PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2014 (PSD 2014)
================================================

***FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: HARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 11, 2014***

Eivissa, Balearic Islands, Sep. 17-19, 2014

http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014

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 would not 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 2014" (PSD 2014) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) 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 2014 is a successor to PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep.
22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010), 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 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS
5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those six 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 2014 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.

Semantic Methods in Genetic Programming
A workshop at 13th International Conference on
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature
September 13-17, 2014, Ljubljana, Slovenia, Jo?ef Stefan Institute
http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/kkrawiec/smgp2014/
------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers

There's *just over one month left* (31 May 2014) to get your extended
abstracts (max 2 pages) ready for the Semantic Methods in Genetic
Programming Workshop to be held at PPSN in September.

In the last few years a rising topic in GP has been the use of semantic
methods. The aim of this is to provide a way of exploring the
input-output behaviour of programs, which is ultimately what matters for
problem solving. This contrasts with much previous work in GP, where
operators transform the program code and the effect on program behaviour
is indirect. This new approach has produced substantially better results
on a number of problems, both benchmark problems and real-world
applications in areas such as pharmacy; and, has been grounded in a body
of theory, which also informs algorithm design.

The main goal of the workshop is to foster discussions rather than
present finished work. In tradition with the PPSN workshops, the
extended abstracts are not published in the conference proceedings.
However, the organisers will make both abstracts and slides available
online on the workshop webpage. The workshop is associated with a
Special Issue of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal by
Springer, and provides an opportunity to have an open discussion and
receive feedback in preparation for submission to that special issue.

Scope: All aspects of research related to semantic aspects in GP will be
considered, including:
- analysis and design of GP algorithms involving phenotypes/behaviours
of programs,
- design of problem-specific semantic-aware representations and operators,
- the use of formal semantic-related methods in GP.

This is an ideal opportunity to get some feedback on work in progress,
which you might be considering to submit to the Special Issue of Genetic
Programming & Evolvable Machines on Semantic Methods in GP. Please note
the submission deadline of 19 December 2014 for journal articles.
