-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] [CfP] ECSCW 2020 Workshop on Fostering Accessibility at the Workplace through CBPR: **Deadline Approaching** Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2020 10:58:41 +0000 From: Pinatti, Fabiano, Dr. <Fabiano.Pinatti(a)uni-siegen.de> Reply-To: Pinatti, Fabiano, Dr. <Fabiano.Pinatti(a)uni-siegen.de> To: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> (apologies for any cross-posting) ---------------------------- ECSCW 2020 Workshop on Fostering Accessibility at the Workplace through Community-based Participatory Research June 14^th , 2020, Siegen, Germany https://cbprar.wordpress.com/ ---------------------------- ******* NOTE ON COVID-19 (CORONA) ******** As per the official note from the ECSCW 2020 organisation (https://ecscw.eusset.eu/2020/index.php/information-on-the-current-status-of…), ECSCW 2020 is still planned to happen between 13^th and 17^th June in Siegen, Germany. We are sensitive to the situation and are monitoring it. Nevertheless, we believe and hope that the situation will be under control by then, so that the conference can take place. Therefore, we warmly invite submissions to our workshop. Should the conference be cancelled, the workshop organisers will devise a sensible alternative for the implementation of and participation in the workshop. We are keen to make this happen and will find a safe and appropriate way to do so, as we are really looking forward to the envisaged exchanges. ************ IMPORTANT DATES ************ * Submission deadline: April 5^th , 2020 * Notification of acceptance: April 24^th , 2020 * Camera-ready: May 10^th , 2020 * Workshop day: June 14^th , 2020 Workshop themes ********************* This workshop addresses how community-based participatory research (CBPR) can support unravelling needs of people with disability from a socio-informatics perspective, so to develop a concept to sensitise society to the relevance of investing in highly accessible solutions at the workplace. Therefore, the workshop addresses issues of inclusion of people with disability in the job market. It targets contributions showing how different approaches have been used in current and past accessibility research and aims at reflecting on the lessons learned from it. In particular, it aims at generating an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches, so to inform how CBPR can better support future accessibility research. The workshop pays special attention to work contexts, seeking contributions that demonstrate the relevance of CBPR on the design and development of accessible digital solutions for the workplace. Contributors may wish to address a range of issues, including, but not restricted to: * The adoption of CBPR to investigate and foster accessibility at the workplace; * The use of alternative methodologies to bring different stakeholders, as for example, people with disability, companies, service providers, researchers and policy makers together in changing organisational, technological and personal circumstances; * Methodological innovations in the study of accessibility at the workplace; * Accounts of accessibility initiatives as emerging from novel spatial and organisational contexts; * The range of organisational aspects, motivational factors, personal values and expectations underling the investment in accessible solutions for the workplace; * An examination of how we might identify those forces, contexts and dynamics that hinder, resist or work against the momentum of accessibility at the workplace; * The role of assistive technologies in empowering people with disability, but also in creating a potential range of problems/issues to be dealt with; * The role of accessible technology as discourse in socially, culturally and ideologically shaping an ‘accessibility culture’; * The technological, cultural, political and economic rationalities that underpin and legitimise contemporary enactments of accessibility research and foster the establishment of an accessibility culture; * Explorations of what present and future accessibility culture might look like, and of the challenges and issues we will be addressing for the next ten years. Interdisciplinary participation from people with and without disability, companies, designers, developers, policy makers, sociologists, psychologists, ethnographers, and other interested people is highly appreciated. In this way, the workshop will provide an important opportunity for different sectors of the society to share ideas and possibly coordinate their efforts. Types of contribution ********************* Participants who wants to support fostering the workshop discussions will be invited to contribute to the workshop with either posters illustrating their ideas, samples of data collected during fieldwork, or demos/prototypes developed as a result of their research and/or development initiatives. These materials will be the main subject of the discussion. Workshop dynamics ********************* During the workshop, conversations between the participants will be facilitated by moving away from traditional presentations. Presentation sessions will be followed by more focused short discussions on specific questions/issues, and practical brainstorming exercises to highlight new methodological directions concerning CBPR for accessibility research at the workplace. Submission format ********************* Participants interested in contributing with the workshop should send a position