Third
International Summer School
organized by IFIP WG 9.2, 9.6/11.7, 11.6
in cooperation with FIDIS Network of Excellence and HumanIT
The Future of Identity in
the Information Society
was
held at Karlstad
University,
Sweden
6th – 10th
August 2007
Introduction
The increasing diversity of
Information Communication Technologies and their equally diverse range of
uses in personal, professional and official capacities raise challenging
questions of identity in a variety of contexts. Each communication
exchange contains an identifier which may, or may not, be intended by the
parties involved. What constitutes an identity, how do new technologies
affect identity, how do we manage identities in a globally networked
information society?
The theme of this Summer
School will be on Identity Management in relation to current and future
technologies in a variety of contexts. IFIP takes a holistic approach to
technology. FIDIS supports interdisciplinary exchange. So participants’
contributions combining technical, social, ethical or legal perspectives
are welcome. Topics of interest included:
Identity management,
security, profiling and customer relation management, advanced identity
documents, ID related crime, RFID, tracking technologies, biometrics,
privacy, anonymity and pseudonymity,
surveillance, data retention, knowledge management, impact on social
exclusion/digital divide/cultural issues … etc.
All sessions started with an
introduction by an invited speaker, followed by parallel workshops in the
morning and afternoon. Workshops consisted of short presentations based
on the contributions that have been submitted by the participants, followed
by active discussion. The aim of the Summer School is to encourage a
stimulating discourse between all participants – be they new researchers
or experienced academics. Contributions were selected based on an
extended abstract review by the Summer School Programme Committee.
Accepted papers applied an interdisciplinary view or support it and are
now published in the Summer School web site. Selected papers will be
published in proceedings after the Summer School by the official
IFIP publisher Springer Science and Business
Media.
