Privacy by Design – Catalyzing Privacy by Design

/, , //Washington, D.C.
Frontiers in Regulation and Management. This workshop reviewed the lessons from workshops #1-3 and examined how existing regulatory models, along with other factors, shaped organizations’ understanding of privacy problems, approaches, and solutions. Building on workshop-generated insights on the strengths and limitations of current approaches—in terms of concepts, incentives, actors—the workshop considered how well regulatory models respond to privacy-by-design challenges, and identified open research questions.

Theoretical Foundations for Social Computing

/, , , //Washington D.C.
Social computing encompasses the mechanisms through which people interact with computational systems---for instance, crowdsourcing platforms, ranking and recommendation systems, online prediction markets, or collaboratively edited wikis. Social computing is blossoming into a rich research area of its own, with contributions from diverse disciplines spanning computer science, economics, sociology, systems research, and HCI, to name just a few.
