>
>The 15th annual conference on Computers, Freedom & Privacy takes place
>from Wednesday, April 12th, to Friday, April 15th, 2005, in Seattle,
>Washington.
>
>The Program Committee is now accepting proposals for conference
>sessions and speakers for CFP2005. The deadline for submissions is
>December 31, 2004
>
>CFP serves as an internationally recognized forum for the members of
>the technical, government, hacker, legal, business, education, media,
>cyber-rights, and non-profit communities to address cutting edge
>technical, business, legal and cultural issues. Programs, topics, and
>speakers from prior years' CFP conferences can be found at: www.cfp.org
>
>The CFP2005 Program Committee welcomes proposals on all aspects of
>technology, freedom and privacy. We are particularly interested in
>receiving proposals that ask the hard questions about privacy and
>freedom in emerging surveillance societies, and challenging those
>assumptions. For example, how much surveillance is too much? When
>does surveillance cease making us more secure and begin to change the
>fabric of society?
>
>The theme of the 15th CFP is "Panopticon 2005." Over time, and
>particularly recently, surveillance of ordinary citizens has increased
>to dramatic levels. Not only are governments watching more aspects of
>their citizens' lives, but those in the private sector are increasing
>surveillance of people as well. Often lost in the race to "increase
>intelligence" are discussions about different approaches to address
>problems like the threat of terrorism that are equally or more
>effective, but do not involve extensive and constant surveillance.
>
>In addition to topics directly related to the Panopticon 2005 theme,
>other areas of interest include:
>
>1. domestic and international travel issues
>2. communications surveillance
>3. children and young adults growing up in a surveillance society
>4. social networking
>5. the flourishing of free speech (i.e. blogging) in spite of increased
>watchfulness
>6. RFIDs and other emerging technologies
>7. Intellectual property issues
>
>We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops,
>and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for
>speakers and other relevant topics not listed above. Sessions should
>present a wide range of thinking on a topic by including speakers from
>different viewpoints. We particularly welcome proposals for non-
>traditional presentations - those that utilize drama, "mock trials,"
>interactivity, the performing arts, and audience participation.
>
>Complete submission instructions appear on the CFP2005 web site:
>
> www.cfp2005.org
>
>All submissions must be received by December 31, 2004. The CFP2005
>Program Committee will notify submitters of the status of their
>proposals by January 20, 2005.
