ANNOUNCEMENT AND CONTINUING CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOURNAL OF PRIVACY TECHNOLOGY For additional information visit http://www.jopt.org----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Journal of Privacy Technology (JOPT) is a new refereed online journal founded and published by the Center for Privacy Technology within the Institute for Software Research International, a division of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Journal is a forum for the publication of original current research in privacy technology. It encourages the submission of any material dealing primarily with the technological aspects of privacy or with the privacy aspects of technology, which may include analysis of the interaction between policy and technology or the technological implications of legal decisions.
AIM AND SCOPEThe JOPT has a unique goal: to cross-fertilize research across the various communities engaged in the construction of privacy technology. JOPT is being launched at a time when several technical communities are actively engaged in some form of privacy problems related to a specific application domain. There is a serious lack of communication between the communities and no community whose primary focus is to develop the foundations of the science of privacy. While a lot of good and useful research is underway, lessons learned in one community are often not shared with other communities, causing researchers to re-invent or ignore known results altogether. The JOPT addresses these needs, and by doing so, fosters the growth of privacy technology in all its constituent domain communities. The JOPT provides a mechanism for researchers to share results across communities by: (1) publishing generalizable findings in the JOPT; and, (2) applying generalized findings learned from the JOPT to constituent domains. We expect researchers to continue to publish domain-specific findings in community publications thereby applying generalized knowledge (from the JOPT) to specific application areas and completing the knowledge-sharing cycle.
We encourage the submission of papers on: * privacy threats: algorithms, protocols, assessments * privacy protection: algorithms, protocols, assessments * applications to a domain * analyses of a technology in a regulatory, business or social setting Specific domain areas of interest include: * bioinformatics * biometrics * computer security (as it relates to privacy) * computer theory * database security * medical informatics * policy specification and enforcement * privacy-preserving data mining * statistical disclosure control * trustworthy computing * ubiquitous computing and semantic web * other areas, including economic, legal, and policy perspectivesThe website http://www.jopt.org provides a more detailed list of specific topics and areas of interest.
The JOPT publishes information on privacy technology in a variety of venues. Paper styles accepted include: research, survey, tutorial, review, and critique manuscripts, as well as letters to the editor, conference notices, news highlights and articles. The Journal is also interested in reviews of research, tutorials, analyses of the impact of law and policy developments on privacy technology and vice versa, and unsolved problems in the field. All paper submissions are peer-reviewed and will be indicated as such upon publication. The Journal may also publish letters, short communications, and relevant news items without formal peer review.
Publication of the JOPT is rolling in the sense that accepted submissions are published immediately upon acceptance after peer and editorial review. The Journal does not have separate volumes and issues in the traditional sense. The University Libraries of Carnegie Mellon University have undertaken to provide a permanent online archive for the Journal with persistent URLs so that the entire contents of the Journal will be available free of charge in perpetuity. The Journal is maintained online through http://www.jopt.org and is available free of charge over the Internet. While it is possible that bound paper copies of Journal content may be produced for a fee, all content will continue to be offered online at no charge.
EDITORIAL STRUCTUREThe Journal is administered by three groups: the Editors (consisting of the editor-in-chief and two managing editors) that handle the daily operation and management, an Advisory Board that provides guidance, and an Editorial Board who handle oversight of reviewing. Board members have been carefully selected and consist of the world's foremost experts on the areas of interest to JOPT.

Altman, Stanford University, USA Josh Benaloh, Microsoft Research, USA Kevin Bowyer, University of Notre Dame, USA Christopher Clifton, Purdue University, USA Lorrie Cranor, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Johannes Gehrke, Cornell University, USA David Jensen, University of Massachusets, USA Isaac Kohane, Harvard University, USA Marc Langheinrich, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland Teresa Lunt, PARC, USA Lisa Nelson, University of Pittsburgh, USA Lucila Ohno-Machado, Harvard University, USA Benny Pinkas, HP Labs, USA Drummond Reed, Cordance Corporation, USA Avi Rubin, Johns Hopkins University, USA Peter Ryan, University of Newcastle, United Kingdom Andrew Senior, IBM Watson Research, USA Vicenc Torra, Institut d'Investigacio en Intelligencia, Spain Daniel Weitzner, Massachussets Institute of Technology, USA Leon Willenborg, Statistics Netherlands, Netherlands William Winkler, U.S. Census Bureau, USA INFORMATION FOR AUTHORSManuscripts must be submitted in machine-readable Microsoft Word format (.doc or .rtf), Postscript (.ps) or Portable Document Format (.pdf). Both Word and Latex template files are available on the website http://www.jopt.org. Manuscripts should be emailed as attachments to submissions () www jopt org <mailto:submissions () www jopt org>. The cover page of the paper must identify the kind of manuscript being provided and the key areas that are the subject of the paper.
A single author or point of contact must be designated by the submitter(s) to receive further correspondence. When a paper is received, its receipt is acknowledged. It is examined by the Editors for general suitability and conformance to editorial policy and then passed to one or more members of the Editorial Board, who referee the submission and/or pass it on to other suitable reviewers. The reviews are anonymous; that is, the identity of the reviewers is not known to the Editors.When at least three favorable reviews have been received, the submission is ripe for consideration by the Editors. When a submission is accepted, the author(s) are notified and publication occurs immediately after final editing of the manuscript for typographical errors, correct citations, and the like. Normally, submissions are acted upon within 60 days.
The author(s) retain any copyright in submitted material. The Journal receives only a non-exclusive License, for the term of any copyright, to reproduce, distribute, perform, index, archive and display publicly any works submitted, either online, in print or in any other form. The Journal neither receives nor pays any fee for submitted articles, regardless of whether they are eventually published. By submitting an article, the author(s) certify (1) that they have the right to submit the article for publication and to grant the above License to the Journal; and (2) except as may be noted in writing accompanying the submission, that the article has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. In general, the Journal will accept suitable papers that may have appeared previously as technical reports or in other non-archival forms, but will not publish articles that have been published in archival journals.
Tenure Qualification. Because the research papers in the Journal will be subjected to thorough peer review, it is expected that the online nature of publication will positively reflect on the quality of its papers in the eyes of tenure and promotion review committees. Toward this goal, the Institute for Software Research International, a division of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, regards publication in the Journal as the equivalent of publication in a print journal.