paper (max 5 pages, including references) introducing the material, ideas or artefacts they would like to address in the workshop. The submission must contain a brief overview of the key ideas and arguments of the contribution and some information on the occupational background of the authors. Additionally, contributors can submit videos, links or any other relevant artefacts of the system they would like to demonstrate during the workshop. Submissions must adhere to the IRSI series Format: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6e8wtrxsv9t35u3/irsi_template.doc Submission process *********************** Position papers must be submitted directly to the workshop organisers through the e-mail: cbprar(a)googlegroups.com <mailto:cbprar@googlegroups.com> Review process ****************** Contributions will be reviewed by the workshop organisers and selected on the basis of their quality, compliance with the workshop theme, and the extent (and diversity) of their backgrounds in terms of fieldwork, design, and technology.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP "Collaboration with Cognitive Assistants and AI” HICSS Mintrack Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2020 09:01:05 +0000 From: Bittner, Eva <bittner(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> Reply-To: Bittner, Eva <bittner(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> To: wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de <wkwi(a)listserv.dfn.de> Dear colleagues, we are delighted to announce our minitrack on “Collaboration with Cognitive Assistants and AI” and are looking forward to your submissions. Please find the CfP attached. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind regards, Eva Bittner ************* *CALL FOR PAPERS: HICSS54 “Collaboration with Cognitive Assistants and AI” Minitrack (in “Collaboration Systems and Technologies” Track) * ************* *MINITRACK DESCRIPTION* In the field of information systems, as well as in the computer science domain, artificial intelligence (AI) constitutes one of the most rapidly growing streams of research. This is mainly due to the fact that technological innovations enable the development of productive AI solutions (e.g. inherent in cognitive assistants) that provide compelling benefits in various fields of application. However, despite the recent advances, we are still far away from a strong or general AI comparable to a human intelligence, especially when it comes to intelligence across certain domains or tasks. Therefore, the importance of the engagement of humans into the decision process of AI systems is widely acknowledged in research and practice. Although a considerable amount of exploration regarding such Human-AI-Collaboration has been conducted, the breadth and scope for dialogue and experimentation needs to be broadened. This minitrack aims to provide a place for such dialogue and support of a diverse community interested in taking the challenge further. While all submissions should consider aspects of collaboration – the work of two or more knowledge sources (i.e. human and AI) towards a common goal -, we welcome all papers that present research in this area, independent of the centrality and strength of AI, the domain they address, and the methodology they apply. Topics to be discussed in this minitrack include (but are not limited to) the following: * Generalizable models, methodologies and theories to design and facilitate Human-AI-Collaboration * Exemplary use cases in various fields of application that refer to o collaborative work practices, in which a human actor collaborates with AI o collaborative work practices, in which AI facilitates human collaboration * Boundaries and Challenges of Human-AI-Collaboration * Approaches for a new division of labor (including hand-offs) in references to the task structure and capabilities of AI and humans * Decision models for deciding, whether, when and how to access human input * Strategies to prevent mistakes and shortcomings of individual collaborators and the noise in the contributions of individual workers * Effectiveness of Human-AI-Collaboration (e.g. effectiveness of different training strategies in improving the performance of workers for accomplishing complex tasks) * Orchestration of learning (of the AI, from the AI, with the AI), e.g. human-in-the-loop learning * Design of incentive structures for Human-AI-Collaboration * Facilitation of continuous engagement in Human-AI-Collaboration * User reactions when confronted with an AI collaborator * Approaches for increasing user acceptance of collaboration systems with AI components * Prototypes of Human-AI-Collaboration in various application domains (e.g. tutoring, service, etc.) * Legal aspects, usability, explainability or transparency of Human-AI-Collaboration * Ethical and philosophical examinations of the common goal in Human-AI-collaboration *ORGANIZERS* *Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner,*University of Hamburg bittner(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de** *Dr. Philipp Alexander Ebel, *University of St. Gallen philipp.ebel(a)unisg.ch *Dr. Sarah Oeste-Reiß, *University of Kassel oeste-reiss(a)uni-kassel.de *Prof. Dr. Matthias Söllner, *University of Kassel soellner(a)uni-kassel.de *ABOUT THE CONFERENCE* Since 1968, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has been known worldwide as the longest-standing working scientific conferences in Information Technology Management.

Fwd: [ACSOS] Autonomic Computing & Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS 2020): Extended Deadline & COVID-19
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ACSOS] Autonomic Computing & Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS 2020): Extended Deadline & COVID-19 Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 19:19:34 +0000 From: ACSOS 2020 <publicity(a)acsos.org> To: acsos(a)lists.uni-wuerzburg.de ******* ACSOS 2020 - CFP & COVID-19 Info *******1st IEEE International Joint ICAC/SASO Conference onAutonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems17-21 August 2020 – Washington, DC, USA https://2020.acsos.org/https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf***********************… goal of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS) is to provide a forum for sharing the latest research results, ideas and experiences in autonomic computing, self-adaptation and self-organization. ACSOS was founded in 2020 as a merger of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC) and the IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO). For more information about the merger, as well as up-to-date news, see https://2020.acsos.org/news/ or follow us at https://twitter.com/ACSOSconf! *** Statement Regarding COVID-19 *** The ACSOS Steering and Organizing Committees have been monitoring the situation surrounding COVID-19, and considering what impact this may have on events scheduled for later in the year, such as ours. We are aware of the restrictions and uncertainty that people are facing, and therefore want to take this opportunity to offer some certainty to the community. We would first like to express our empathy and condolences with those affected by COVID-19 so far, and those who will have a difficult 2020. Our primary concern is that members of our community, and their families and friends, remain safe and well. Secondly, our aspiration is to enable our whole international community to have, as much as possible, a stimulating and equitable opportunity to share and discuss their work and ideas in the areas of autonomic and self-organizing computing systems. At this point we would like to announce and confirm that: - The conference *will* take place, and on its original dates in August. - There will be an opportunity to present virtually, for anyone who cannot or chooses not to travel. - All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by IEEE, regardless of whether a physical or virtual presentation is given. - The paper submission deadline will be extended by 1 month, in order to support authors to still produce their best work, despite the additional challenges that many of us are facing at the moment. - Whether the conference becomes entirely virtual or a hybrid is a decision that we will make when we know more, and by early June at the latest. This is to ensure people have ample time to make travel arrangements, in the case of physical attendance. - In the tradition of ICAC and SASO, which merged to form ACSOS, ACSOS will continue to be an IEEE sponsored conference, regardless of whether the conference becomes fully virtual this year. As the situation surrounding COVID-19 is evolving rapidly, it is unclear what things will be like in the late summer. Therefore, we hope you find the above clarifications helpful, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue to monitor the situation carefully.* *** Newsflash! ****We are also pleased to confirm that:- Selected papers will be invited for extension to be published in ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).- Following the merger of two IEEE conferences, ICAC and SASO, we are pleased to confirm that ACSOS continues as an IEEE sponsored conference.- The submission deadline is extended to the 1st May (abstracts) / 8th May (full papers).*** Important Dates - Note Extended Deadline *****May** 1, 2020: Abstract submission deadline**May** 8, 2020: Paper submission deadlineJune 8, 2020: Notification to authorsJuly 8, 2020: Camera Ready DeadlineAugust 17-21, 2020: ACSOS Conference! *** Challenge and Scope ***The complexity of current and emerging networks, software, and services can be characterized by issues such as scale, heterogeneity, openness, and dynamics, both internally and in the environment. These issues have led the software engineering, distributed systems, and systems management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, machine learning, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems in a principled way. Yet challenges remain to build autonomic systems that exhibit the desirable self-* properties (i.e., self-organizing, self-adaptive, self-healing, self-aware, etc).The mission of ACSOS is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and industry practitioners to address these challenges to make resources, applications, and systems more autonomic, self-adaptive, and self-organising. ACSOS provides a venue to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research. The conference program will include technical research papers, in-practice experience reports, posters, demos, and a doctoral symposium.We invite novel contributions related to the fundamental understanding of autonomic computing, self-adaption and self-organization along with principles and practices of their engineering and application. