"Nun war er im Begriff ein Tagebuch anzulegen."

Vom 4. bis 6. Juni wird es in Berlin mit dem “Federated Social Web Summit” eine interessante Konferenz zum Thema Social Web, Open Data, Interoperability, Federated Social Networking und vielem mehr geben. Schwerpunkt sollen Aspekte des Identitätsmanagements und des Datenschutzes sein. Die Konferenz will Entwickler, Datenschützer, IT-Sicherheitsexterpen und viele andere zusammenführen und die Themen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchten.

Social networking services have become an enabler for free communication, at times even under adverse circumstances. Architectures, protocols and standards for the Social Web should therefore be designed to be robust against disruption.
Users must further be able to trust the Social Web to communicate securely and anonymously with their peers.
The workshop aims to address, capture and discuss the challenges and potentials these innovations bring along.

Nicht abschließende Liste für gewünschte Diskussionsthemen und Einreichungen:

• Showcasing interoperability and federation across different social network code-bases, such as the SWAT0 test-cases
• Concrete lessons learned from social networking interoperability code-bases
• Detailing privacy requirements for the Social Web and mapping these into concrete technical proposals and considerations.
• Analysis of attack threats and possible solutions for social networking
• Policy-based approaches to the Social Web that allow one to communicate and share data across specified target audiences.
• Considerations from identity management in social networking.
• Implications of cloud-based social networking on security and privacy, including proposals for privacy-preserving or “private” clouds.

• The role of devices such as mobile, augmented reality, and phones in federated social networking.
