Workshop on Governance of Technology, Information, and Policies (GTIP):
Addressing the Challenges of Worldwide Interconnectivity
December 7, 2010
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
The explosion in the use of the Internet over the last 10 years has connected institutions governments, researchers, and non-technical people throughout the world. The large number of devices connected to the networks has changed the Internet from a set of networks connecting computers to a set of networks connecting all types of objects. This trend, combined with the rise of collaborative technologies, virtual worlds, and cloud computing raises issues profoundly affecting how the management of systems, of computation, and of data is viewed.
A key issue that springs from the implications of managing the interconnection of people and devices throughout the world is how differing laws, customs, and world views have led to the application of technologies to meet goals that conflict, yet must interoperate. For example, the rules governing privacy vary throughout the world. However, with the advent of cloud computing it may no longer be possible to restrict data to jurisdictions with compatible rules because the cloud provider may migrate data or computation to leverage resources in other jurisdictions. How do we handle this situation technologically? How do we devise policies and processes to control the effects of this increasing interconnection, the technology, and the data? What implications does this have for laws, regulations, customs, and management?
The goal of this workshop is to explore these issues in a variety of contexts. We invited original position and research papers describing the challenges that must be resolved, policies, processes and technologies that may prove useful in dealing with these problems, security, technological, societal, and legal issues, as well as aspects of computing and managing data in a world of fragmented and incompatible rules.