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic and Self-* system properties: robustness; resilience; resource efficiency; stability; anti-fragility; diversity; self-reference and reflection; emergent behavior; computational awareness and self-awareness;- Autonomic and Self-* systems theory: bio-inspired and socially-inspired paradigms and heuristics; theoretical frameworks and models; formal languages; queuing and control theory; requirement and goal expression techniques; uncertainty as a 1st class entity- Autonomic and Self-* systems engineering: reusable mechanisms and algorithms; design patterns; programming languages; architectures; operating systems and middleware; testing and validation methodologies; runtime models; techniques for assurance; platforms and toolkits; multi-agent systems;- Data-driven management: data mining; machine learning; data science and other statistical techniques to analyze, understand, and manage the behavior of complex systems or establishing self-awareness;- Mechanisms and principles for self-organisation and self-adaptation: inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; evolution, logic, and learning; addressing large-scale and decentralized systems;- Socio-technical self-* systems: human and social factors; visualization; crowdsourcing and collective awareness;- Hardware concepts for autonomic computing systems: self-* materials; self-construction; reconfigurable hardware;- Cross disciplinary research: approaches that draw inspiration from complex systems, organic computing, artificial intelligence, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and biology. We invite research papers applying autonomic and self-* approaches to a wide range of application areas, including:- Smart grids, smart cities, homes, and manufacturing; - Cyber-physical systems; autonomous vehicles and robotics; traffic management;- Self-adaptive cybersecurity;- Internet of Things;- Cloud computing and data centers;- Fog/edge computing;- Hypervisors, operating systems, and middleware. Selected papers from ACSOS 2020 will be invited for extensions in ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems (TAAS).*** Submission Instructions ***Research papers will be accepted as either long papers up to 10 pages or short papers up to 7 pages (including references) and formatted according to the standard IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide.Please submit your papers electronically in PDF format using the ACSOS 2020 Easychair site:https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=acsos20 <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facsos20.h…>Note that separate calls for Poster, Demo, and In-Practice Report Submissions will also be issued, as well as a call for participation in the Doctoral Symposium.The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and made available as a part of the IEEE Digital Library. As per the standard IEEE policies, all submissions should be original, i.e., they should not have been previously published in any conference proceedings, book, or journal and should not currently be under review for another archival conference.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] ACM RecSys2020 2nd Call for Industry Talks Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2020 20:07:48 +0000 From: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br Reply-To: flaviovdf(a)dcc.ufmg.br To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de **Important Note** We are continuously monitoring the COVID-19 situation and considering alternatives to allow for remote participation to both the main conference and workshops should disruptions still occur in late September. The ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2020) is the premier venue for research and applications of recommendation technologies. One of our goals is to connect communities of researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry in order to exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share solutions. Industry practitioners are invited to submit talk proposals to the RecSys conference industry track. The industry track is focused on challenges and practical solutions to significant real-world issues faced by industry practitioners. We encourage submissions that describe substantial real-world challenges and novel deployed systems that power recommendations in commercial settings. All submissions will be reviewed by the Industry chairs and the best proposals will be chosen based on merit and contribution to the community. Examples of talk topics include, but are not limited to: * Challenges faced by practitioners that are under-studied in the research community and practical solutions * Novel techniques that solve significant issues in practice * Case studies of real-world implementations * Evaluation metrics and studies * Field and user studies * Lessons learned from real-world deployments * Novel recommender system applications * Fairness and bias of recommender systems Authors of the selected proposals will give an oral presentation in the Industry Track and will also be invited to present a poster at the conference poster sessions. