-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Reminder: Call for Chapter Proposals - Aug. 15 Due Date Approaching Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:34:10 -0400 From: George Yee gmyee@sce.carleton.ca Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List computational.science@lists.iccsa.org

Dear Colleague,

Greetings! I would like to invite you to submit a chapter proposal to a new book I am editing, entitled "Privacy Protection Measures and Technologies in Business Organizations: Aspects and Standards", assuming this topic lies within your work area. The due date for the proposal is August 15, 2010. If you need more time, just let me know. For more details, please see the Call for Chapter Proposals at:

Here are some excerpts from the above site:

Introduction The recent rapid growth of the Internet, together with increases in computerization, has been accompanied by soaring deployments of client-related business applications. Since business ultimately depends on the consumption of people, this has led to more and more consumer personal information in the possession of business organizations. This in turn has led to concerns over potential violations of consumer privacy. In response, various governmental jurisdictions have enacted privacy legislation to protect the privacy of consumers. However, legislation alone is not enough. Protective foolproof measures must be in place to guard against potential invasions of privacy. For example, business communication and collaboration include content sharing and email. How can these be safeguarded against the leakage of consumer personal information? As another example, internal business systems comprise workflows that handle and process client personal information. What measures are needed to avoid inadvertently and illegally revealing this information? What standards can be followed to reduce this risk?

Objective of the Book

This book will aim to deliver a coherent collection of chapters that provide significant new insights from five areas of investigation, as follows: 1) the current legal framework concerning the protection of consumer privacy in business organizations, 2) the nature and identification of consumer private information, 3) the measures and standards that can be applied and integrated within business organizations to protect consumer privacy, 4) the integration of business structures and workflows with privacy protection measures, and 5) the impacts of applying and integrating privacy protection measures on business operational and financial performance. Although theoretical and conceptual studies are equally welcome, the likely practical implications of your research should be emphasized in all contributions.

Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before August 15, 2010 (let me know if you need more time), a 2-3 page chapter proposal (outline) clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Please email submissions (Word document) to: gmyee@sce.carleton.ca. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by September 1, 2010 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected by November 30, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed between authors on a double-blind review basis.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to receiving your proposal.

Sincerely, George ------ George Yee, Ph.D., P.Eng., CSDP, CISSP Adjunct Research Professor, Dept. of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1S 5B6 gmyee@sce.carleton.ca
