>>>  The Program Committee is now accepting proposals for conference

>>>  CFP serves as an internationally recognized forum for the members of
>>>  the technical, government, hacker, legal, business, education, media,
>>>  cyber-rights, and non-profit communities to address cutting edge
>>>  technical, business, legal and cultural issues. Programs, topics, and

>>>  The CFP2005 Program Committee welcomes proposals on all aspects of
>>>  technology, freedom and privacy.  We are particularly interested in
>>>  receiving proposals that ask the hard questions about privacy and
>>>  freedom in emerging surveillance societies, and challenging those
>>>  assumptions.  For example, how much surveillance is too much?  When
>>>  does surveillance cease making us more secure and begin to change the
>>>  fabric of society?
>>>
>>>  The theme of the 15th CFP is "Panopticon 2005." Over time, and
>>>  particularly recently, surveillance of ordinary citizens has increased
>>>  to dramatic levels.  Not only are governments watching more aspects of
>>>  their citizens' lives, but those in the private sector are increasing
>>>  surveillance of people as well. Often lost in the race to "increase
>>>  intelligence" are discussions about different approaches to address
>>>  problems like the threat of terrorism that are equally or more
>>>  effective, but do not involve extensive and constant surveillance.
>>>
>>>  In addition to topics directly related to the Panopticon 2005 theme,
>>>  other areas of interest include:
>>>
>>>  1. domestic and international travel issues
>>>
>>>  2. communications surveillance
>>>
>>>  3. children and young adults growing up in a surveillance society
>>>
>>>  4. social networking
>>>
>>>  5. the flourishing of free speech (i.e. blogging) in spite of
>>> increased
>>>  watchfulness
>>>
>>>  6. RFIDs and other emerging technologies
>>>
>>>  7. Intellectual property issues
>>>
>>>  We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops,
>>>  and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for
>>>  speakers and other relevant topics not listed above. Sessions should
>>>  present a wide range of thinking on a topic by including speakers from
>>>  different viewpoints. We particularly welcome proposals for non-
>>>  traditional presentations - those that utilize drama, "mock trials,"
>>>  interactivity, the performing arts, and audience participation.