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. Papers must be submitted to PCS by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on May 11th, 2020. There will be no extensions to the submission deadline. Formatting. ACM is changing the archive format of its publications to separate content from presentation in the new Digital Library, enhance accessibility, and improve the flexibility and resiliency of our publications. Following the new ACM publication workflow, all authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single-column format. The maximum length for industry talk proposals is 2 pages (excluding references) in the new single-column format. Instructions for Word and LaTeX authors are given below: * Microsoft Word: Write your paper using the Submission Template (Review Submission Format). Follow the embedded instructions to apply the paragraph styles to your various text elements. The text is in single-column format at this stage and no additional formatting is required at this point. * LaTeX: Please use the latest version of the Master Article Template - LaTeX to create your submission. You must use the "manuscript" option with the \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command to generate the output in a single-column format which is required for review. Please see the LaTeX documentation and ACM's LaTeX best practices guide for further instructions. To ensure 100% compatibility with The ACM Publishing System (TAPS), please restrict the use of packages to the whitelist of approved LaTeX packages. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide "alt text" (alternative text) for floats (images, tables, etc.) in their content so that readers with disabilities can be given descriptive information for these floats that are important to the work. The descriptive text will be displayed in place of a float if the float cannot be loaded. This benefits the author as well as it broadens the reader base for the author's work. Moreover, the alt text provides in-depth float descriptions to search engine crawlers, which helps to properly index these floats. Should you have any questions or issues going through the instructions above, please contact support at acmtexsupport(a)aptaracorp.com for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word inquiries. Accepted proposals will be later submitted to ACM's new production platform where authors will be able to review PDF and HTML output formats before publication. Contents. Industry talk proposals must include the following: * Title and abstract of the proposal presentation * Short CV of the presenter(s) (up to 300 words) Anonymity. All submissions will be single-blind peer reviewed. This means that submissions should include information identifying the authors and their organization. IMPORTANT DATES * Proposal submission deadline: May 11th, 2020 * Author notification: July 13th, 2020 * Camera-ready version deadline: July 27th, 2020 INDUSTRY CHAIRS * Kim Falk, Binary Vikings, Denmark * Noam Koenigstein, Microsoft & Tel-Aviv University, Israel * Edleno Moura, Universidade Federal do Amazonas, Brazil -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

Share your insight for publication in Cutter Business Technology Journal https://www.cutter.com/call-papers#automation . Abstract deadline: April 1, 2020 The face of automation is changing. Wi th the integration of technologies such as AI, ML, NLP, and RPA, business processes are being automated and optimized across the enterprise, and employees are being liberated of repetitive tasks to perform higher-level work. But while intelligent automation is promising from a competitive advantage viewpoint, its implications include the possibility of employee displacement, workforce transition challenges, security risks, ethical and regulatory issues. An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal with Guest Editor San Murugesan http://www.cutter.com/experts/san-murugesan will examine this new face of automation. This includes the benefits and opportunities as well as the challenges, disruptions, and the impact on businesses, the job landscape, and society. We invite insights and perspectives from practitioners, academics, consultants, visionaries and industry experts. Article ideas may include (but are not limited to) the following: How are smart automation, autonomous systems, and RPA being used in domains such as business, finance, manufacturing, smart factories, healthcare, supply chain, tourism, hospitality, and defense? How will automation shape these domains in the future? What new applications and innovations might emerge? How can two or more such systems work together collaboratively? What are some examples of typical use cases? What are the promises and potential of cobots (collaborative robots), and what new challenges will they pose? What do IT leaders need to do to prepare their businesses/employees for a transition to an advanced automation environment? How can an advanced automation system and a human interact and work together successfully? How can we implement ‘adjustable autonomy' which requires the transfer of decision-making control to other entities (typically an automation system transferring control to a human operator or vice versa)? How can automation embrace AI, ML, IoT, GPS data, cloud, robots and smart materials? What type of enterprise automation strategy is necessary to accommodate new technology advances? Trust is a critical factor in adoption of advanced automation practices. How can we establish trustworthiness? How might cyberattacks affect safety, reliability, and operations of an autonomous automation system? What are the major concerns and threats of emerging automation? How might new kinds of automation impact a skilled workforce? What types of retraining, reskilling will be necessary? What about job displacement? What types of cultural transitioning/training is needed to get workers on board/up-to-speed? What new opportunities will arise now, and in the near future, for the IT industry and technology professionals? What are moral/ethical obligations and responsibilities of developers and adopters of advanced automation? Do automation technologies and applications need be regulated, and if so by whom?

