Following the successful IDIS 08 workshop held at Lago Maggiore in June 2008, we are pleased to release a Call for Papers for the second Annual Workshop on Identity in the Information Society (IDIS 09), to be held on June 5, 2009 in London, England, at the campus of the London School of Economics and Political Science.


The workshop aims to provide an opportunity to present leading edge research, exchange ideas, encourage collaboration, and build communities across the various research groups working on contemporary identity topics and in related fields of privacy and security.

The theme of the Second Multidisciplinary Workshop on Identity in the Information Society is “Identity and the Impact of Technology”. The workshop will seek to explore the relationship between the ways in which identity and technology have mutually shaped each other.

New technologies for the control and management of identity are being developed and introduced daily by public administrations and online businesses; technologies which are designed to alter the way that citizens and consumers interact with these bodies. New notions of identity are being made possible by technological innovation.

Just some of the questions that are raised in this area are:

 

- How far has technology altered prevailing notions of identity?

- What new technologies are emerging and what might be their impacts?

- To what extent is it possible to inscribe legal requirements into technologies of identity, and with what results?
