The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will cover travel expenses for all participants who desire it. Please make your hotel reservation, using the link you receive after registering for the workshop. Participants are asked to make their own travel arrangements to get to the workshop, including purchasing airline tickets. Following the symposium, CCC will circulate a reimbursement form that participants will need to complete and submit, along with copies of receipts for amounts exceeding $75.

In general, standard Federal travel policies apply: CCC will reimburse for non-refundable economy airfare on U.S. Flag carriers; and no alcohol will be covered.

For more information, please see the Guidelines for Participant Reimbursements from CCC.

Additional questions about the reimbursement policy should be directed to Ann Drobnis, CCC Director (adrobnis [at] cra.org).

Privacy Engineering Tool Clinic

The objective of this tool clinic is to reflect on privacy (engineering) tools in the presence of interdisciplinary experts from academia, industry, government and civil society. During a tool clinic session, toolmakers present their tool, then two ringers steer and stir a lively discussion with an multi-disciplinary group of participants. The exercise aims to promote the collective evaluation of the tool with a focus on future directions for the presented tool. During tool clinic sessions the participants are encouraged to put themselves in the shoes of the designer and to reflect on a privacy engineering problem in the context of a concrete artifact. At the same time, the sessions provide toolmakers with an opportunity to rethink their tools in the presence of a group of experts with trans-disciplinary skills. By raising questions around production, licensing, deployment, use, legal implications, maintenance and sustainability the tool clinic also encourages participants to think about privacy engineering in holistic terms.
