Presentation

The11th edition of the Workshop on Privacy Protection (APVP) is being organized this year by teams from the Laboratoire Dynamiques du Droit at the University of Montpellier and the Privacy Working Group of the GDR Sécurité Informatique.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from the French-speaking community whose work focuses on privacy and personal data protection, and to offer them a privileged forum to present and exchange their ideas on this topic. The workshop is multidisciplinary and aims to bring together researchers in computer science, law, economics, sociology, and statistics.

The workshop will take place from June 24 to 26, 2020, at Hameau de l’Etoile, in the heart of Languedoc, near Montpellier (arrival on site possible on the evening of June 23).

As APVP is not a conference in the traditional sense, participation in the workshop is conditional upon the submission of a contribution. A report on the workshop's work will be presented during the GDR Security national conference in July 2020.

Themes

The topics covered include (but are not limited to):

  • Data anonymization and cleansing
  • AI, security, and privacy
  • Data analysis, "Big Data"
  • Internet of Things, privacy-friendly ubiquitous systems
  • Smart cities and personal data

  • Cryptography for privacy protection
  • Definition and formalization of the concepts of anonymity and privacy
  • Right to be forgotten

As in previous editions, APVP 2019 will take a multidisciplinary approach. Contributions on the legal, economic, or social dimensions of privacy protection are particularly encouraged.
