Brief topic description

Dissatisfaction with information security in our world of pervasive computing has led to calls for new paradigms to secure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of often vital information. Some paradigms represent old-style authoritarian control of information, hindering benefits for education and enlightenment. Others transfer responsibility and autonomy to individuals themselves.

This session discusses ways technologies, law and political must come together to create a coherent, beneficial regime of information security. The IBM Skills Academy Design Thinking model guides our iterative solution session on what next to do.

Call for Proposals - Birds of a Feather Session at CoCoNet'19

We are pleased to announce that the CoCoNet'19 will feature "Birds of a Feather" sessions. A Birds of a Feather (BoF) session provides a gathering place and discussion forum for those interested in the same issues and concepts. BoFs can be organized for sharing ideas on specific topics, narrow or broad. These are not workshops or sessions where people present papers, but open, "brainstorming" forums for attendees who want to get together with others to share their current interests, goals, technology, environment, or backgrounds. BoFs are an excellent forum for lively, open discussion.

If you want to organize and run a Birds of a Feather session (30 - 60 minutes), please send a proposal by 12th of December at coconet.conference@gmail.com. The sessions will be conducted on the third day of the confernece.

A BoF proposal must include:
