                      ***** CALL FOR PAPERS *****

Location privacy is a cross cutting area as it crosses social science, 
communications, location-based services, databases, and security. 
The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists from these areas 
together to foster the collaboration among such interdisciplinary areas 
and spark discussion on open topics related to location privacy.

The workshop aims to address the location privacy from different 
aspects, starting from social studies of users concerns, going through 
different models of representing location privacy, location anonymization 
techniques, imprecise locations, query processing for private or imprecise 
location data, and ending with a study of various attack models for 
private location data. The workshop aims also to discuss location privacy 
in various environments that include using GPS, RFID, or sensor networks. 
The workshop will be organized in a way to allow close interaction among 
participants and to sparkle discussions and thoughts among various research 
communities.
