DPM 2012, CALL FOR PAPERS
7th International Workshop on DATA PRIVACY MANAGEMENT,
http://www-ma4.upc.edu/DPM2012/main.html
Pisa, Italy, September 12-13, 2012
(co-located with ESORICS'2012)

Scope: Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of
information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits
against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus,
the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and
important for every organization. This poses several challenging
problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into
system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive
data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics: The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas
related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers
and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data
systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this
workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Privacy Information Management
* Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
* Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
* Privacy in Trust Management
* Privacy Data Integration
* Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Privacy Services
* Cryptography and Cryptanalysis
* Privacy Policy Analysis
* Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
* Privacy Preserving Data Mining
* Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
* Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
* Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
* Privacy in computer networks
* Privacy and RFIDs
* Privacy in sensor networks

Submission guidelines: Papers should be at most 12 pages (using
11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the
paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2012)
and following the requirements stated there.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at
the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

The proceedings will be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (Springer).

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

Important Dates
* Paper Submission Deadline: June 1, 2012
* Paper Acceptance Notification: July 6, 2012
* Camera Ready: July 24, 2012

MADALGO Summer School on

ALGORITHMS FOR MODERN PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED MODELS

August 20-23, 2012, Aarhus University, Denmark

www.madalgo.au.dk/pardist2012


OVERVIEW AND GOAL
Handling massive data often requires use of parallel or distributed
algorithms. Current technology offers many ways of implementing such
algorithms, e.g. GPUs, multi-core CPUs, the map-reduce framework, etc.
Each technology has its strengths, but also comes with some limitations.

The goal of the summer school is to provide an in-depth introduction to
some of the models of modern parallel and distributed technology, and
the key techniques used to design efficient algorithms in these models.
A number of open problems will also be highlighted.

LECTURERS
The school will be taught by experts in the area of parallel and
distributed algorithms. Confirmed lecturers are (further will be added):

* Sergei Vassilvitskii (Google)
* Graham Cormode (AT&T Research)
* Suresh Venkatasubramanian (University of Utah)

PARTICIPATION
The summer school will take place on August 20-23, 2012 at Center for
Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO) in the Department of Computer
Science, Aarhus University, Denmark.

The school is targeted at graduate students, as well as researchers
interested in algorithms for parallel and distributed models.

The capacity of the summer school is limited. Prospective participants
should register using the online registration form available at
www.madalgo.au.dk/pardist2012. Registering graduate students must also
have their supervisor send a letter confirming their graduate student
status directly to madalgo@madalgo.au.dk; the subject line of the email
should be 'student_<last name>/SS_2012/confirming'. Registration is on a
first-come-first-serve basis and will close on Friday July 6, 2012.

Registration is free; handouts, coffee breaks, lunches and a dinner will
be provided by MADALGO and Aarhus University.

ABOUT MADALGO
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics is a major basic research center
funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is located
at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark, but
also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in the US, and at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
and at Frankfurt University in Germany. The center covers all areas of
the design, analysis and implementation of algorithms and data
structures for processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover
computations where data is large compared to the computational
resources), but with a main focus on I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious, and
data stream algorithms. The center also emphasizes work on the boundary
between the algorithms and database areas, in particular work in
relation to efficient indexing and query and update processing.

SCOPE

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications and Networking
enables intelligent interconnecting of physical objects and
eventually creates Internet-of-Things (IoT).
M2M allows bi-directional communications and networking among
devices, network, and back-end data centers and applications
through wireless and/or wired communication approaches.
M2M covers a wide scope of technologies including sensing,
communications, computing and control, which together can build
feasible complex cyber-physical systems to support diverse applications.
Recently, many M2M applications such as smart grid, smart home, e-Healthcare,
intelligent transportation and remote monitoring are become possible and
even in deployment, thanks to recent technologies advances in areas
such as sensing,
networking protocols and actuating control. To this end, M2M has attracted
tremendously global attention from academia, industries and governments.
Organizations such as IEEE, IETF, 3GPP and ETSI have started to
M2M-reated standards from different aspects.

The IEEE Int'l Workshop on Machine-to-Machine Communications and
Networking (M2M-CN),

CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from
diverse fields including green mobile networks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.

[Topics]
