CLaw: IEEE 3rd International Workshop on Legal and Technical Issues in
Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things
http://www.claw-workshop.org
April 2017, Vancouver, Canada
in conjunction with IC2E 2016: IEEE International Conference on Cloud
Engineering
(apologies for cross-posting)
===========================================================
*** This workshop brings together technical and legal practitioners to
explore technical responses to legal problems, and to interrogate legal
frameworks for new and emerging directions in cloud computing, the
Internet of Things, and systems technologies in general ***
With cloud computing continuing to revolutionise the provision of IT
services, and the promises and threats of the Internet of Things (IoT)
growing by the day, legal and policy concerns surrounding these
technologies gain increasing salience and prominence. Existing and
proposed regulatory and governance regimes place obligations on those
who manage (process, use and collect) data. The end-users of
applications provisioned in the cloud and IoT also have certain rights
that must be respected – various parties all bear varying degrees of
responsibility, which must be properly managed.
Managing these rights and responsibilities is becoming increasingly
complex, both technically and legally, particularly due to the emergence
of new cloud services and models, as well as because of movements
towards collaborative, decentralised and mobile clouds. For instance,
the cloud will play an increasing role in supporting the evolving IoT,
which exacerbates issues of scale and data management while bringing
real (physical) world considerations.
Building on the successes of the previous workshops, CLaw 2017 aims to
facilitate an interdisciplinary exploration of tech-legal challenges as
regards emerging systems technologies.
===========================================================
The workshop aims to encompass a broad range of issues where technology
and law intersect. Some suggested topics, in no particular order,
include:
* Technical enforcement of legal regulations, service level agreements,
mutual legal assistance requests, and other instruments
* Privacy and security in cloud services and IoT
* Internet of Things: data sharing, threats, liability, audit and
compliance concerns for cloud-supported IoT, fog and edge computing
* Application of cloud computing in regulated sectors
* Emerging cloud and infrastructure service models (X as a Service)
* Issues concerning the interaction between cloud and IoT technologies,
and big data and machine learning
* Emerging cloud technologies (decentralised clouds: cloudlets,
droplets; containment mechanisms)
* Compatibility issues between regulation and technical implementation
* Regional cloud initiatives (e.g. EU-only cloud), and other data
localisation concerns
* Cybercrime: phishing, malware and spam proliferation within cloud
computing and IoT
* Encryption, security technologies and responsibility
* Issues of surveillance in cloud and IoT architectures
* Anti-discrimination, human rights, privacy and power issues with cloud
and IoT
* Interaction between cloud and IoT and consumer-facing business models,
including the transformations towards crowd labour, algorithmic
decision-making and automation
The key goal of this workshop is to stimulate a multidisciplinary
discussion and new directions on these important issues. As such, we
welcome a wide range of submissions, whether technical, legal or thought
pieces to stimulate debate. For those technical in nature - fully
implemented and evaluated systems are not essential, and
application-specific papers are welcome.
Papers should be no more than six pages in IEEE format. Accepted papers
will be published in IEEE Xplore, and at least one author of an accepted
paper is required to present the work at the workshop.
Important Dates [Extended deadline]
* Paper submission: Dec 15, 2016
* Author notification: Jan 24, 2017
* Final camera ready: Jan 31, 2017
* Workshop date: 4-7 Apr 2017 (exact date TBD)
