Best regards, GIG-ARTS 2023 Organizing Committee: Joanna Kulesza, Meryem Marzouki, Claudia Padovani, Maria Stella Righettini, and Mauro Santaniello ===== GIG-ARTS 2023 - The Seventh European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies 15-16 May 2023, Padova The Governance of Cybersecurity: Resilience, Human Rights and Democracy events.gig-arts.eu/gig-arts2023 Call for Abstracts - Deadline: 26 February 2023 While during the early stage of Internet development security concerns were generally dealt with as a regulation matter with law enforcement authorities fighting cybercrime, cybersecurity has recently become one of the most debated and controversial issue in the field of internet governance. Cyberattacks have changed in nature and intensity: their growing number; the variety of their targets (public institutions, critical infrastructures and utilities, large and strategic companies); in some cases the terrorist and/or quasi-military objectives of their proven or alleged authors, sponsors or beneficiaries; the expansion of their surface, making profit of digitalization progresses in all sectors; together with the escalation of geopolitical tensions and conflicts; are all features pushing cybersecurity issues to the top of the agendas of both public and private actors. The increasing relevance of cybersecurity is reshaping state powers, public administration, private businesses, civil society and academic research as well. New agencies, procedures, and structures have been institutionalised both by national governments and international organisations to deal with cybersecurity policy problems. New power relations are being established, both inside and beyond the state. Governments, both at the national and local levels, are still struggling to find their own governance structures and set of instruments in the range of different cybersecurity models (e.g. cyber defence, cyber offence, cyber resilience, etc.) and their possible implementations. The provision of public goods and services is undergoing a profound re-design and re-engineering process led by cybersecurity concerns, that implies new models of citizenship and new modes of public administration. Private companies are facing new challenges, often dealing with a shortage of skills and competences of the workforce, while new companies and new business models are emerging around the transnational market of cybersecurity. At the global level, states, through their representatives at the United Nations and its different bodies, confirmed that international law applies online as it does offline. They also identified the need to better understand how international law could be applied in cyberspace, with issues of attribution, liability, sovereignty, rule of law and due diligence being raised. Given the multistakeholder feature of global internet governance, private companies have also jumped in with their own proposals, promoting their roles as possible norms entrepreneurs. Technical management and standardisation organisations have a prominent role to play as well when dealing with global cybersecurity. As a consequence, new research agendas and scientific perspectives on cybersecurity are consolidating, shaping a novel multidisciplinary field of inquiry that is not only exceeding the original field of internet governance, but seems also phagocytizing it: internet governance as an issue of cybersecurity governance. After having addressed “Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue” at its first edition in 2017, “Overcoming Inequalities in Internet Governance” in 2018, “Europe as a Global Player in Internet Governance” in 2019, “Online Information Governance” in 2020, and “Global Internet Governance and International Human Rights” in 2022, the European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies turns its attention this year to the governance of cybersecurity, in view of further investigating and inquiring the political, economic and epistemic transformations connected to the rise of cybersecurity and how they impact on democracy and human rights. In addition to general internet governance issues and topics, submissions are particularly welcome on the following themes: - Cybersecurity and democracy: civil liberties and human rights; - Cybersecurity, citizenship and digital sovereignty; - Institutionalisation of cybersecurity as a field of public policy; - From cybersecurity to cyber resilience: risk analysis, organisational challenges and capacity building; - Models and typologies of cybersecurity; - Relationships between cybersecurity and internet governance; - New theoretical frameworks and methods for the study of cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity and public administration digitalization; - The cybersecurity market and business models; - New technological developments and cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity narratives: policy discourses, cultures and ideologies; - Cybersecurity strategies, policies, instruments, and their implementation; - Multilateral and multistakeholder discussions and instruments for the global governance of cybersecurity; - Cybersecurity in international relations: cyber warfare, cyber peace, diplomacy and international law; - Cybersecurity in Europe Union strategy and policies. Submission information Authors are invited to submit their extended abstracts (no longer than 500 words), describing their research question(s), theoretical framework, approach and methodology, expected findings or empirical outcome. Submitted abstracts will be evaluated through a peer-review process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS The 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Smart Systems (MASS 2023) https://cis.temple.edu/ieeemass2023/index.html September 25 - 27, 2023 Toronto, Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE AND OVERVIEW The 2023 IEEE 20th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Smart Systems will be held in Toronto (Canada), September 25 - 27, 2023. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Computer Society's TCDP. It is a premier annual forum for sharing original, novel ideas in mobile ad-hoc networks and smart systems, defined broadly. As wireless ad-hoc networks continue to evolve and specialize into a number of application scenarios and environments, and sensor-based systems and technologies increasingly permeate our everyday life and become the inner fabric of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems, the unfolding of smart environments such as smart cities, smart farming, smart healthcare, and smart manufacturing, to name a few, demand integrated solutions that can make intelligent use of both cloud and edge systems, while applying machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to handle their growing complexity and to leverage the vast amount of available data created. The MASS organizing committee invites proposals for full-day or half-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself. The goal is to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Workshop proposals are solicited in all areas and topics related to mobile ad-hoc and smart systems. Addressing emerging research directions in these areas are particularly welcome. Accepted MASS 2023 workshop papers will be included in the conference proceeding published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, showing their affiliation with IEEE MASS. We expect all accepted workshops to adhere to a common paper submission (i.e., two-column IEEE conference style, maximum paper length of 6 pages) and reviewing schedule, as outlined in the dates indicated below. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS Each workshop proposal must at least include: 1) Full name of the workshop and its intended acronym 2) Workshop Organizers (names, affiliation and contact information) 3) A short biography of the organizers (up to 200 words for each), highlighting any conferences / workshops chaired 4) A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest to MASS at this time. 5) Some consideration of the communities/groups the workshop intends to attract. 6) The names and affiliations of at least ten program committee member candidates. 7) Planned format of the workshop, including - Duration of the workshop: Half-day, Full-day and tentative schedule - Number of refereed papers, hot topic sessions, keynotes, panels (and panel formats) etc. 8) If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organisers, numbers of submitted and accepted papers, and number of attendees. 9) Draft Call for Papers (max 1 page). 10) A description of the publicity and promotion plan.

