CFP: The Annual Privacy Forum 2012

27 April 2012

Papers offering novel research contributions in the areas of privacy and trust are solicited for submission to the 1st edition of APF2012. The conference will take place on Cyprus, October 10-12, 2012.

The focus is on original, high quality, unpublished research and implementation experiences as well as position papers and papers that offer a systematization of knowledge.

• Privacy models
• Privacy by design
