I have forwarded this notice because I feel that the "cypherpunk" point of view could profitably be presented at such a forum. Is there anyone out there who feels up to putting the case forward in this academic setting? I hope so.

Yours in plaintext.

Forty participants representing a diverse set of perspectives and areas of expertise will present papers at the conference which will be held in southern California in mid-December 1993. Up to three successful applicants will receive travel expenses and room and board at teh conference. Papers will be included in the conference proceedings and may be published subsequently in a book or journal symposium. The conference will focus on the ways in which the law, ethics, and technology can influence the bounds of the bounds of acceptable behavior and foster the development of positive human values in a shared computer environment. Participants will address handling unwanted intrusions into computer software or networks, including unauthorized entry and dissemination of viruses through networks or shared disks. Also on the agenda: access to information, privacy, security, and equity; the role of computer users, academic institutions, industry, profesional soceities, government, and the law in defining and maintaining legal and ethical standards for the use of computer networks; and a policy agenda for implementing these standards. Although participants may address any aspect of the conference theme, papers reporting empirical research, surveys of computer users, and case studies (other than those that are already well known) are especially encouraged. If you are interested in participating in the conference, please forward a summary or outline of no more than 500 words, together with a one-page resume and a brief statement detailing how your expertise or perspective would contribute to the meeting. These proposals will be reviewed by an advisory committee convened by NCLS and successful applicants will be asked to prepare papers for the meeting.
