Dear subscribers to the CITAMS mailing list,

We would like to invite you to the International Conference on Privacy-Friendly and Trustworthy Technology for Society, taking place in Zagreb (Croatia) on 28 June 2022. Extended abstracts are due by next week, 12 April 2022. The conference is connected to the COST Action “Good Brother: Network on Privacy-Aware Audio- and Video-Based Applications for Active and Assisted Living”, with more information available in the following link as well as in the full call below: https://goodbrother.eu/conferences/goodbrother-international-conference-on-privacy-friendly-and-trustworthy-technology-for-society/

The conference is also followed up by a special issue in Digital Society (Springer) that might be interesting for some of you: https://link.springer.com/collections/ccfheehheh (participation at the conference is not a requirement for submission to the special issue)

Aims

The conference aims to advance the knowledge on critical ethical concepts such as privacy, trust, and transparency of interactive technologies, contributing particularly by extending emerging concepts and themes such as privacy-by-design, overtrust, transparency-by-design, and personalized transparency.

Call for papers

We are interested in contributions that focus on how privacy and trust are challenged and conceptualized through the increased reliance on automated systems and its implications on design approaches. We encourage you to submit papers that combine different perspectives on privacy (enhancement), trust, and automation, which can be applied to different sectors, such as healthcare, education, leisure, or work. A particular focus is on emerging automated systems applied to vulnerable groups such as seniors and children such as ambient assisted living technologies (e.g.., audio-based and video-based applications to monitor elderly or frail people).

Topics of interest

The call for papers includes, but is not limited to, the following areas of interest:

• Research on system trust (i.e., trust between humans and automation) and link to privacy
• Ethical, legal, and societal aspects of trustworthy and privacy-friendly automation
• Empirical studies of privacy and trust of interactive systems
• Design approaches to support system trust and trustworthy design
• Personalization of privacy and transparency requirements and its impact on system trust
• Design for privacy and transparency
• Usable privacy and security and their implications for systems trust
• Overtrust in automation and its implications
• Issues of unequal access to and benefits from privacy-friendly and trustworthy automation among different population groups

Submission

The extended abstract (max. 1000 words excl. references) must be sent in PDF format to privacy-conference@goodbrother.eu by 12 of April 2022. You will be notified if the abstract was accepted and if you can present by 30 April 2022.

Further information, including the template for formatting submissions, can be found at https://goodbrother.eu/conferences/goodbrother-international-conference-on-privacy-friendly-and-trustworthy-technology-for-society/
