The age of information and communication has revolutionized the way companies do business, especially in providing competitive and innovative services. Business processes not only integrates departments and subsidiaries of enterprises but also are extended across organizations and to interact with governments. On the other hand, wireless technologies and peer-to-peer networks enable ubiquitous access to services and information systems with scalability. This results in the removal of barriers of market expansion and new business opportunities as well as threats. In this new globalized and ubiquitous environment, it is of increasing importance to consider legal and social aspects in business activities and information systems that will provide some level of certainty.
There is a broad spectrum of vertical domains where legal and social issues influence the design and development of information systems, such as web personalization and protection of users privacy in service provision, intellectual property rights protection when designing and implementing virtual works and multiplayer digital games, copyright protection in collaborative environments, automation of contracting and contract monitoring on the web, protection of privacy in location-based computing, etc.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together computer science researchers, engineers, policy makers and practitioners working at the state of the art on information and related fields such as legal domain, social sciences, and marketing. This event will also outline the major challenges and future perspectives on incorporating legal and social aspects at the design, deployment, evaluation of information systems under emerging computing environments, such as, but not limited to:
- Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) and service computing
- Mobile, pervasive, and ubiquitous computing
- Web security and privacy
- Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services
- Agent and autonomous computing
- Grid computing
- Virtual communities
- Inter-, intra-organizational and governmental integration
Topics of legal and social aspects of information systems include but are not limited to:
- Principles, theories, and challenges of legal and social aspects
- Strategies, modeling, and requirements engineering of legal and social aspects
- Architectures, implementations, and deployment consideration of legal and social aspects
- Cyber threats, emerging risks, systemic concerns, and emergency preparedness
- Social computing and lifestyle computing
- Service marketing and customer relationship management
- Market structures and emerging business models
- Emerging legal issues due to new computing environment
- File / information sharing networks and user behavior
- Knowledge modeling, management, and application
- Negotiation and contracting as well as contract monitoring and enforcement
- E-democracy, e-policy, and governance
- Legal and social ontologies
- Privacy and copyright in collaborative environments and social networks
- Intellectual property rights
- Trust, security, and privacy
- Identity management and access control
- Security and Privacy in Location Based services

Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org
Panel proposals:
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies.
