> Exploring Cyber Society II
> Dissent and deviance
> in the Information Age
>
> To be held at University of Northumbria
> 9-11 July 2001
>
>
>
> Following on the success of the First Exploring Cyber Society
> International Conference at Northumbria University in July 1999, the
> second International Conference will focus on disruptive and oppositional
> currents within cyber-society. We are interested in such phenomena as
> computer hacking; the sending of logic bombs and viruses; denial of
> service attacks; circulation of criminal and obscene material, and the
> co-ordination of real world activities ranging from organised criminality
> to legitimate popular protest.
>
> The motivations and concerns behind such activities are, of course, highly
> disparate. However, what they share is an attitude of dissent that
> conflicts with the benign vision of the 'networked society' and a
> willingness to explore the opportunities for deviance that are opened up
> by computer networks. The aim of the conference is to explore this idea
> and its implications for the future shape of a society whose
> infrastructure is increasingly dependent upon the smooth running of
> computer networks.
>
> Papers are invited under the following themes (though these are not
> exclusive and any proposal relevant to the theme of the conference will be
> considered):
>
>
> Themes:
>
> * The networked infrastructure of the information society and the
> problem of new vulnerabilities.
> * Globalisation, computer crime and the use of computer networks by
> organised crime
> * The computer underground, hackers, computer-addiction and
> psycho-pathologies associated with computer (mis-)use
> * 'Cyber-terrorism' and 'hacktivism'
> * Security, policing and legal aspects of computer crime
>
> We welcome papers of a theoretical or empirical nature and would
> particularly like to see as many disciplinary perspectives as possible
> represented.
>
> Call for Papers: the Deadlines
>
> Abstracts (maximum 500 words) should be submitted by Friday January 26th
> 2001. A decision on acceptance will be made by Friday 9th March 2001.
