The 6th Annual Symposium on Applications of Contextual Integrity, September 27-28, 2024 in New Jersey, US, Rutgers University.

The aim of the symposium is to foster interaction among diverse communities of research and practice using Contextual Integrity to reason about privacy, and to design and evaluate, craft regulation, and generate formal logics for privacy.

We will accept any of the following submission types:

• A 4-page position paper on work in progress (references not included in the page limit)
• An extended abstract (1-2 pages) summarizing published or mature work. Please include a short “works cited” section situating your work within it and clarifying its contribution. If your topic is entirely novel or interdisciplinary, please indicate that as well. If your abstract is accepted, you will have the option of posting the longer paper on the symposium website.
• A 1-page description of an interesting use case to be discussed at the symposium.
• A 1-page description of real-world case study from industry or policy.

The workshop will not publish formal (i.e. archival) proceedings. Instead, the workshop aims to foster discussion and feedback to improve work-in-progress for subsequent publication elsewhere. With author’s permission, accepted submissions will be posted on the website, but will not be considered archival publications.

Submissions will be peer-reviewed in a single-blind manner by the workshop’s Program Committee and accepted based on relevance and potential to contribute to workshop discussions and goals. We encourage submissions from diverse disciplinary sources, methods, and contributions, including:

• Empirical studies (qualitative, quantitative, experimental)
• Legal, philosophical, ethical, and policy analysis
• System design and/or implementations
• Combinations of the above

Papers should be formatted using the ACM Master Article Template. For LaTeX users, choose format=sigconf.

TRAVEL GRANTS

Participants can apply for a travel grant award that can go towards partially covering the cost of attending the symposium by filling in this form.

The only travel expenses that can be reimbursed are: air travel and hotel. The exact number of awards will depend on the availability of funds and will be determined as funding amounts are finalized.

NSF Student Grant Application

The NSF awards are limited to students studying at a US institution

The National Science Foundation has just awarded us funding to cover graduate student travel expenses to attend the 2024 PrivaCI symposium!

This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn about research and practice in the application of contextual integrity as a framework to reason about privacy.

Students from under-represented groups including but not limited to women, minorities, and members of the LGTBQ+ community are strongly encouraged to apply.

Students will be provided with the support of $1000-$1500 depending on where they are travelling from to be used towards registration, hotel and airfare costs.

Please use this link to apply.

We will allocate funding to qualified applicants until funding is used up.

Travel grant awardees will be expected to participate in both days of the workshop and will be hosted at a mentoring lunch.
