PTRU 2015 - International Workshop on Privacy threats and the rise of ubiquitous computing

Ubiquitous sensors and processors embedded in the physical environment hold promise of a smart world where the personal data collected is used to derive computational intelligence and provide trustworthy, personalized, and adaptive services to people. The data from these sensors are often collected unobtrusively, as people perform their daily activities, revealing their personal habits and behaviors. However, some of these behaviors can be sensitive to people giving rise to privacy concerns threatening the very adoption of the emerging ubiquitous technologies.
In this workshop, we invite papers presenting original research results addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of privacy that arise while sharing of personal sensor data. Papers may include but need not be limited to new data obfuscation methodologies, privacy metrics, construction and evaluation of privacy-aware systems and so on.