Trump retweets dataset
by Deena Abul-Fottouh 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

Hello, I am looking for a dataset of all Trump tweets and I found it on [1]https://github.com/MarkHershey/CompleteTrumpTweetsArchive [2]https://www.thetrumparchive.com/?results=1 and here: [3]https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/austinreese/trump-tweets However, all these websites only give tweets without retweets so I cannot create any retweets networks. I highly appreciate if anyone knows a dataset that will include retweets of Trump? Also, do you think that these retweets were deleted and there is no way to access them now? N.B. I collected millions of tweets with @realDonaldTrump over different time periods and none of these datasets have retweets. They do have mentions though. Does anyone know why this is happening? Your help is much appreciated especially before the deadline of 9 February to collect tweets for free. Thank you. Best regards, Deena ____________________________ Deena Abul-Fottouh, PhD.

Call for Applications: ARTICLE 19 Internet of Rights Fellowship
by Raquel Rennó 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

Dear all, ARTICLE 19's Team Digital is looking for public interest advocates to join the 2023-2024 Internet of Rights (IoR) Fellowship. This is a 12-month fellowship, beginning in April 2023. Since 2014, ARTICLE 19 (A19) has been a pioneer in introducing and strengthening human rights considerations in the design, development, and deployment of Internet infrastructure technologies by participating in global Internet governance bodies where technical standards and policy development happens. In doing so, A19 has carved out pathways for civil society engagement in these bodies; however, there remains the need for greater, more diverse, and more sustainable civil society participation. In its seventh year, the IoR Fellowship will equip and support a diverse community of advocates working on behalf of civil society with the tools they need to carry out long-term engagement to set the technical policies and standards that define the global Internet. More details about the goals of the fellowship and application process can be found here: https://www.article19.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Call-for-Applications-… Kind regards, -- Raquel Rennó www.raquelrenno.net Researcher ID : F-5319-2014 Profile URL:http://www.researcherid.com/rid/F-5319-2014 <http://www.zzzinc.net> -------
