Fwd: Last CFP: Special Issue on Accountability Mechanisms in Socio-Technical Systems in the Journal of Responsible Technology
by Soheil Human 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, Only 9 days left! Looking forward to receiving your submissions, (rush!) ;) Best, Ben, Florian, Soheil (Sustainable Computing Lab) Frank, (TU-Berlin) and Jat (University of Cambridge) -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Soheil Human <soheil.human(a)wu.ac.at> > Subject: Last CFP: Special Issue on Accountability Mechanisms in Socio-Technical Systems in the Journal of Responsible Technology > Date: 20. June 2021 at 15:30:00 CEST > To: Soheil Human <soheil.human(a)wu.ac.at> > > CALL FOR PAPERS > Special Issue on Accountability Mechanisms in Socio-Technical Systems in the Journal of Responsible Technology > > There are growing demands for greater accountability of socio-technical systems. While there is broader research on a range of issues relating to accountability such as transparency or responsibility, more concrete proposals for developing accountability mechanisms that reflect the socio-technical nature of information systems are less discussed. A key challenge in existing research is how to imagine information systems which promote accountability. While this is part of the wider debate on fairness accountability and transparency principles in the FAccT community and around explainability and bias in artificial intelligence, more concrete proposals for developing socio-technical accountability mechanisms are seldom discussed in detail. > > This need for accountability should be reflected both at technical levels, as well as in the socio-technical embeddedness of the systems being developed. By trying to specifically isolate the accountability mechanism within socio-technical systems, we believe it is possible to systematically identify and compare such mechanisms within different systems, as well as push for a debate about the effectiveness of such mechanisms. > > This special issue focuses on the mechanisms for tackling issues of accountability in socio-technical systems. The goal is to provide a forum for proposing, describing and evaluating specific accountability mechanisms; exploring the challenges of transforming more abstract notions of accountability into practical implementations; for critical perspectives on different accountability approaches; highlighting the successes as well as challenges from practical use-cases; and so forth. > > Recognizing that the challenges are socio-technical, we solicit papers from a range of disciplines. Given the practical focus of this special issue, we specifically encourage papers that discuss accountability from a technical, organisational, legal or STS perspective. We see this special issue as a way to close these gaps by engaging with the existing debate on accountability. > > Potential areas of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: > > - user cognition and human behaviour in relation to the design of interfaces that promote accountability > - increasing the accountability of automated decision-making systems and decision-support systems > - ensuring accountability in public sector systems > - perspectives to accountability in the context of real-world technologies > - contributions that bring together technical and non-technical perspectives > - critical examinations of existing accountability technologies and mechanisms aimed at gaining new insights about their socio-technical characteristics and implications. > > In all these and further areas, accountability in socio-technical systems needs to be addressed more systematically. The concrete implementation of such accountability mechanisms has so far received only limited attention. Similarly, the challenges arising during such transformations of abstract accountability concepts into concrete implementations as well as the critical evaluation of respective implementations are only rarely covered by existing research. We see this special issue as a way to close these gaps by engaging with the existing debate on accountability. > > Submission Guidelines > > CfP: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-responsible-technology/call-fo… <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-responsible-technology/call-fo…> > > Authors should follow the Journal guidelines for paper submission.

Dear all, We are delighted to invite you to the next Sustainable Computing Lecture Series. Title: Enhancing Transparency and Consent in the IoT Speaker: Victor Morel Victor Morel holds a PhD in computer science from Inria, conducted in the Privatics team. His research interests include privacy engineering, design, networks, and ethics of technology in a broad manner. He appreciates sober, hackable, and accessible technology that works. Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing fast, but this growth is not without consequence. Indeed, the increasing number of devices raises the possibility of surveillance to a level never seen before. In parallel, the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018 imposes obligations to data controllers on the content of information about personal data collection and processing, and on the means of communication of this information to data subjects. This information is all the more important that it is required for consent, which is one of the legal grounds to process personal data.

Introducing Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC)
by Soheil Human 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Dear Colleagues and Friends, We are excited to introduce you to the Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC), the result of our joint RESPECTeD project with NOYB. ADPC is a proposed automated mechanism for the communication of users’ privacy decisions. It aims to empower users to protect their online choices in a human-centric, easy and enforceable manner. ADPC also supports online publishers and service providers to comply with data protection and consumer protection regulations. You hate “cookie banners” too? ADPC would allow users to set their privacy preferences in their browser, plugin or operating system and communicate them in a simple way – limiting friction in user interaction for providers and users alike, as foreseen or panned in various innovative laws. You can find more information on: https://www.dataprotectioncontrol.org <https://www.dataprotectioncontrol.org/> or follow ADPC-updates on: https://twitter.com/ADPC_Spec <https://twitter.com/ADPC_Spec> Thank you for supporting the development of ADPC in the last years. It was not possible without many of you! LET’S CONSTRUCT A HUMAN-CENTRIC AND SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL WORLD TOGETHER! ;) Best regards, Soheil -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna
