Abstract

New Internet developments pose greater and greater privacy dilemmas. In the Information Society, the need for individuals to protect their autonomy and retain control over their personal information is becoming more and more important. Today, information and communication technologies â€“ and the people responsible for making decisions about them, designing, and implementing them â€“ scarcely consider those requirements, thereby potentially putting individualsâ€™ privacy at risk. The increasingly collaborative character of the Internet enables anyone to compose services and contribute and distribute information. It may become hard for individuals to manage and control information that concerns them and particularly how to eliminate outdated or unwanted personal information, thus leaving personal histories exposed permanently. These activities raise substantial new challenges for personal privacy at the technical, social, ethical, regulatory, and legal levels: <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text–align: justify; text–indent: –0.25in; –moz–background–clip: –moz–initial; –moz–background–origin: –moz–initial; –moz–background–inline–policy: –moz–initial;"><!––[if !supportLists]––>Â· <!––[endif]––>How can privacy in emerging Internet applications such as collaborative scenarios and virtual communities be protected? <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text–align: justify; text–indent: –0.25in; –moz–background–clip: –moz–initial; –moz–background–origin: –moz–initial; –moz–background–inline–policy: –moz–initial;"><!––[if !supportLists]––>Â· <!––[endif]––>What frameworks and technical tools could be utilised to maintain life–long privacy? The theme of this Summer School to be held in September 2009 and co–organised by the PrimeLife EU project and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) will be on privacy and identity management for emerging Internet applications throughout a personâ€™s life. Both IFIP and PrimeLife take a holistic approach to technology and support interdisciplinary exchange. Participantsâ€™ contributions that combine technical, legal, regulatory, socio–economic, ethical, philosophical, or psychological perspectives are especially welcome. We are especially inviting contributions from students who are at the stages of preparing either mastersâ€™ or doctoral theses qualifications. The school is interactive in character, and is composed of keynote lectures and seminars, tutorials and workshops with PhD student presentations. The principle is to encourage young academic and industry entrants to the privacy and identity management world to share their own ideas and to build up a collegial relationship with others. Students that actively participate, in particular those who present a paper, can receive a course certificate which awards 3 ECTS at the PhD level. The certificate can certify the topic of the contributed paper to demonstrate its relation or non–relation to the studentâ€™s PhD thesis.
