IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper Submission: 15th April 2011 (deadline extended to 22nd April)

* Author Notification: 30th April, 2013

* Camera ready copy due: 15th May 2013

SCOPE

In recent years, Web users have seen an exponential growth in the amount 
of data being generated and exchanged in form of blogs, tweets, social 
networking and mobile applications. In this respect, Semantic 
technologies have emerged as a potential candidate for modelling and 
building of software systems that are privacy-aware.

On the other hand, recent linked-data initiatives from government, 
academia and industry are rapidly moving towards making the users' data 
available for distributed sharing and linking. However, the main concern 
is with insufficient privacy safeguards and controls, there is a high 
risk these linking of data and its exploitation will become a "privacy 
nightmare" for the Web users. Semantic Web has been redefined in recent 
years but the privacy enhancing technologies specifically relating to 
the use of URI, RDF and SPARQL are still lagging behind. Addressing such 
privacy challenges in the software engineering domain will entail 
eliciting user-centric requirements and modelling, knowledge discovery 
and representation, privacy policy modelling, privacy-by-design 
architectures and evaluation of privacy enhancing techniques and 
methods.Therefore, this workshop aims at providing a forum for 
researchers and practitioners to exchange and disseminate their work to 
a wider audience and receive critical feedback on work primarily 
supporting privacy in and with semantic technologies.

TOPICS

We welcome high-quality technical papers about recent advancements in 
(a) how privacy is being supported in the Web of Data, especially 
through semantic technologies and (b) how Semantic Web principles are 
being applied in the context of privacy protection of Web users or 
end-users of software systems in general. We seek application-oriented, 
as well as more theoretical papers and position papers in the following, 
non-exhaustive list of topics:

*Privacy in semantic technologies

*Use of semantic technologies in privacy protection

* Privacy implications of knowledge extraction

*Privacy implications of data integration and data linking

*Privacy in Big Data

*Knowledge discovery and privacy

*Inferring privacy consequences of online activities

*User and knowledge modelling for privacy

*Knowledge approaches to privacy requirements

*Knowledge approaches to privacy assessment

*Privacy policy modelling and interoperability

*Modelling of private information propagation

*Impact of semantic technologies on privacy in specific domains 
(healthcare, politics, etc.)

SUBMISSIONS

We seek short position papers (max. 5 pages) and longer technical papers 
not exceeding 10 pages. Both types of papers should be formatted 
according to the ACM format (2 column SIG Conference Proceedings 
template <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates> is 
available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) 
and should be submitted through EasyChair 
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=priset2013).

/Accepted papers will be published in online proceedings. The organisers 
of the workshop are also currently discussing a follow-up special issue 
of the Semantic Web Journal (http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/) on 
Privacy in Semantic Technologies./
