IWPE’16 welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions based on recent developments in privacy engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Integrating law and policy compliance into the development process
  • Privacy impact assessment during software development
  • Privacy risk management models
  • Privacy breach recovery Methods
  • Technical standards, heuristics and best practices for privacy engineering
  • Privacy engineering in technical standards
  • Privacy requirements elicitation and analysis methods
  • User privacy and data protection requirements
  • Management of privacy requirements with other system requirements
  • Privacy requirements implementation
  • Privacy engineering strategies and design patterns
  • Privacy-preserving architectures
  • Privacy engineering and databases
  • Privacy engineering in the context of interaction design and usability
  • Privacy testing and evaluation methods
  • Validation and verification of privacy requirements
  • Engineering Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)
  • Integration of PETs into systems
  • Models and approaches for the verification of privacy properties
  • Tools and formal languages supporting privacy engineering
  • Teaching and training privacy engineering
  • Adaptations of privacy engineering into specific software development processes
  • Pilots and real-world applications
  • Evaluation of privacy engineering methods, technologies and tools
  • Privacy engineering and accountability
  • Privacy engineering and business processes
  • Privacy engineering and manageability of data in (large) enterprises
  • Organizational, legal, political and economic aspects of privacy engineering

This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive, as IWPE'16 is interested in all aspects of privacy engineering. However, to screen out off-topic papers early in the review process, we request authors to submit an abstract prior to their paper submission. Abstracts of papers without a clear application to privacy engineering will be considered outside the scope of this workshop and may be rejected.
