The 9th Annual PrivaCI Symposium will take place on June 10-11, 2027 in Laval 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 use this template on Overleaf. For Word, download this template
We look forward to seeing you at the PrivaCI symposium!
PrivaCI 2027 AI Policy for Authors
This policy is based on the PoPETs AI Policy for Authors, the ACM Policy on Authorship, and transparency practices adopted by other security and privacy research conferences.
Generative AI use is subject to the following principles:
- Accountability: Authors retain full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their submissions and research artifacts.
- AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Human authors must make substantial intellectual contributions and take responsibility for the work.
Note: using AI to generate text can involve plagiarising the work of other humans but without due credit. - Disclosure:Authors must disclose any use of AI using the following key:
- Grammar, spelling, and formatting
- References and bibliography
- Outlining
- Drafting text (strongly discouraged)
- Research integrity: Fabrication, hallucinations, plagiarism, falsification, and material omissions are unacceptable.
- Verify all references and BibTeX entries. Fabricated or inaccurate citations are grounds for desk rejection.
