[Om-announce] GenoPri 2021 - Call for Talks and Panels

[GenoPri 2021]

*CALL FOR TALKS AND PANELS*



*8th International Workshop on Genome Privacy and Security – GenoPri 2021*



*Overview*

Over the last 7 years, GenoPri has established itself as a premier forum to
bring researchers, policymakers and industry practitioners from biomedical,
security/privacy and ethic communities together to better understand
privacy issues in biomedicine and to develop effective technological and
policy means to mitigate the privacy risks and facilitate the scientific
progress in biomedical research.



The 8th Genome Privacy and Security Workshop (GenoPri 2021) is now building
on the success of previous organization (2020
<https://2020genopri.weebly.com/>, 2019 <http://2019genopri.weebly.com/>,
2018 <http://2018genopri.weebly.com/>, 2017 <http://2017.genopri.org/>, 2016
<http://2016.genopri.org/>, 2015 <http://2015.genopri.org/>, 2014
<http://2014.genopri.org/>) to foster research aimed to understand and
address all privacy and security issues in biomedical research and
development. Over the past 4 years, the workshop has been successfully held
together with GA4GH. Still in collaboration with GA4GH, this year the event
will take place on September 22, 2021 and will be virtual due to COVID-19
pandemic. More information can be found at genopri.org.



*Call for Talks and Panels*

We seek submissions from Computer Science and Bioinformatics communities,
but also from researchers and practitioners studying the Ethical, Legal,
and Societal issues related to biomedical research, development, and
commercialization.  That is, we invite submissions from scholars,
clinicians, activists, developers, lawyers, ethics experts, public
servants, and all-around researchers in computer science, life sciences,
biology, bioinformatics, law, data protection, ethics, public policy, and
any others who can give a compelling talk about genome privacy and
security. Submissions of proposals to report prior/published research are
also welcome. GenoPri attracts world-renowned experts in this field: if you
are excited to give a talk to such a group, and you think they would be
excited to hear it, then you should submit.



Due date for all submissions is *August 1, 2021 (11.59pm AoE)*.



The talks are tentatively planned to take 15-20 mins, followed by a 5-10
mins of questions. Panels are again tentatively planned to take 60-90 mins
and should address the issues of privacy and/or security from multiple
perspectives.  A possible form consists of 15 min talks from panelists
followed by discussion or an interactive session.



Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

   - Access control for federated genomic networks
   - Applications of differential privacy to the protection of genomic data
   - Attacks on genome privacy
   - Efficient cryptographic techniques for enhancing security/privacy of
   genomic data
   - Hardware supported biomedical computing protection
   - Privacy-preserving biomedical computing and blockchain
   - Ethical and legal issues in genomics data
   - Public engagement in data issues and privacy
   - Collective forms of governance for complex or sensitive data access,
   e.g. combined genotype and phenotype uses
   - Experiences with fielding genomic privacy
   - Federating identification and authorization across multiple data
   holders
   - GDPR consent requirements: issues and challenges
   - GDPR, public interest, fairness and transparency: what do these mean
   for privacy
   - Recent NIH policy change
   - Interdisciplinary projects addressing security/privacy for
   clinical/genomic data
   - Privacy issues in transcriptomics and proteomics
   - Privacy-preserving Implementation experiences
   - Quantification of genome privacy
   - (Re-)Identification attacks against anonymized/pseudonymized genomic
   data
   - Representing data use constraints for access mediation
   - Secure sharing of genomic data between different entities
   - Security and privacy metrics for quantifying leakage of genomic data
   - Standardizing researcher identity claims across a federated network
   - User perceptions of genomic privacy issues





*Submission instructions*

We invite talk and proposals (1000-word limit) that give an overview of
what you intend to present, including any results or conclusions you intend
to share. We look for engaging talks and focused discussions, and so
proposals should contain exciting ideas that can be communicated clearly
and concisely. The submission website can be found here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=genopri2021



Authors are welcome to link additional sources of their work (e.g.,
software, videos, websites, papers) to their proposal. We will strive to
incorporate these additional materials into the review process, though a
comprehensive review of the material beyond what is contained in the
submission text is not guaranteed.



A proposal must include a title and a list of authors responsible for the
work to be presented, one of whom commits to giving the talk. It must be no
more than two pages including references and submitted as a Word or PDF
document.



*Proceedings*

GenoPri does not have official proceedings, but accepted submissions will
be made available on the GenoPri website (authors may revise them after
acceptance). Authors may have the option to include talk-related resources,
such as slides or software, on the website. With the speaker’s consent,
recordings of GenoPri talks may be made available online.



*Review *

The GenoPri program committee will review the submissions. Based on their
assessments, co-chairs will seek to accept submissions that have the
potential to create an engaging workshop for speakers and attendees.
