With the continuous proliferation of diverse Internet-based computing paradigms, 
large amounts of data containing privacy-sensitive information are being constantly 
published, collected, processed, and archived. This trend will be further fueled 
up by the new development of emerging IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, smart 
cities, e-health, ecommerce, social and behavioral studies, social networking, 
edge computing, and cloud computing. As a result, fastgrowing concerns about data 
privacy from academia as well as industry emerge in recent years, which motivate 
researchers and practitioners to investigate challenging research questions such 
as how to guarantee that the collected or published data are not misused; how to 
ensure that data processing does not disclose any sensitive information; how to 
store the data securely for privacy protection; how to define new privacy policies 
that allow desirable services; and how to make sure that privacy policies issued 
by government and industry are not violated.

The IEEE Symposium on Privacy-Aware Computing (IEEE PAC) brings together experts 
from academia, government, and industry to present and discuss recent advances 
and new perspectives on related research and development in privacy-aware 
computing. We invite original theoretical contributions as well as system 
implementation/experimentation works on all topics related to "making computing 
privacy-aware". Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

 * Privacy-aware mobile computing
 * Privacy-aware information retrieval
 * Privacy-aware computation outsourcing
 * Privacy-preserving data collection
 * Privacy-aware data mining and machine learning
 * Privacy-aware financial technology
 * Privacy-aware bio-computing
 * Privacy-aware social computing
 * Differential privacy and data perturbation techniques
 * Privacy-aware database systems
 * Privacy issues in wearable computing and e-healthcare
 * Privacy issues in Internet of Things
 * Privacy issues in web services
 * Privacy issues in network systems
 * Privacy issues in wireless systems
 * Privacy issues in mobile sensing
 * Privacy issues in social and behavioral studies
 * Location/Localization privacy
 * Anonymous Communications
 * Privacy issues in software defined networks
 * Privacy technologies for digital currency and mobile payment
 * Hardware-related privacy technologies
 * Privacy threats and countermeasures
 * Policy issues for privacy-aware computing
