CALL FOR PAPERS
CLAT 2007
Computer-aided Law and Advanced Technologies track
of ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, SAC 2007
http://www.clat.unibo.it
http://www.mfn.unipmn.it/~lavinia/clat2007
Seoul, Korea, March 11-15, 2007
===============================================
The 3rd Computer-aided Law and Advanced Technologies forum (CLAT
2007) will be held as part of the 22nd ACM Symposium on Applied
Computing (SAC 2007), March 11-15, 2007, Seoul, Korea (http://
www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/).
SAC 2007
For the past twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
(SAC) has been an essential forum for applied computer scientists,
computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers
from around the world. SAC 2007 is sponsored by the ACM Special
Interest Group on Applied Computing, and hosted by the Seoul National
University in Seoul, and Suwon University in Gyeonggi-do.
CLAT 2007
Advances in computer applications and the social cyberspaces created
by computing networks highlight the need for a revised legal
framework to deal with emerging issues. Similarly, the legal domain
can benefit from such technical advances.
On the other hand, dematerialization of documents and documental
flows call for appropriate technical tools that allow to design
paradigms meeting the relevant legal requirements.
A combined effort of the computer science and law communities would
have benefical consequences in areas such as e-Business, e-
Government, e-Commerce,...
A track that focuses on the intersection of law and technology
represents a broad and diverse forum for the discussion of research
in computer-aided law and can provide synergies when aligned with
other areas of SAC.
Of particular interest is the identification of a new technology-
aided paradigm, one which assures security and trust among its
practitioners. This would entail the management of communications
and electronic relationships, both private and public.
Topics to be addressed will cover the use of computer technologies
within public administration (e-Government) and the private sector (e-
Commerce), among several other key areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1) TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR:
Agent-treatable legal issues
Civil liability
Codes of conduct
Contracts
Copyright protection
Counter-terrorism initiatives
Criminal liability
e-Business
e-Governance
e-Government
Electronic court proceedings
Electronic evidence
Intellectual property
Legal publicity
On-line dispute resolution
Privacy
Protection of consumer rights
Torts
Trust and reputation
2) LEGAL ASPECTS OF:
Agent-based paradigms
Artificial intelligence
Cybercrime
Databases
Dematerialization of documental flows
Digital signatures
Electronic documents
Electronic mail
Network security
Online creative industries
Privacy-preserving data-mining
Public key infrastructures
Security mechanisms (encryption, authentication, access control, etc.)
Simulation
Software protection
Traffic monitoring and logging
Trust and reputation models
Virtual communities
Watermarking and fingerprinting techniques
PROGRAMME
The workshop will include paper presentations and panel sessions over
the course of one day. The
programme will be available at the conference site and at the track
sites.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We encourage submissions of papers describing original research not
previously published. According to the conference policy, papers
cannot be submitted to multiple tracks of SAC 2007. Each paper will
be reviewed by at least three referees, both with legal and technical
competences. The review process will be blind.
The length of submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACM
format (approximately 8000 words). However, notice that accepted
papers exceeding 5 pages (approximately 5000 words) will be charged a
fee for each extra page.
Submissions will be managed electronically.
Papers should be submitted at http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2007/
SubmitAbstract.aspx?TrackID=83.
(For any technical problems with the submission system, please
contact jallen at cs.iupui.edu.)
For further submission guidelines, please see the track sites: http://
