ICT 2008 : “Networking sessions” related to SERENITY themes

The networking sessions bring together people interested in a specific topic to discuss project ideas, research activities and partnerships in a less formal way than the usual conference sessions. Two of them should be noticed as they deal with themes closely related to SERENITY areas of interest :
  “Privacy, Identity Management and Dependability in Emerging ICT-based Interaction Scenarios : Trustworthy Fulfilment of Requirements beyond purely Technological Innovation” This session provides a platform to discuss new interaction scenarios and research directions in which privacy, identity management, and the emerging risks and implications of future ICTs are more fully considered at the design stage. Experts in ICT design, use and standards/regulations, who would like to share their knowledge and experiences, are most welcome. Agenda of this networking session : click here

  “Societal and ICT perspectives : the impact of Trust, Security, Dependability, Privacy and Identity” Europe must develop a coherent innovation strategy in the field of security for ICT-based systems. This networking session aims to open up debate in a multidisciplinary environment, integrating socio-economic and technological perspectives ; it will also raise awareness of ongoing research in this area. Two parts : Part 1. Security & Dependability for Future Internet : we have speakers on architectural challenges, covering Network and Services Infrastructures, Accountability and Measurements, mainly from the technical perspective, followed by a finance industry scenario. Part 2. Privacy &Trust for the Information Society : we concentrate more on the user perspective while still taking into account the underlying technology ; we cover Identity Management, ID Provisioning, Privacy and Security, and Trust and Security.
