Report on the Sixth ACM Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (WPES 2007)

ABSTRACT

The world is transforming into an electronic society where almost every aspect of our lives is increasingly computerized and interconnected. Such a transformation has profoundly changed the scope, the scale and the level of automation for information collection, storage, analysis and dissemination. It, on the one hand, has and continues to enable new and better services. On the other hand, it inevitably increases the degree of privacy concerns.
