Call for Papers
Privacy, Trust and Identity Issues for Ambient Intelligence
Special Issue of Social Science Computer Review

Call for papers: Privacy, Trust and Identity Issues for Ambient
Intelligence

This special issue of Social Science Computer Review will bring
together a collection of high quality academic work that extends,
refines and challenges our understanding of privacy, trust and
identity issues related to ambient intelligence. Ambient intelligence
(AmI) evokes a near future in which humans will be surrounded by
'always-on', unobtrusive, interconnected intelligent objects few of
which will bear any resemblance to the computing devices of today.
Devices embedded in the environment will communicate seamlessly about
any number of different topics e.g. your present state of health,
when you last ate. Interactions with devices and at the same time
other people will become anywhere, anytime.  This seamless exchange
of information implicates, trust, privacy and identity issues as core
variables that need to be fully understood if we are to adopt and use
AmI systems. This special issue will bring together papers that
investigate trust and privacy issues, theoretical and methodological
approaches, policy and legal implications related to information
exchange in an AmI world. Papers from a broad range of social science
perspectives are encouraged. Submissions can be in the form of full
papers (maximum 35 double-spaced manuscript pages including figures,
tables, and references) or in the form of short reports (5 - 12
double-spaced pages).

analysis, computer simulation, critical social theory, economic
modelling, geographic information systems, instructional multimedia,
instrumentation and research tools, social impacts of computing and
telecommunications, software evaluation, web-based survey research,
