The Tenth Conference on Computers Freedom and Privacy
CFP2000: CHALLENGING THE ASSUMPTIONS

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION  

The Program Committee of the Tenth Conference on Computers, Freedom,
and Privacy (CFP2000) is seeking proposals for conference sessions and
speakers.

For the past decade, CFP has played a major role in the public debate
on the future of privacy and freedom in the online world.  The CFP
audience is as diverse as the Net itself, with attendees not only from
government, business, education, and non-profits, but also from the
community of computer professionals, hackers, crackers and engineers
who work the code of cyberspace.  The themes have been broad and
forward-looking. CFP explores what will be. It is the place where the
future is mapped.

The theme of the tenth CFP conference is 'Challenging the
Assumptions'.  After a decade of CFP conferences, it's time to examine
what we have learned. "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" has
become a cliche, but we've learned that unless we take measures to
protect our identities, people can and do identify us on the Internet.
We have talked about the role of government in cyberspace, and some
have even suggested that the Net needs no government. But now that
increasing numbers of people around the world are relying on the
Internet not just as a marketplace of ideas, but the market where they
conduct their daily business, the issue of governance has come to the
forefront. And even where no rules have been imposed by governments,
some argue that standards setters and technology implementers have
imposed de facto rules. At CFP2000 we want to re-examine the
assumptions we have been making and consider which ones still make
sense as we move forward.

Proposals are welcomed on all aspects of computers, freedom, and
privacy. We strongly encourage proposals that challenge the future,
tackle the hard questions, look at old issues in new ways, articulate
and analyze key assumptions, and present complex issues in all their
complexity.

We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops,
and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for
speakers and topics. Sessions should present a wide range of thinking
on a topic by including speakers from different viewpoints.  Complete
submission instructions appear on the CFP2000 web site at
http://www.cfp2000.org/submissions/.  All submissions must be received
by October 15, 1999.  The CFP2000 Program Committee will notify
submitters of the status of their proposals by December 3.

Workshop on Freedom and Privacy by Design

On the first day of CFP2000 we will hold a workshop that explores
using -technology- to bring about strong protections of civil
liberties which are guaranteed by the technology itself---in short, to
get hackers, system architects, and implementors strongly involved in
CFP and its goals.  Our exploration of technology includes (a)
implemented, fielded systems, and (b) what principles and
architectures should be developed, including which open problems must
be solved, to implement and field novel systems that can be inherently
protective of civil liberties.

We aim to bring together implementors and those who have studied the
social issues of freedom and privacy in one room to generate ideas for
systems that we should field, and implementation strategies for
fielding them.

If you would like to participate, you must submit a short paper or
extended abstract on some issue related to the workshop by November
12. Complete submission instructions are available at
http://www.cfp2000.org/workshop/
