I am honoured to be the General Chair! We hope you all find this an opportunity to free up your agenda's and attend. See you there? Best, Hinde. ======================================================== PETS 2014: 14th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium July 16-18, 2013, Amsterdam, Netherlands http://petsymposium.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================== The Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) aims to advance the state of the art and foster a world-wide community of researchers and practitioners to discuss innovation and new perspectives. PETS seeks paper submissions for its 14th event to be held in Amsterdam, July 16–18, 2014. Papers should present novel practical and/or theoretical research into the design, analysis, experimentation, or fielding of privacy-enhancing technologies. While PETS has traditionally been home to research on anonymity systems and privacy-oriented cryptography, we strongly encourage submissions in a number of both well-established and some emerging privacy-related topics. Some suggested topics are listed below. IMPORTANT DATES (all deadlines are firm): Abstract registration deadline: February 10, 2014, 23:59 GMT Paper submission deadline: February 13, 2014, 23:59 GMT Author notification: April 13, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: May 4, 2014 Symposium: July 16–18, 2014 TOPICS OF INTEREST (Suggested topics include but are not restricted to): - Behavioral targeting - Building and deploying privacy-enhancing systems - Crowdsourcing for privacy - Cryptographic tools for privacy - Data protection technologies - Differential privacy - Economics of privacy and game-theoretical approaches to privacy - Forensics and privacy - Information leakage, data correlation and generic attacks to privacy - Interdisciplinary research connecting privacy to economics, law, ethnography, psychology, medicine, biotechnology - Location and mobility privacy - Measuring and quantifying privacy - Obfuscation-based privacy - Policy languages and tools for privacy - Privacy and human rights - Privacy in ubiquitous computing and mobile devices - Privacy in cloud and big-data applications - Privacy in social networks and micro-blogging systems - Privacy-enhanced access control, authentication, and identity management - Profiling and data mining - Reliability, robustness, and abuse prevention in privacy systems - Surveillance - Systems for anonymous communications and censorship resistance - Traffic analysis - Transparency enhancing tools - Usability and user-centered design for PETs GENERAL CHAIR (gc14(a)petsymposium.org): Hinde ten Berge, Free Knowledge Institute PROGRAM CHAIRS (pets14-chairs(a)petsymposium.org): Emiliano De Cristofaro, University College London Steven Murdoch, University of Cambridge PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon University Erman Ayday, EPFL Kelly Caine, Clemson University Jan Camenisch, IBM Zurich Srdjan Capkun, ETH Zurich Claude Castelluccia, INRIA Rhone-Alpes Kostas Chatzikokolakis, Lix Ecole Polytechnique Graham Cormode, University of Warwick Roberto Di Pietro, Universita' di Roma Tre Cynthia Dwork, Microsoft Research Claudia Diaz, KU Leuven Zekeriya Erkin, TU Delft Paul Francis, MPI-SWS Ian Goldberg, University of Waterloo Rachel Greenstadt, Drexel University Amir Herzberg, Bar Ilan University Nick Hopper, University of Minnesota Amir Houmansadr, UT Austin Rob Jansen, Naval Research Laboratory Dali Kaafar, NICTA & INRIA Rhone-Alpes Apu Kapadia, Indiana University, Bloomington Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt Negar Kiyavash, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Markulf Kohlweiss, Microsoft Research Adam Lee, University of Pittsburgh Brian Levine, University of Massachussets, Amherst Marc Liberatore, University of Massachussets, Amherst Ben Livshits, Microsoft Research Nick Mathewson, The Tor Project Prateek Mittal, Princeton Arvind Narayanan, Princeton Claudio Orlandi, Aarhus University Micah Sherr, Georgetown University Reza Shokri, ETH Zurich Radu Sion, Stony Brook University Paul Syverson, Naval Research Laboratory Gene Tsudik, UC Irvine Eugene Vasserman, Kansas State University Matthew Wright, UT Arlington PUBLICITY CHAIR (ctroncoso(a)gradiant.org): Carmela Troncoso, Grandiant HotPETs CHAIRS (hotpets14(a)petsymposium.org): Kelly Caine, Clemson University Prateek Mittal, Princeton Reza Shokri, ETH Zurich SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers to be submitted to the PET Symposium must be at most 20 pages (including the bibliography), plus optional appendices of at most 10 pages. PC members are not required to read the appendices, which will not be included in the final proceedings and should only be used to support evidence of paper’s technical validity, e.g., for detailed security proofs. Papers must conform to the Springer LNCS style (in which the text area per page is a little smaller than 5" x 7 3/4"). Follow the "Information for Authors" link at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Also, all papers must be anonymized (more information below). Papers not following these instructions risk being rejected without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. SUBMISSION Papers will need to be submitted via the PETS 2014 EasyChair submission server at: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=pets2014. ANONYMIZATION OF SUBMISSIONS All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission: - Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page. - Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources. - Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work by another author. ETHICS Papers describing experiments with users or user data (e.g., network traffic, passwords, social network information), should follow the basic principles of ethical research, e.g., beneficence (maximizing the benefits to an individual or to society while minimizing harm to the individual), minimal risk (appropriateness of the risk versus benefit ratio), voluntary consent, respect for privacy, and limited deception. Authors are encouraged to contact PC chairs before submitting to clarify any doubts. Also, authors may be asked to include explanation of how ethical principles were followed in their final papers should questions arise during the review process. COPYRIGHT Proceedings will be published by Springer and made available at the symposium. By submitting a paper, you agree that if it is accepted, you will sign a paper distribution agreement allowing for publication, and also that an author of the paper will register for the symposium and present the paper there. Our current working agreement with Springer is that authors will retain copyright on their own works while assigning an exclusive 3-year distribution license to Springer. Authors may still post their papers on their own Web sites. For the 2010 version of this agreement, see: http://petsymposium.org/2010/2010-springer-form.pdf BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD The Andreas Pftzmann PETS 2014 Best Student Paper Award will be selected at PETS 2014. Papers written solely or primarily by a student who is presenting the work at PETS 2014 are eligible for the award. HotPETs As with the last several years, part of the symposium will be devoted to HotPETs – the “hottest”, most exciting research ideas still in a formative state.
