-
- CFP'93
- The Third Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy
- Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGCAS & SIGSAC
- 9 - 12 March 1993
- San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel, Burlingame, CA
-
- INVITATION
-
- This is an invitation to submit session and topic proposals for
- inclusion in the program of the Third Conference on Computers,
- Freedom and Privacy. Proposals may be for individual talks, panel
- discussions, debates or other presentations in appropriate
- formats. Proposed topics should be within the general scope of the
- conference, as outlined below.
-
- SCOPE
-
- The advance of computer and telecommunications technologies holds
- great promise for individuals and society. From convenience for
- consumers and efficiency in commerce to improved public health and
- safety and increased participation in democratic institutions,
- these technologies can fundamentally transform our lives.
-
- At the same time these technologies pose threats to the ideals of
- a free and open society. Personal privacy is increasingly at risk
- from invasion by high-tech surveillance and eavesdropping. The
- myriad databases containing personal information maintained in the
- public and private sectors expose private life to constant
- scrutiny.
-
-
- Technological advances also enable new forms of illegal activity,
- posing new problems for legal and law enforcement officials and
- challenging the very definitions of crime and civil liberties. But
- technologies used to combat these crimes can threaten the
- traditional barriers between the individual and the state.
-
- Even such fundamental notions as speech, assembly and property are
- being transformed by these technologies, throwing into question
- the basic Constitutional protections that have guarded them.
-
- Similarly, information knows no borders; as the scope of economies
- becomes global and as networked communities transcend
- international boundaries, ways must be found to reconcile
- competing political, social and economic interests in the digital
- domain.
-
- The Third Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy will
- assemble experts, advocates and interested people from a broad
- spectrum of disciplines and backgrounds in a balanced public forum
- to address the impact of computer and telecommunications
- technologies on freedom and privacy in society. Participants will
- include people from the fields of computer science, law, business,
- research, information, library science, health, public policy,
- government, law enforcement, public advocacy and many others.
- Topics covered in previous CFP conferences include:
-
- Personal Information and Privacy
- International Perspectives and Impacts
- Law Enforcement and Civil Liberties
- Ethics, Morality and Criminality
- Electronic Speech, Press and Assembly
- Who Logs On (Computer & Telecom Networks)
- Free Speech and the Public Telephone Network
- Access to Government Information
- Computer-based Surveillance of Individuals
- Computers in the Workplace
- Who Holds the Keys? (Cryptography)
- Who's in Your Genes? (Genetic Information)
- Ethics and Education
- Public Policy for the 21st Century
-
- These topics are given as examples and are not meant to exclude
- other possible topics on the general subject of Computers, Freedom
- and Privacy.
-
- PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

- All proposals should be accompanied by a position statement of at
- least one page, describing the proposed presentation, its theme
