===========================================================
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 =========================================================== *** 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. Please see http://www.claw-workshop.org/ for full submission details.
