[participants are being added to this page as they confirm their participation] Alessandro Acquisti is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of
California, Berkeley, CA, and a visiting researcher with RIACS at the
NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA. In 2000, he co founded
PGuardian Technologies, Inc., a provider of technologies for on-line anonymous
transactions. His research interests lie in the overlaps of economics
and information technology. He is currently working with Hal Varian and
Doug Tygar on economic and technical aspects of privacy-enhancing technologies. Robin Cohen a professor in the School of Computer Science at the
University of Waterloo. She has been there since 1984 and since that time
she has been involved in teaching our Social Implications of Computers
course. As a result, she has an interest in and knowledge of privacy considerations
in the use of computerized information. Although she has an interest in
the social implications of computers, she is primarily an artificial intelligence
researcher, having worked in various subareas of the field, including
models of dialogue and interaction, user modeling, plan recognition, intelligent
agents and multi-agent systems. She is currently working on one project
in the area of mixed-initiative systems, collaborations between users
and systems where both parties can take the initiative to direct the problem
solving and the dialogue. One interesting issue that arises is when to
initiate interaction with the other party, not only to promote effective
problem solving but also to ensure that the dialogue is not overly bothersome.
The topic she is interested in addressing is privacy in the context of
intelligent agents, personal digital assistants carrying out tasks on
behalf of users. Personal information is a necessary component of these
systems. Providing users with information about privacy considerations
becomes a question of constructing effective dialogues with these users,
in the context of the personalized problem solving. Jeremy Goecks is a PhD student in the College of Computing at
the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. degree in Computer
Science from the University of Wisconsin and graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
Jeremy's research interests include human-computer interaction, social
computing, computer-supported cooperative work, ubiquitous computing,
and everyday computing. Mike Lewis is a Manager in the Corporate Technology department
at AOL Time Warner. This group looks at long term technology solutions
for both America Online and the Time Warner divisions. Currently,
Mike is helping define the company wide privacy policy and establish the
subscriber data exchange architecture between all of AOLTW's divisions.
He holds a BA in Computer Science from Dartmouth College. Kjell Näckros. Jeff Shell is a Masters student in the School of Computing at
Queen's University. He has been a researcher in the Human
Media Lab for two years, working on building Attentive User Interfaces,
and FRED, an intelligent agent which recognizes and communicates non-verbally.
He has also worked with the Surveillance
Project exploring social construction and social consequences of systems
that process personal and population data, from medicine to marketing
and from government departments to global data-flows. Roel Vertegaal is director of the Human Media Lab and Assistant
Professor at the School of Computing at Queen¹s University, Canada.
He was Associate Co-chair for the ACM Computer-Human Interaction (CHI)
conference, and co-founder and Program Co-Chair of ACM¹s Eye Tracking
Research and Applications Symposium (ETRA). His first degree was in Music,
at Utrecht Conservatory in The Netherlands, and he holds a Master's and
Doctorate in Computer Science. Dr. Vertegaal pioneered the psychological
study of gaze behavior in large groups, and the use of eye trackers as
input devices for Human-Computer Interaction. He was one of the first
to successfully convey eye contact in group video conferencing. His most
recent work is on the Psychology and Design of Nonverbal Computers, focusing
on the development of Attentive User Interfaces, interfaces that track,
model and optimize the attention of their users. |
