyWeek.
This year, too, we will be able to present a series of high-caliber lecturers. In nearly 100 individual events, we provide you with first-class information on the subject of "privacy in the digital age". No sales pitches, no product presentations - but high-quality lectures and workshops. We are still expanding our program.
Tickets for the PrivacyWeek are now available.
Online in advance until 15.10.2017 with transfer or credit card.
Or (in the sense of anonymous participation) in the cash sale on the spot.

About the Research:
This Article examines the matrix of vulnerabilities that low-income people face as a result of the collection and aggregation of big data and the application of predictive analytics. It reports on original empirical findings from a large, nationally-representative telephone survey with an oversample of low-income American adults, and highlights how these patterns make particular groups of low-status Internet users uniquely vulnerable to various forms of surveillance and networked privacy-related problems. In particular, a greater reliance on mobile connectivity, combined with lower usage of privacy-enhancing strategies, may contribute to various privacy and security-related harms. The Article then discusses three scenarios in which big data—including data gathered from social media inputs—is being aggregated to make predictions about individual behavior: employment screening, access to higher education, and predictive policing. As policymakers consider reforms, the Article urges greater attention to impacts on low-income persons and communities.
About the presenters:
Mary Madden is a veteran technology researcher, writer and public speaker, having studied trends in American internet users’ behaviors and attitudes for more than a decade. She is currently leading a Data & Society initiative to understand the privacy and security experiences of low-socioeconomic status populations. Supported by a grant from the Digital Trust Foundation, the project will provide freely accessible survey data to researchers working in this area and will seek to answer key questions that can help ground current policy conversations and debates about privacy and security in the digital age.
Mary is also an Affiliate at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University where she has collaborated with the Berkman Center’s Youth and Media Project to apply quantitative and qualitative research methods to study adolescents’ technology use and privacy management on social media.
