Call for participation: 3rd Workshop on Obfuscation
May 11-12, 2020. Delft, The Netherlands

The 3rd Workshop on Obfuscation (WO2020)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Obfuscation strategies in the digital domain offer creative ways to evade surveillance, protect privacy, improve security by adding, rather than concealing data, with the intention of making data more ambiguous and difficult to exploit. As the digital expands into the physical, the human and the non-human, we find obfuscation also in decision-making, moral choices, coalition-making and novel forms of resistance to the increasing use of optimization in managing our every day lives.

The aim of this workshop is to foster interaction among diverse communities of research and practice interested in obfuscation. In previous sessions, the workshop focused on obfuscation as the art and science of privacy protection in contexts where actions are being monitored and analyzed by humans, organizations, or information technologies. With this new workshop we aspire to broaden the scope to think of other ways in which obfuscation may (or may not) come to serve people in situations of power asymmetries. We especially would like to include topics like adversarial machine learning, protective optimization technologies (POTs), as well as obfuscation in behavioral decision-making contexts by humans and artificial agents.

This interdisciplinary workshop convenes researchers, scientists, policy makers, developers, journalists, activists, artists and other interested parties to discuss a broad range of approaches to obfuscation, including tools, simulations and experimental methods for people to obfuscate themselves and their environments in asymmetries of power and information.
