    Call For Papers - CFP

    Kaleidoscope 2017: Challenges for a data-driven society is the ninth in a series of peer-reviewed academic conferences organized by ITU

    to bring together a wide range of views from universities, industry and research institutions. The aim of the Kaleidoscope conferences is to identify emerging developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and, in particular, areas in need of international standards to aid the healthy development of the Information Society.

    Theme

    More data have been produced over the last two years than over the entire previous history of humanity. The volume of data that networks transport continues to soar to previously unimaginable heights. Emerging technological developments, specifically smart applications (e.g. smart cities and the smart grid) and the Internet of Things (IoT), will further fuel this trend.

    This exponential growth and availability of data, along with enhanced collecting, processing and analytics capabilities, have opened up new frontiers in sustainable development. But globally accepted standards are needed to avoid the development of incompatible data silos and to establish a universal, shared and integrated data ecosystem that allows the deployment of the accumulated data in a highly secure environment, for the benefit of all.

    The questions that need to be answered in this context include, among many others:

    - Which technical challenges need to be overcome to encourage data portability, to share and aggregate data and to eventually enable interoperability of different data ecosystems?

    - What are the legal frameworks required to build a universal, shared and integrated data ecosystem?

    - What are the technological advances required to make sense of the immense volume of data available?

    - What type of standards are needed for the analysis of the data and the interpretation of results?

    - Are (telecommunication/ICT) standards organisations qualified to address the problems associated with data production, dissemination and storage?

    - What are the synergies, if any, between the industry’s view of data as a source of competitive advantage and the public sector’s view of data as a public good?

    - How can end-users receive equitable value in return for generating data?

    - How can standards and regulation protect individual users’ data across multiple organisational and geographic boundaries? How can trust be

    established in the provided level of protection?

    Objective

    Kaleidoscope 2017 calls for original academic papers that offer innovative and bold approaches relevant to technology, business and policy aspects

    of data management and analysis and encourage the development of applications and services building on data technologies to improve society.

    Audience

    Kaleidoscope 2017 targets specialists in the fields of ICT and socioeconomic development, including researchers, academics, students,

    engineers, policymakers, regulators, innovators and futurists.

    Submission of papers

    Prospective authors from ITU Member States are invited to submit full, original papers. The submission should be within eight pages, including a summary and references, using the template available on the event website.All papers will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Submission must be made electronically; see http://itu.int/go/K-2017 for more details on online submission (EDAS). Paper proposals will be evaluated according

    to content, originality, clarity, relevance to the conference’s theme and, in particular, significance to future standards.

    Publication and presentation

    Accepted and presented papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. In addition, extended versions of selected papers will be

    considered for publication in the International Journal of Technology Marketing, the International Journal of Standardization Research, or the Journal of ICT Standardization.

    Awards

    The Steering and Technical Programme Committees will award the authors of the three best papers. In addition, young authors of up to 30 years of age presenting accepted papers will receive Young Author Recognition certificates.
