Title: 6th International Conference on e-Democracy: Citizen rights in the world of the new computing paradigms
Date: 10-11 December 2015
Location: Athens, Greece
Information and communication technologies move fast; faster than society, faster than governments, faster than the law. Connectivity is already impressive, but the near future brings about the interconnection of everything, via the Internet of Things. It also brings fundamental changes to our computing paradigm, with cloud computing gaining momentum and being expected to become the prevalent computing paradigm in the years to come. Increasingly more data are being collected, about almost everything one can imagine; and they remain there, in cyberspace, for ever, sometimes even resisting efforts to delete them. These data are so attractive that a new science, going by the name “big data” has already emerged. All these developments constitute in most cases an improvement in our everyday lives, but sometimes infringe our rights as citizens. The challenge, therefore, is to safeguard citizen rights in the face of a new era, landmarked by new computing paradigms.
Dr Steve Taylor, SENSE4US project coordinator, participated in eChallenges conference this year and presented an interesting paper written by himself and project partners, namely Timo Wandhofer, Ruth Fox, and Rasa Uzdavinyte. The paper describes the initial creation and evaluation of a web-based toolkit that comprises different types of information retrieval and analysis tools, specifically intended to help research for policy makers in governmental and legislative institutions.
During the last year, several interesting papers about the project or related to it have been written by the consortium partners and presented to conferences or submitted to scientific journals.
The list of titles of the latest papers is presented below:
