Privacy issues have been the subject of public debates and the need for privacy-aware policies, regulations, and techniques has been widely recognized. Goal of this workshop is to discuss the problems of privacy in the global interconnected societies and possible solutions to it.
The 2003 Workshop is the second in what we hope will be a yearly forum for papers on all the different aspects of privacy in today's electronic society. The first workshop in the series was held in Washington, on 21 November 2002, in conjunction with the 9th ACM CCS conference. The success of this first workshop and the increased interest of the community in privacy issues, is the main reason for repeating the event.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

anonymity, pseudonymity, and unlinkability privacy and confidentiality management
business model with privacy requirements privacy in the electronic records
data protection from correlation and leakage attacks privacy in health care and public administration
electronic communication privacy public records and personal privacy
information dissemination control privacy and virtual identity
privacy-aware access control personally identifiable information
privacy in the digital business privacy policy enforcement
privacy enhancing technologies privacy and data mining
privacy policies and human rights relationships between privacy and security
privacy and anonymity in Web transactions user profiling
privacy threats wireless privacy


Paper submissions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Papers should have a cover page with the title, authors, abstract and contact information.
To submit a paper, send to wpes@dti.unimi.it a plain ASCII text email containing the title and abstract of your paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment) in PDF or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files).
Papers must be received by the deadline of June 17, 2003 (NEW). Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published by the ACM in a conference proceedings.

Panel proposals Proposals should be no longer than 5 pages in length, should include possible panelists and an indication of which panelists have confirmed participation.
Send to wpes@dti.unimi.it a plain ASCII text email containing the title of your panel and contact information. To the same message, attach your proposal (as a MIME attachment) in ASCII, PDF, or portable postscript format. Do NOT send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files). Panel proposals must be received by the deadline of June 17, 2003 (NEW).
