Call for Lightning Talks and Posters
-----------------------------------
Decentralised Web Symposium
Vienna University of Economics and Business
January 17, 2020
-----------------------------------
Abstract
-----------------------------------
Over the last few years the notion of a decentralised Web has
emerged:
where individuals and organisations are empowered to control and
manage
their digital assets. We are in the process of establishing an
interdisciplinary network of researchers to have a common dialogue
on
the technical issues related to this decentralised Web and how
these
issues relate to social, economic, and policy aspects. The
Decent(ralised) Web Symposium will serve as the initialisation of
our
common activities. As such we would like to invite researchers
with an
interest in technologies associated with our concept. In
particular
envisage the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics being
covered:
* Decentralised infrastructures
* Multi-agent systems
* Collective intelligence
* Blockchains and the Web
* Cyber Physical Social Systems
* Impact on Society, Economics, and Privacy
-----------------------------------
Format
-----------------------------------
The symposium will comprise keynotes and talks from prominent
invited
speakers, and will also feature a time slot for 10-12 lightning
talks to
allow participants to share their vision, challenges and/or
current
work. If you are interested in giving a lightning talk, please
submit
title and abstract of your proposal using this form
(
https://adecentweb.org/events/decentralised-web-symposium/)
before 18th
December 2019 for review by the organising committee. We will send
notifications of decisions on 20th December 2019.
