CFP 2010 - The Twentieth Conference on Computers, Freedom and Privacy CFP2010

he 20th annual ACM Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference invites proposals for this year's conference. This year's conference theme is Computers, Freedom, and Privacy in the Networked Society. We especially encourage proposals that focus on the ways different kinds of networks -- social, communication, information physical -- interact with freedom and privacy. We're also looking for proposals that take advantage of this year's location in Silicon Valley, include a diverse set of panelists and new voices, feature multiple perspectives on challenging issues, and look to the future by exploring cutting-edge technology, legal, and policy issues. The first comment has a list of some potential topics ... other suggestions very welcome! Key dates:
Our early-bird deadline is December 11, 2009; selected early proposals will be notified of acceptance by the end of January.
The final deadline is March 1, 2010. Notifications will be sent by March 15.
The conference is June 15-18, 2010, in San Jose, California.
We prefer proposals via the CFP2010 electronic submission system. You may choose to email your proposal. Contact information will be used only for discussions about proposals and to send information about the CFP conference. The program committee may accept parts of submissions without accepting the entire submission. For example, the program committee frequently combine multiple proposals, or take a session topic and adds some different speakers. Where submissions are combined with others, the submitters' contributions will be acknowledged in the program. CFP does not generally provide speaker honoraria. We will waive the conference registration fees for speakers from academic, non-profit, and government institutions (except for BOFs). In addition, travel funding may be available for some speakers through the CFP scholarship programs or on a case-by-case basis.
