REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: CFP98
(proposals must be received by August 15,1997 to be considered)
COMPUTERS, FREEDOM, AND PRIVACY CONFERENCE February 18-20, 1998 Hyatt Regency Austin at Town Lake Austin, TX
The Eighth Annual Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP98) is scheduled for Wednesday February 18 to Friday February 20, 1998 in Austin, Texas, at the Hyatt Regency Austin Hotel on Town Lake.
The Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conferences serve as an internationally recognized forum and gathering place for the key members of the technical, government, hacker, legal, security and journalistic communities to address cutting edge technical, business, legal and cultural issues.
Topics and speakers from prior years' CFP conferences can be found at the CFP web site, http://www.cfp.org.
For the 1998 CFP conference, The 1998 Program Committee (members listed below) is particularly interested in receiving proposals that deal with:
1) emerging issues relating to privacy and data ownership, such as the use of infrared tracking of supermarket shopping carts to monitor search and purchasing patterns of customers; developments with medical databases, library filtering, GPS tracking systems, etc.
2) controversial issues;
3) conflict, e.g., debates where presenters have sharply defined and differing points of view, technolibertarian vs. anti-tech "humanist; " or have different training/disciplines, e.g., cyberactivists on virtual communities vs. sociologist/philosopher/writer discussing nature of the "physical world."
4) innovative and alterantive formats such as moot courts, case studies, reverse role playing, etc., to enliven some of CFP's recurring topics that are increasingly found at other conferences.
The 1998 Program Committee strongly encourages proposals that involve one or two speakers, as well as panel presentations. A single or two person presentation is often better focused than a panel and it is the goal of The 1998 Program Committee to provide a mix of panels and single/dual speaker presentations during the General Session. Ideally, panels will be limited to no more than four persons whose views are not duplicative of each other.
In addition to the two and one-half days of General Session, which starts the afternoon of Wednesday February 18, CFP98 will offer tutorials. Five or six three hour tutorial sessions will be offered on the morning of Wednesday February 18. CFP98 will also continue the practice of breakout topic presentations during the Thursday and Friday luncheons. The Program Committee is seeing proposals for both tutorials and the luncheon sessions.
It is the goal of the CFP98 Program Committee to be able to offer some travel money to speakers; however the amount or allocation of travel funds depends heavily on success in obtaining sponsors, which will not be known until early September.
The CFP98 Program Committee will meet the week of August 18 to finalize selection of proposals; consequently all proposals must be received * by August 15, 1997 * to assure consideration by the Program Committee. Please follow the submission guidelines below.
