The 3rd International Conference on e-Democracy "Next Generation Society: Technological and Legal Issues"
23 - 25 September 2009, Athens, Greece
About the conference
Recent developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have
paved a world of advanced communication, intelligent information processing,
and ubiquitous access to information and services. The ability to work,
communicate, interact, conduct business, and enjoy digital entertainment
virtually anywhere, is rapidly becoming common place due to a multitude of
small devices, ranging from mobile phones and PDAs to RFID tags and wearable
computers. The increasing number of connected devices and the proliferation
of networks, provide no indication of a slowdown in this tendency. On the
negative side, misuse of this same technology entails serious risks in
various aspects, such as privacy violations, advanced electronic crime,
cyber terrorism, and even enlargement of the digital divide. In extreme
cases it may even threaten basic principles and human rights. The
aforementioned issues raise an important question: Is our society ready to
adopt the technological advances in ubiquitous networking, next generation
Internet, and pervasive computing? To what extent will it manage to evolve
promptly and efficiently to a Next Generation Society, adopting the
forthcoming ICT challenges? The e-Democracy 2009 conference is dedicated to
this issue. Through a comprehensive list of thematic areas under the title
"Next Generation Society: Technological and Legal issues", the 2009
conference will try to stimulate discussions, create awareness, and provide
information on the technological, ethical, legal, and political challenges
ahead of us.
