Dear all,
<br>
<br>The usual apology for cross-posting but this may be of interest to some on the
<br>list.
<br>
<br>Call for Papers CPDP2019 – Data Protection and Democracy
<br>
<br>CPDP is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection.
<br>The 12th edition of CPDP will be held on 30th January to 1st February 2019 in
<br>Brussels. Whilst a number of speakers are specifically invited by the
<br>conference, several slots remain open to application through an annual call
<br>for papers. The CPDP2019 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers who
<br>wish to present their papers at the next Computers, Privacy and Data
<br>Protection conference.
<br>
<br>The call is split into two different tracks. The first is dedicated to
<br>experienced researchers (i.e. from postdoctoral researchers on), while the
<br>second welcomes PhD students and other junior researchers. Contributions are
<br>welcome from all disciplines with perspectives on the themes of the
<br>conference. The dual-track structure of the CPDP2019 Call for Papers aims to
<br>meet the increasing interest of researchers – from all levels and from
<br>multiple disciplines – in CPDP and their expectations in terms of academic
<br>feedback and exchange. Please submit your contribution through the EasyChair
<br>conference system through
<br>https://easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=77866042.wQZqp2m5CMpczXz9
<br>
<br>
<br>The overarching theme of the 2019 edition is “Data Protection and
<br>Democracy”. The entwinement between data analytics and democratic processes
<br>has been on the spotlight for the better part of the past two years.
<br>
<br>From political microtargeting through advertising platforms to voting
<br>systems’ security, from external influence over elections to ‘fake news’
<br>and populism, both privacy and data protection have been shown to be
<br>fundamental for a healthy democracy. The GDPR has applied since May 25 and is
<br>expected to change how companies and governments handle personal information.
<br>Will the GDPR serve as a model for a new standard of data privacy around the
<br>world? Will the new data protection and privacy frameworks in Europe and
<br>elsewhere make a difference? Could they be effectively enforced? What is data
<br>protection beyond legislation? CPDP2019 will highlight data protection as a
<br>core element of a democratic society.
<br>We welcome cutting edge papers in all areas related to technology, privacy,
<br>and data protection, but particularly invite submissions that fit the general
<br>conference theme.
<br>The CPDP Scientific Committee invites papers in the fields of law, social
<br>sciences, philosophy and computer sciences (as well as other relevant fields).
<br>Multidisciplinary papers are particularly welcome. In particular, this call
<br>aims to reach researchers whose works relate to new technologies, privacy and
<br>data protection. Selected researchers will have the valuable opportunity to
<br>present their papers in the conference academic sessions. The main theme
<br>highlighted this year is “Data Protection and Democracy”, but we welcome
<br>any original topics related to the general themes of the conference and
<br>especially encourage interdisciplinary submissions.
