IWPE welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions on the recent developments in the general area of privacy engineering. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

• Integrating law and policy compliance into the development process
• Privacy or data protection impact assessments in the engineering context
• Privacy engineering and data driven software development
• Privacy engineering and machine learning
• Privacy engineering and artificial intelligence
• Privacy engineering and data subject access rights
• Privacy risk management models
• Privacy breach recovery methods
• Privacy engineering and data portability
• Technical standards, heuristics and best practices for privacy engineering
• Privacy engineering in technical standards
• Privacy requirements elicitation and analysis methods
• User privacy and data protection requirements
• Management of privacy requirements with other system requirements
• Privacy requirements elicitation and analysis techniques
• Privacy design patterns
• Privacy-preserving architectures
• Privacy engineering and databases, services and the cloud
• Privacy engineering in networks
• Engineering techniques for fairness, transparency, and privacy in databases
• Privacy engineering in the context of interaction design and usability
• Privacy testing and evaluation methods
• Validation and verification of privacy requirements
Privacy Engineering and design
• Engineering Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)
• Integration of PETs into systems or the development ecosystem
• Models and approaches for the verification of privacy properties
• Tools and formal languages supporting privacy engineering
Usable privacy for developers
• Teaching and training privacy engineering
• Adaptations of privacy engineering into specific software development processes
• Pilots and real-world applications
• Evaluation of privacy engineering methods, technologies and tools
• Privacy engineering and accountability
• Privacy engineering and business processes
• Privacy engineering and manageability of data in (large) enterprises
• Organizational, legal, political and economic aspects of privacy engineering

This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; since IWPE is interested in all aspects of privacy engineering. However, to screen out off-topic papers early in the review process, we request authors to submit an abstract prior to their paper submission. Abstracts of papers without a clear application to privacy engineering will be considered outside the scope of this workshop and may be rejected.
