Subject: Confidentiality symposium
> International Symposium on
> Confidentiality, Privacy and Disclosure in the 21st century
> Mandec Centre, University of Manchester, UK
> 3 May 2005
>
> Context:
>
> The issues of Confidentiality and Privacy took numerous twists and turns
> during the second half of the 20th Century, as the media globalisation,
> computing, the Internet, surveillance technology all emerged and then
> became more sophisticated, faster, and more efficient. As we have entered
> the 21st century we have seen the emergence of the Grid with its promise
> of fast distributed analyses over multiple, very large sets of data.
> Through this, the potential for linking data of different types, and from
> different sources has become incresingly feasible.
>
> In the light of these changes the notion of confidentiality has itself had
> to evolve to take into account the new technology, but also using that
> technology through sophisticated systems of disclosure control and more
> recently through the ideas such as intruder detection and data sentries.
> This symposium will bring together international experts in
> confidentiality and privacy research from the fields of law, data
> protection, statistics, social science and computer science to debate the
> implications of recent technological advances.
>
> Key questions to be addressed are:
> How is new technology going to affect the way we view privacy,
> confidentiality and disclosure?
> How can technology be used to enable confidentiality rather than
> threatening it?
>
> How is disclosure risk assessed? How is that likely to change over time?
> Papers will be given by experts in confidentiality and privacy -
> describing their research, discussing the relationship between research
> and policy, together with future gazing - outlining the possibilities,
> potential threats and opportunities. The day will be structured around
> eight speakers with plenty of discussion time.
>
> Contributors:
> The key note address will be give by Professor George Duncan from Carnegie
> Mellon University, USA. Other invited speakers include: Professor John
> Forster (University of Southampton); Professor JJ Salazar (University of
> Tenerife); Dr. Michael Carlson (University of Stockholm); Dr. Julian
> Stander (University of Plymouth); Dr. Dean Judson (US Census Bureau);
> Professor Charles Raab (University of Edinburgh) and Dr. Francis Aldhouse
> (UK, Information Commission).
