PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2010 (PSD 2010)
================================================
***FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 23, 2010***
Corfu, Greece, Sep. 22-24, 2010

1. AIMS AND GOALS
-----------------
Privacy in statistical databases is about finding
tradeoffs to the tension between the increasing
societal and economical demand for accurate information
and the legal and ethical obligation to protect
the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are
the respondents providing the statistical data.
In the case of statistical databases,
the motivation for respondent privacy is one of survival:
statistical agencies or survey institutes cannot expect to
collect accurate information from individual or
corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy
of their responses is guaranteed.
Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy
dimensions to be considered: privacy for the data owners
(organizations owning or gathering the data, who wouldn't
like to share the data they have collected at great expense)
and privacy for the users (those who submit queries to the
database and would like their analyses to stay private).
"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2010" (PSD 2010) is
a conference sponsored and organized by
the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy (http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat)
and the CONSOLIDER ARES project (http://crises-deim.urv.cat/ares),
with proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture
Notes in Computer Science. It purpose is to attract
world-wide, high-level research in statistical database privacy.
PSD 2010 is a successor to PSD 2008
(Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008),
PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec. 13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006)
and PSD 2004 (Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004),
all with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 5262,
LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively.
Those four PSD conferences follow a tradition of
high-quality technical conferences on SDC which started with
"Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998
and with proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued
with the AMRADS project SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg
in 2001 and with proceedings published in Springer LNCS 2316.
Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2010 originates
in Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database
privacy and SDC. Thus,
contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.

4. SUBMISSIONS
--------------
Full papers containing either original technical contributions
or high-quality surveys on the above topics or on
related topics are sought.
A submission should be clearly
marked either as an original paper or a survey. Submissions
should contain a cover letter indicating:
1) whether the submission is a survey or an original
contribution;
2) the title of the submission;
3) keywords classifying the paper topic;
4) the names and affiliations of authors;
5) the e-mail, telephone and facsimile numbers of the
contact author.
The submission itself should be sent as an attached
PDF file. Submission and their cover letters should
be sent to
psd2010@xxxxxxx
Camera-ready versions of
accepted papers should be prepared using the LaTeX2e
style or the Word template
of Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer
Science. For LaTeX2e,

file typeinst.zip can be downloaded from
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

5. PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES
-----------------------------------------
Among PSD 2010 accepted papers, a selection
will be made based on quality
and coverage and the selected papers will be published in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer.
This follows the tradition of PSD 2008 (LNCS 5262),
PSD 2006 (LNCS 4302), PSD 2004 (LNCS 3050) and the
AMRADS Workshop on SDC (LNCS 2316).
The remaining accepted papers will be published in a CD with an ISBN.
It is possible to submit a paper directly for the CD, which
benefits from a later submission deadline (see CD-only dates below).
The form of publication of an accepted paper will be clearly
specified in the acceptance message.
Both the LNCS volume and the CD will be *available at the conference*.
IMPORTANT: Among papers in the LNCS
proceedings, a second selection of up to 8-10 papers will be made
by the Chair, also aimed at topic coverage and quality, and those papers will
be divided into two groups. Authors of the first group of papers
will be invited to prepare a substantially extended version
for a special issue of the "Transactions on Data Privacy" journal.
Similarly, authors of the second group of papers will be invited
for a special issue of "SORT-Statistics and Operations
Research Transactions" (forthcoming in ISI JCR).
