Call For Papers: Regulation of Privacy

From the announcement: Call for Papers: Workshop on Regulation of Privacy On-and Off-line in the Age of Technology, Cape Town, 3-6 January 2005.

This workshop will focus on regulation of privacy as it is currently impacted by technological developments, including, but not restricted to, the growth of the information society, growth in uptake of digital technologies, medical technological advances, security and surveillance technology advances, and database and data-mining developments. The workshop will be part of the WISICT 05  Winter International Symposium on Information and Communication Technologies  (http://www.cs.tcd.ie/publications/tech-reports/wisict05/cfp.html ) and registration must be made direct to that conference by workshop presenters or attendees. There is unfortunately currently no extra funding available for workshop attendees, who must find their own funding for travel/accommodation/conference fee. However there is no extra fee for attending any workshop.
