With the continuous proliferation of diverse Internet-based computing paradigms, large amounts of data containing privacy-sensitive information are being constantly published, collected, processed, and archived. This trend will be further fueled up by the new development of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, smart cities, e-health, e-commerce, social and behavioral studies, social networking, edge computing, and cloud computing. As a result, fast-growing concerns about data privacy from academia as well as industry emerge in recent years, which motivate researchers and practitioners to think about questions such as how to guarantee that the collected or published data are not misused; how to ensure that data processing does not disclose any sensitive information; how to store the data securely for privacy protection; how to define new privacy policies that allow desirable services; and how to make sure that privacy policies issued by government and industry are not violated.
The IEEE Symposium on Privacy-Aware Computing (IEEE PAC) brings together experts from academia, government, and industry to present and discuss recent advances and new perspectives on related research and development in privacy-aware computing. We invite original theoretical contributions as well as system implementation/experimentation works on all topics related to “making computing privacy-aware” for privacy protection. Particularly, IEEE PAC solicits unpublished results in privacy threats and vulnerabilities of emerging applications for various computing platforms (mobile, IoT, cloud, social network, etc.), privacy-aware algorithms for big data analytics and networking, novel methodologies for privacy-protection (modern cryptography, game theory, etc.), policies for privacy-aware computing, etc.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing unprecedented technological and legal complexity, triggering a convergence of traditional legal domains and challenging the application of basic legal principles.
As computational systems blur the lines between human and machine, a close dialogue among data scientists, legal experts and other disciplines is required to develop new digital strategies and evolve legal frameworks for society. With experts from academia, legal practice, civil society and scientists, the Microsoft Data Science & Law Forum will explore in roundtables the various dimensions of AI: the twists AI will bring to the legal system; how it transforms competition, IP and liability; and the ethical demand to benefit mankind, and for human understanding and oversight. With its broad implications, AI creates the need for a multi-disciplinary, multicultural approach to the practice of law.
As the EU reflects on its next generation digital strategy, we hope to collectively contribute to the adoption of responsible approaches to AI, based on an improved understanding of its legal implications.
The rise of artificial intelligence is dramatically shaping all aspects of human existence. While the United States took the lead in the early revolution, American de facto leadership is slipping away as other countries catch up to – and in some cases even surpass – American progress. As the technology advances, what do American leaders across the spectrum of sectors and industries need to do to maximize the upside for future generations while minimizing the disruptions to democracy?

The 2018 Amsterdam Privacy Conference (APC 2018) brings together researchers, practitioners, policy makers and professionals in the field of privacy to share insights, exchange ideas and formulate, discuss and answer the challenging privacy questions that lie ahead of us. APC 2018 intends to be a lively forum to discuss privacy issues, held in the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
APC 2018 is organised by the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research (APPR), a network of researchers at the University of Amsterdam, with active participants from diverse fields, including philosophy, law, economics, computer science, medicine, media and communication studies and social sciences. APC 2018 is the follow-up to the highly successful conferences APC 2015 and APC 2012.
The conference will take place on 5-8 October 2018 at the intimate venue of the Roeterseiland in the heart of Amsterdam. It will include plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and panel discussions with invited speakers, as well as presentations from respondents to this call for papers. The goal of the conference is to bring together academics, policy makers, journalists, and practitioners to promote active discussion on timely topics, and foster debate on privacy issues between participants from various backgrounds and perspectives.

Wondering how do your peers deal with data subjects’ requests under the GDPR? Or how you can leverage your GDPR implementation work for the California Consumer Privacy Act?
This is a private member only event for those who will be in Austin for the IAPP PSR conference, you are invited to join a small group of FPF member companies for an informal breakfast to swap GDPR compliance tips with your peers and share initial thoughts around your approach to CCPA – the discussion will be centered around dealing with requests from data subjects/consumers. We will meet over lunch from 12:00-1:30pm on October 18, 2018 in a private room very close to the conference venue.
PwC’s Jocelyn Aqua and FPF’s Policy Counsels, Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna and Lauren Smith will co-host the discussion. There is no formal program and no commitment to stay the entire time. We have held a few of these sessions in different cities and they have been productive.
Please contact Barbara Kelly for membership information.
