CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION

2nd PET-Convention (PET-CON 2008.1)

Organized by RWTH Aachen, University of Bamberg,
University of Frankfurt, University of Kassel and
University of Regensburg.

Hosted in Aachen, Germany

February 11th, 2008


We invite you to attend PET-CON 2008.1 — the second convention in Germany in the area of Privacy Enhancing Techniques. We plan to bring together researchers, students, developers and other interested people to discuss novel research, current development and techniques. The convention is organized by no single entity, but rather a group of people from the universities mentioned above.

Topics covered by the convention

  • abuse detection/protection
  • anonymous routing
  • application layer privacy
  • end-user education and training (in the PET area)
  • location privacy
  • new ideas and paradigms for PETs
  • quality of protection in PETs
  • quality of service in anonymizing networks
  • related law issues
  • trust negotiations and establishment in anonymizing networks


Convention program

The program will consist of short talks (no more that 10 minutes) of the attending people, followed by interactive discussions. Afterwards we will split in subgroups and work on current topics of research and exchange ideas. The time line of the program will start at 01.00 pm and will continue until the evening.

In addition to the talks, PET-CON provides its participants with a unique opportunity: you can submit an extended abstract of your work to a conference-style submission system, and you will receive reviews. Your submission should be in LNCS format, contain illustrations and have three to five pages including appendices and bibliography. After the review process, authors are expected to revise their work according to the feedback provided. The revised versions will then be electronically published and printed as technical report. This will allow other participants and users to cite your work and remember what you talked about. At the same time, you're still free to publish your work at real conferences.


Registration

If you would like to attend the convention, please mail your name and affiliation to registration (at) pet-con (dot) org. Please do not forget to include the subject of your talk if you plan to present your work. Detailed information about the submission process will be published at the web site (www.pet-con.org) in due time.

Note that you may give a talk without submitting an extended abstract before the convention. You may also attend the convention without giving a talk at all.
