========================================================================

Scope: Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of
information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits
against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus,
the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and
important for every organization. This poses several challenging
problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into
system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive
data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics: The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas
related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers
and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data
systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this
workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Privacy Information Management
* Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
* Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
* Privacy in Trust Management
* Privacy in Digital Currencies
* Privacy Data Integration
* Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Privacy Services
* Cryptography and Cryptanalysis
* Privacy Policy Analysis
* Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
* Privacy Preserving Data Mining
* Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
* Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
* Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
* Privacy in computer networks
* Privacy and RFIDs
* Privacy and Big Data
* Privacy in sensor networks

========================================================================

Submission guidelines: Full papers should be at most 16
pages (using 11-point font), including the bibliography. Position
papers, as well as shoort papers, should be at most 8
pages (using 11-point font), including the bibliography. Authors
should indicate whether their paper is a position paper to
differentiate them from regular ones (just mention /position paper/
in the title). Program Committee members are not required to read
the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them.
All submissions must be written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site (at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2015)
and following the requirements stated there.

The submitted paper (in PDF format) should follow the template
indicated by Springer (see http://springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
It must start with a title, a short abstract, names and affiliations
of the authors, and a list of keywords.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at
the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

As in previous editions, the proceedings are expected to be published
in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer.

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.