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP - [Call For Papers] 6th International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE'20)
by Gustaf Neumann 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - [Call For Papers] 6th International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE'20) Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 11:24:14 +0000 From: Ramokapane, Marvin (Student) <k.ramokapane(a)lancaster.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Sixth International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE'20) - https://iwpe.info/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiwpe.info…> Co-located with IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P) - https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/EuroSP2020/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee-…> 15 June 2020 - Genova, Italy Privacy engineering research is emerging as an important topic. Engineers are increasingly expected to build and maintain privacy-preserving and data-protection compliant systems in different ICT domains such as health, energy, transportation, social computing, law enforcement, public services; based on different infrastructures such as cloud, grid, or mobile computing and architectures. While there is a consensus on the benefits of an engineering approach to privacy, concrete proposals for models, methods, techniques, and tools that support engineers and organizations in this endeavor are few and in need of immediate attention. To cover this gap, the topics of the International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE20) focus on all the aspects surrounding privacy engineering, ranging from its theoretical foundations, engineering approaches, and support infrastructures, to its practical application in projects of different scale. Specifically, we are seeking the following kinds of papers: (1) technical papers that illustrate the engineering or application of a novel formalism, method or other research finding (e.g., a privacy-enhancing protocol) with preliminary evaluation; (2) experience and practice papers that describe a case study, challenge or lessons learned from in a specific domain; (3) early evaluations of tools and other infrastructure that support engineering tasks in privacy requirements, design, implementation, testing, etc.; (4) interdisciplinary studies or critical reviews of existing privacy engineering concepts, methods, tools, and frameworks; or (5) vision papers that take a clear position informed by evidence-based on a thorough literature review. IWPE’20 welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions on the recent developments in the general area of privacy engineering. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: * Integrating law and policy compliance into the development process * Privacy or data protection impact assessments in the engineering context * Privacy engineering and data-driven software development * Privacy engineering in machine learning and AI * Privacy engineering and data subject access rights and data portability * Privacy risk management models * Technical standards, heuristics and best practices for privacy engineering * User privacy and data protection requirements * Management of privacy requirements with other system requirements * Privacy-preserving architectures for databases, networks, and the cloud * Privacy engineering in the context of interaction design and usability * Validation and verification of privacy properties and requirements * Engineering Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) * Integration of PETs into systems or the development ecosystem * Tools and formal languages supporting privacy engineering * Teaching and training privacy engineering * Pilots and real-world applications * Evaluation of privacy engineering methods, technologies and tools * Organizational, legal, political and economic aspects of privacy engineering This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive as IWPE is interested in all aspects of privacy engineering. However, to screen out off-topic papers early in the review process, we request authors to submit an abstract prior to their paper submission. Abstracts of papers without a clear application to privacy engineering will be considered outside the scope of this workshop and may be rejected. For accepted papers, at least one author must attend the workshop. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: Sunday, March 1, 2020 (Anywhere on Earth) Notification: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 Camera ready: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 Workshop: Monday, June 15, 2020 PAPER FORMAT & SUBMISSION IWPE 2020 offers the choice of archival and non-archival paper submissions. The non-archival option is offered to avoid precluding future submissions to area-specific venues. Accepted archival submissions will be published in IEEE Xplore, which is indexed by EI Engineering Index, ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI-S), Scopus, etc. We are negotiating with a JCR-indexed journal a special issue on privacy engineering, and the best papers will also be invited to submit. We solicit short papers (up to 4 pages) and long papers (up to 8 pages) reporting technical, research or industry experience on all dimensions of privacy engineering. Each paper, written in English, must follow the IEEE conference proceedings format<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee.…>.
