The IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) is an annual international forum sponsored by the IEEE Society on the Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). ISTAS′13 in Toronto, Canada will bring together participants sharing research, projects, and ideas about people living in smart environments.<br>The environment around us is becoming "smarter". Soon there will be a camera in nearly every streetlight to do better occupancy sensing,and ultimately a camera in every light fixture. And modern automatic flush toilets, faucets, and sensor–operated showers are starting to use more sophisticated camera–based computer–vision technologies. In a world of smart things like smart lights, smart toilets, smart grids, smart meters, smart roads, and the like, what happens when you have "smart people" (i.e. put sensors on people)? What do we make of the growing numbers of businesses like department stores and restaurants that prohibit cameras, yet display QR codes that require cameras to read and understand?<br>Wearable Computing: cell–phone view, webcams, necklacedome, wearcams, wearcomp, wristwatch computer, point–of–view technologies, mobile CCTV, EyeTap, Google Glasses, sensors, nanotechnology, biomedical devices, implantables, skinput, affective computing, body area networks, cyborgs, interaction–design<br>Augmediated Reality: vision systems, graphical–based systems, multimedia, interactive systems, location–based services, geolocation mapping, Web 3.0, 4G, sensory inputs, biofeedback, augmented reality, diminished reality, mediated reality, reality mining, remembrance agents, humanistic intelligence, artificial intelligence<br>The Veillances: surveillance, counter surveillance, dataveillance, sousveillance, equiveillence, inequiveillence, mcveillance, uberveillance, veillance studies, obtrusive, unobtrusive, secret, covert, priveillance, uber analytics, big data<br>Everyday life: data logging, moblogging, glogging, lifelogging, 24x7 ubiquitous audio–visual recording, state/condition monitoring, permission (opt–out/opt–in), private space, public space, transparent society<br>Social concerns: privacy, social sorting, data–driven analytics, security, fair use/availability, equity, consent, complexity, rates, power/control, government authority, RF transmissions, resilience, regulatory issues, legislation, sustainability, autonomy, living off the grid, transhumanism<br>
