ANNOUNCEMENT AND CONTINUING CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOURNAL OF PRIVACY TECHNOLOGY

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 SCOPE
The 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 perspectives
The 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 STRUCTURE
The 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.

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Manuscripts 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@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:submissions@xxxxxxxxxxxx>. 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.
