[GiftEconomy] Digital Currencies as "Pervasive Computing" ? Fwd: [Urbanscreens-l] Call for Papers - Pervasive Intelligibility Workshop (in conjunction with Pervasive 2011)

Wed Jan 5 06:40:27 PST 2011

Thanks Kellia.

Indeed, it "can be" ( ... fraught with privacy issues )
As with the use of any information systems I would , personally, presume.

How to combine privacy ( cryptography and anonymous onion routing,
distributed systems, ... )
with seamless usage ?

How to make the use / interface of various measurment units and contracts /
complementary currencies easy ?

By currencies, I may also mean gift economics using reputation; or using
information regarding needs and offers.

What ( combination of ? ) simple of use interface for high complexity,
distributed, autonomous interdependencies and exchanges ?

I imagine currently paper money, bank card credit transfers, and various
tools enabling their transfer, seem to serve as interface ?

note : Perhaps also of interest to look into rfid tagged paper money - which
apparently is currently in circulation. Apparently putting this money in the
microwave burns the rfid chips )

How to choose what information can be public, and what information stays
private, or shared within resticted social networks ?

Over what information do we have the right of control ?
For example, in hospitality networks,
when one deletes ones profile, it seems the comments one wrote ( reputation
) remain in the system, and remain visible to the users of the platform.

I personally would like every individual to make individual choices for
everyone of these aspects, through transaction contracts, for every time of
transaction they engage in, while having in addition seamless interface
options.

I believe such transaction contract vocabularies can be defined - for
example through semantic web protocols.  Though I am still in a learning
process / not programming ...

Cordially
Dante

>> *Important Dates*
>> -----------------
>>
>> Submission Deadline: February 4, 2011
>> Notification to Authors: March 11, 2011
>> Camera-Ready Papers: March 21, 2011
>> Workshop: June 12, 2011

>> *Workshop Theme*

>> Due to the proactive and complex dynamics of pervasive computing

>> further work in the community.
>>
>> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
>>
>>    * Novel applications in pervasive computing highlighting
>>      intelligibility and/or user-driven control.
>>
>>    * Programming techniques (e.g., design patterns, models),
>>      algorithms, architectures and toolkits to support
>>      intelligibility and/or control.
>>
>>    * Interaction techniques and user interfaces to support
>>      intelligibility and/or control, including information
>>      visualization techniques to help users better interpret
>>      explanations from pervasive computing applications.
>>
>>    * User studies exploring design principles to build intelligible
>>      pervasive systems.
>>
>>    * Intelligible smart objects.
>>
>>    * Evaluation metrics and methods to assess support for
>>      intelligibility and control in pervasive computing systems.
>>
>> *Submissions*
>> -------------
>>
>> There will be two separate categories for submission:
>>
>> * Research Contributions should introduce novel concepts and present new
>>  insights and must not exceed 6 pages (ACM Format).
>>
>> * Position Statements may be up to 2 pages (ACM Format). They should
>>  outline a person's interest and experience in topic of the workshop.
>>
>> Authors are encouraged to submit to both categories, if considered
>> appropriate.  Supplementary material (e.g., videos) can be submitted
>> as well and will be made available on the workshop website before the
>> start of the workshop.
>>
>> Accepted papers will be published online on the workshop website and
>> will be included in the electronic conference proceedings. In
>> addition, authors of selected submissions will be invited to submit
>> extended versions to a special issue of a journal or possibly an
>> edited book.
>>
>> Contributions must be submitted through the EasyChair submission
>> system no later than February 4, 2011, and should be in PDF
>> format. More details can be found on the workshop website. If you have
>> any further questions, we encourage you to contact the organizers at
