SLAECE 2009 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press

and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library together with ICIW 2009.

IEEE will index the papers with major indexes. Authors of selected

papers will be invited to submit extended versions to one of the IARIA

Journals.

Submissions

Submission deadline: December 10, 2008

We welcome technical papers presenting research, practical results and

case studies, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific

proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in

industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and

solutions on any of the topics of interest, short papers on work in

progress, and panel proposals.

The topics suggested by the workshop can be discussed in term of

concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running

experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete

unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference

or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas.

Industrial presentations and legal case studies are not subject to these

constraints. We expect short and long presentations that express

industrial/legal position and status.

Topics

The age of information and communication has revolutionized the way

companies do business, especially in providing competitive and

innovative services. Business processes not only integrates departments

and subsidiaries of enterprises but also are extended across

organizations and to interact with governments.

On the other hand, wireless technologies and peer-to-peer networks

enable ubiquitous access to services and information systems with

scalability. This results in the removal of barriers of market expansion

and new business opportunities as well as threats. In this new global

and ubiquitous environment, it is of increasing importance to consider

legal and social aspects in business activities and information systems

that will provide some level of certainty.

There is a broad spectrum of vertical domains where legal and social

issues influence the design and development of information systems, such

as web personalization and protection of users privacy in service

provision, intellectual property rights protection when designing and

implementing virtual works and multiplayer digital games, copyright

protection in collaborative environments, automation of contracting and

contract monitoring on the web, protection of privacy in location-based

computing, etc.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together computer science

researchers, engineers, policy makers and practitioners working at the

state of the art on information and related fields such as legal domain,

social sciences, and marketing. This event will also outline the major

challenges and future perspectives on incorporating legal and social

aspects at the design, deployment, evaluation of information systems

under emerging computing environments, such as, but not limited to, (i)

service-oriented architecture (SOA) and service computing, (ii) Mobile,

pervasive, and ubiquitous computing, (iii) Web security and privacy,

(iv) Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services, (v) Agent and autonomous

computing, (vi) Grid computing, (vi) Virtual communities, or (vii)

Inter-, intra-organizational integration.

Topics of legal and social aspects of information systems include but

are not limited to:

Principles, theories, and challenges of legal and social aspects

Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering of legal and social

aspects Architectures, implementations, and deployment consideration of

legal and social aspects Cyber threats, emerging risks, systemic

concerns, and emergency preparedness Social computing and lifestyle

computing Service marketing and customer relationship management Market

structures and emerging business models Emerging legal issues due to new

computing environment File / information sharing networks and user

behavior Knowledge modeling, management, and application Negotiation and

contracting as well as contract monitoring and enforcement E-democracy,

e-policy, and governance Legal and social ontologies Privacy and

copyright in collaborative environments and social networks Intellectual

property rights Trust, security, and privacy Counterfeit forensic

Identity management and access control Security and privacy in

location-based services
