Join us for this workshop when experts from academia, industry, government, and public interest advocacy organizations examine spyware in the broader context of computer security, governance of the information infrastructure, and the rights of individual computer-users in relation to public and commercial institutions with which they interact online. Panelists will address questions about the nature of spyware, its prevalence, it perpetrators, its harms, and its victims. They will reveal motives and incentive structures behind it as well as the technical and regulatory context that makes it possible, and they will deliberate over solutions strategies, whether individual or social, whether technical, economic, educational, or legal. Our aim is to achieve meaningful progress toward a well-rounded understanding of spyware and related issues at the intersection of computer security and social values. We anticipate and welcome a diversity of viewpoints and voices.

Free and open to all but it would be helpful for our planning if you let us know, Spyware Workshop RSVP, if you are planning to attend. For information regarding hotel accommodations for out-of-town guests, go to http://www.nyu.edu/about/hotels.html.
