This workshop discusses the problems related to privacy in the global interconnected society and their possible solutions. The 2008 Workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM CCS conference, is the seventh in a yearly forum for papers on all the different aspects of privacy in today's electronic society. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - anonymity, pseudonymity, and unlinkability - privacy and confidentiality management - business models with privacy requirements - privacy in electronic records - protection from correlation, inference, and linking attacks - privacy in health care and public administration - electronic communication privacy - public records and personal privacy - information dissemination control - privacy and virtual identity - privacy-aware access control - personally identifiable information - privacy in the digital business - privacy policy enforcement - privacy enhancing technologies - privacy and data mining - privacy policies and their enforcement - relationships between privacy and security - privacy and anonymity in Web transactions - user profiling - privacy in social networks - wireless privacy - privacy threats - economics of privacy - privacy and human rights - RFIDs and privacy - privacy in mobile computing - privacy in outsourced computing - privacy in electronic voting =Paper Submissions= Papers must be submitted electronically at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wpes2008. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using single-column, 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions are not required to be anonymized. Authors of submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as an abstract (4 proceedings pages). Papers are to be submitted electronically via the online submission system. Before you submit the body of your paper, please submit the paper's abstract (1-2 paragraphs) through the online submission system; we will use these abstracts to help in assigning reviewers to papers during the week before the paper is due. The online submission form also allows you to upload a file containing your paper (in PDF or portable postscript format). Do NOT upload files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted full papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in a conference proceedings. =Important Dates= - Deadline for submission of paper abstract (used only to assign reviewers to papers): May 12, 2008 - Deadline for submission of all papers: May 19, 2008 - Acceptance notification: July 20, 2008 - Final papers due: August 10, 2008 (hard) =Program Committee= Program Chair ------------- Marianne Winslett , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign winslett at cs.uiuc.edu Web & Proceedings Chair ----------------------- Ragib Hasan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign PC members ---------- Alessandro Acquisti Carnegie Mellon University Alastair Beresford University of Cambridge Marina Blanton University of Notre Dame Nikita Borisov University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Roger Dingledine FreeHaven Keith Frikken Miami University J.
