Mobility, Individualisation, Socialisation, Connectivity (MISC) 2010 Conference
While emerging technologies and practices are leading towards a more person-centric Internet (social networks, user generated contents, ePortfolio, personal health records, vendor relationships management systems, Web 2.0, etc.) the current Internet architecture, which is still organisation-centric, leads to increased fragmentation of personal data across an ever growing number of services and places. This fragmentation ultimately leads to loss of privacy and loss of trust in personal and business relationships.
Moreover, while legislation states that the right to rectify personal records hosted by service providers, this is rarely enforced, simply because it is impossible to keep track of all the places where we leave and abandon personal data. Furthermore, legislation does not state someone's right to personal data sharing, e.g. someone's right to share personal health record or bank credit record with the preferable service: the personal data remains under the control of organisations, not the individuals.
The objective of the conference is to explore the means to create an open and trustworthy architecture based on the strict separation between hosting of personal data and their exploitation by web services and move towards a person-centric architecture.Â
The MISC conference is about exploring the current changes in technologies and practices towards individualisation and socialisation through digital identity, connectivity and mobile technology in a perspective of lifelong learning and employability.
Its goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in a variety of fields (education, employment, healthcare, policy, technologies etc.) to facilitate exchanges and foster future collaborations. It aims at offering a forum where these researchers and practitioners can discuss theoretical as well as practical aspects, open issues, and explore the latest advances in the state of the art digital identity construction and personal data management.

Registration can be performed online with the payment of a fee. Expected number of participants is around 100-150.
